Enclosure advice

I was wonder how everyone is securing everything into their enclosures.

And tips for proper tools to cut holes?

I feel like i could wire everything but the enclosure is where im stumped.

I want to make something simple and clean...

Also if anyone knows a cup holder sized enclosure that can fix batteries that would be cool!

Thanks!

I used a ton of hot glue to hold everything down. Coil pretty much holds it's in place because it grabs the glass adapter but I also have a glass dab jar under it. Gives it a nice spot for the Dyna to sit on while it heats. For holes I forget what the biggest size is but I want to say it's 3/4 inch. I used a 1/4 inch drill bit and a grinder attachment on a Dremel to make my holes but buying a stepped drill bit or a spade bit is probably the best way to go.

One of the top posted IH uses this cup for a battery powered one.

I use very strong double sided tape. If anyone has issues or you need to swap a part. You don’t want to pooch yourself with epoxy.

Isn’t to say I don’t use glue/epoxy when needed and appropriate

Stepped drill bit, cheap at Harbor Freight. Search "project box" find a size you like and go for it. A lot of wood ones on Etsy & ebay if wood is your thing. Have fun.
