Nice! I wish I found that enclosure before buying a Hubbell. Mine is smaller and a lot more expensive. Would be interested to know how he has the relay board suspended above the Acorn?

he made a plexi cover for Acorn and put through holes in it to mount the relay 8 board.

you can see it better in this photo.

I updated the Gear we use but don't sell page with new items and updated links.
https://www.centroidcnc.com/centroid_di ... _gear.html

amazon broke all affiliate links that had images world wide! so, i redid the page with static links and added a few and fixed a few others.
