My lab is growing quite nicely but I don't have a lot of desk area.
I am thinking to make a small desktop bookcase with slots for the scope and generator and a flat top to put stuff on as well, something like this:
I realize these machines need to dissipate heat and have air cooling in place, which requires some room to vent in/out.
I just wonder, purely asking for your opinion (and everything I choose to do is my own responsibility) - what would you consider an effective gap between the machine and wood?
Currently, I am thinking 3cm each way (left, right, top and back).
Also, is it a problem if I wanted a solid back for my bookcase or better to not close it at all? I prefer a solid back to manage dust but obviously, if airflow is a concern, will make sure the machines are safe, first.
Any thoughts appreciated
