No, this equipment is something we purchased for our facilities :)

Yet another one at 1:54

Thanks for the feedback! We are always looking to improve. This video was meant to be an overview of the different design options available, with a focus on weather resistance, but we'll definitely look at creating more videos on specific applications and deeper dives into waterproof designs.

Thanks, Alex!

Hey Ryan, thanks for reaching out with your question! Is it the ATX enclosure that you're customizing? We also have an ATX PCI cutout in the Library, so just wanted to clarify first. :)

@@ProtocaseInc Yes I was looking over the atx template. I also saw the other cutouts for an atx motherboard.

@@ryankossick5791 Ah, okay, gotcha. The ATX template's initial cutouts and other items are not editable, unfortunately. However, you could start with an L-Shape template (since that is the same shape as the ATX template) and add the ATX and other cutouts you need from the library. Let us know if that workaround helps!

Hi there, that's true! Cross breaks can be especially common for things like duct work. We do get requests for it from time to time.

Love that! Perfect blend of form and function. If you're up for it, send us a message with some pics, because we'd love to share it on our Instagram!

Keeping the surface cool, dry and isolated from oxygen would be fundamental for preventing oxidization. However, the best way would be to apply any type of protective coating.

Tin plating would be considered a good form of corrosion protection, similar to how powdercoat would also protect the metal.

Hey there! We cut all of our stocked perforated sheet metal on our lasers.

Great question! Aceteal Copolymer (Co-POM) has better long term resistance to corrosion and has low moisture absorption. Its also much more chemically resistant in the long-term than Acetal Homopolymer. If we are talking about short-term mechanical properties, than you would have no problem with H-POM. Hope this answer clears it up for you. Thanks!

Hey there, good point! We do have corner rounding tools here in our machining facilities. We've put this on our calendar to cover in a future Proto Tech Tip :)

😄

Hi there, tubes don't really fall within our manufacturing capabilities, so we don't have specific design guidance for that.

All the best to you as well, Brett!

Hey Derek, we distribute them to our staff, suppliers and select customers. We will keep you posted if we ever expand distribution!

Hi there, great question. It does not at this time.

@@ProtocaseInc It would be really nice if the software generated an STL for me to 3d print so that I could verify it in hand, before committing the funds to cutting metal.

@@kayak_homie Hi there! You actually can export a STL (as well as STEP, Parasolid and OBJ). When you have your design open in Protocase Designer, in the 3D Viewer, there is a button under Create called Export.

Hi there, we checked with our team, and they had a couple points: -You would want to weld before chem filming, because the process of welding (and grinding the welds so they're smooth, etc) would remove the chem film coverage from the welded areas. This would increase the likelihood of corrosion for those areas that were welded. -However, one important note is that our chem film tanks can accommodate 43.5“L x 34”W x 30“H (diagonal of 49"). So we wouldn't have the capabilities in-house to chem film a cabinet that large. We can always look into third-party suppliers. Hope that helps!

Hi there, we checked with our Engineering & Design Services team, and they said: "For our process of doing hem bends, if you required miter flanges we would need to remove the bend radius in the areas where the length is less than 0.5in. However, we would recommend going with how it is designed in the video." We have a screenshot of how it would look to remove the bend radius, but you can't attach a pic to a comment on KZbin. 😕

So glad it was helpful!
