A decent power supply is worth its weight.
I'm finally getting around to setting up an anodising setup, and have been looking at suitable containers.
Does anybody think these containers would be suitable?- https://www.plasticboxshop.co.uk/ho...d-boxes-c29/11-litre-plastic-pantry-box-p2365
I'd probably aim to have them about half full, and mount them in some form of bench so they could be easily covered when not in use.

Any plastic container should be fine but one that is of a flexible type will be better as less chance of it cracking if something hits against it. I have used all sorts from a cut in half berry barrel, 20l oil drum, seed tray and currently I am using an old Peli Case.
Is that engraving with a diode laser?
The bike parts are they 3d printed or CNC?
Is there any part of the bike still original?

Nope, on second front and third rear

I just thought it would be ironic if the replaceable parts were the ones that were still originalNope, on second front and third rear
So.
I ordered those plastic containers I linked to above.
I had already bought heating elements a while ago in preparation.
Containers are 165 square.
Heating elements are 200mm long.
Smaller heating elements have now been sourced, and should be here by the end of the month.
At least I've got a couple other projects to keep me busy :/

Have a chemistry question for you all, sort of related... unknown chemical in my storage... the marker seems to have came off the bag. Quite sure there was no visible liquid when these were stored. I wouldnt store liquid chemicals in a poly bag, would I? 
Perhaps it was hydroscopic and the tub not sealed
Noticed liquid in a clip lock storage container, one that should not have liquid as it was also storing a small bag of copper sulphate ( which I previously used some to make my acid) the CuSO⁴ was still mostly dry and the liquid clear so that has not leaked.
For anodising I'd also bought a big tub of the PH minus stuff. Perhaps that was the white solid in the wet bag?
Neutralised it with bicarbonate but annoying me to not remember.
Have some parts to annodise in next week or so, I have to remember how this works!

I use NaOH and KOH for biofuels.
If I use a cup to weigh some up, and don't put the cup away in an airtight container, it begins to look like someone has (briefly) left it out in the rain.
It sucks the moisture out of the air. Or reacts with something in the air to form water, but I'm pretty sure that's not the chemistry.
If your stuff was a ph up (I know you said down) then it could well be similar chemistry.
