Comments sought on new build: A CNC Router for RC Gliders and Planes

I went with a small project box over the area on the stepper motor where the wires exit, making it look a bit tidier. Also adds a bit of impact protection. Inside the box I used a choc-box.



But solder and heatshrink, with the option of netted sleeving also work.

The Z axis stepper will be covered by a cover ill be making from sheet metal to cover the entire Z axis (Jazz's idea) and the Y stepper is enclosed in the gantry (or will be) so the only stepper exposed will be the X axis one, I might look into a cover for that once the machine is up and running. It'll also be tucked away at the top of the router (it's going 80° vertical on its side) at the back so hopefully out of the way.
