Progress photos of the cabinet build for your viewing;


Due to the size limitations, I have raised the main DIN rail so that I can cable between devices. You can see the braid cable sleeves with heat shrink to keep things tidy.
More photos to follow I hope.

Interesting idea to raise one of the DIN rails. I'm far from an expert on this but am wondering if having most of the earths going to the lower DIN rail makes that your main earth star point and having the island of earths on the raised DIN rail give the potential for loops / inductance (if that is the right term). I see you have an earth block on the raised rail, plus the earth wire going down to the main star point, plus the parallel earth routes through the all-thread. This doesn't quite seem right but definitately one for an expert opinion . . .

There is only the incoming earth onto the top rail, this then distributes to the bottom "STAR" earth and all components will be erathed back here.
Nothing as far as I am aware is earthed directly through the DIN rail so nothing will ground through this and the allthread.
Again like yourself just my idea, but am willing to be corrected as always ;-)
