I am designing the enclosure as a separate component in Fusion 360 in order to make it easier to hide it when necessary. The aluminum profiles are anodized black and the cast iron brackets have a black oxide finish. My goal is to give the outside enclosure a totally black finish, without having to use any additional paint or covering panels. Also, I am trying to design it in such a way that the machine enclosure does not look like a simple assembly of standard aluminum profiles, even though that is exactly what it is. In other words, I am aiming for a high-end look-and-feel while using standard parts with fairly uncommon finishes. The outside will be totally black, while the inside will be totally white. The contrast should be quite striking.
Generally-speaking, I am shooting for a distinctive look, but without having to design many custom parts.
Easier said than done...
