My full effort to get the optical table enclosure ready for the lab has failed today.
What I did: cut IR thermashield sheets to size for sides and top and sandwitched them beetween 1" and 1/4" acrylic.
The carpenter shop recut the bottom o -ring groove to 0.250" wide and 0.150" deep.
O-ring was cut and installed. So this was ready to go lab.
NO, I realized that the liner yellow acrylic was not cut correctly. It was larger than 1" wall.
The shop is cutting them down to fit and I have to resize IR shields |
