Designed and printed a box for a little circuit board. Sunlu petg matte.
I like you prominent emergency stop buttons.
What sort of size is the control box ...such things are often useful to people looking for working boxes

Ref the bender, home made or bought? Ditto the square section dies?
I need to get one to roll 25mm box section.

Bought...Katsu, £150 Amazon including adjustable dies. I think the price has risen but Aim tools sell it and slightly cheaper direct from them. It's OK but the knurled wheel isn't hard enough and the knurling is wearing off.
I was bending 25x25x1.5mm with no problems
130x60x43 with 2mm walls, lid is 3mm thick.
Nice sturdy self contained stop screwed straight to the shelf so it won't flex, Father wired it up so that stop kills power to the vfd and the isolator switch in the background does vfd and light so if you want you can just turn the light on without powering it up for say when tig welding a shaft in the chuck but you don't want the vfd to start spinning because of the HF arc.

An angle marker for 25mm box section
printed this earlier, it's the 2nd version, essentially a big tray with a slot in the bottom... turned on brim instead of support this time!
pretty impressed how well it did, that's a 120mm gap
(ignore the rough bottom edge, not tidied up snapping off the brim yet)

Small paint on support in the centre would make it pretty flawless and still quick to print, you can also tweak Bridge settings to be thin so less sag initially.
