id like to go over the readme again, and add some info to answer questions we are seeing a lot on the discord. it may be worthwhile to add a readme to some of the subfolders, to help explain their contents without bloating the main readme too much. we dont need to write a manual, but could do a bit better with helping guide people on what it takes to doom up.

upgraders may be able to recycle panels from their stock v2, but scratch builders will need dxf's, if they want panels to seal up their build completely

This is a very nice design, I really like it, but I downloaded and checked the CAD model and found that the skirt is not designed with a fan, how is the cooling of the motherboard done? Install the fan directly on the motherboard?

There may be many people who see the sense of top mounted dc, but dont want to bother with the panels or extrusions. we could do a small set of files for them, to create a sort of doom lite. the biggest modeling job would be a set of lower corners to sit in place of the z drives. i already modeled a version of the swing out lcd mount that works in a top skirt. someone could just print new lower corners, a second set of skirts, and be darn near off to the races on a demi-doom conversion. such would be easy to wrap in full doomcube armor, if the person ever desired. it would be a pretty easy upgrade.

self explanatory

to do list #1
the skirts currently require a washer to use common m3 screw sizes. we need to add a raised ring around each hole, or simply extrude the entire surface 1mm or so. its simple, but a lot of work with 3 sets of skirts and accessory panels.

to do list#2
the umbilical bits are scattered and haphazard to figure out. i'd love to see one solution chosen, and get them all together and in the cad. some illustrations and maybe a few photos on the git to help people understand how to do it would clear up a lot of ambiguity there. it's partly my fault for mentioning it in the readme, but i think it makes a pretty sensible part of doomcube.

the wire notch to pass wires from the 4040 to the upper chamber is a bit conservatively sized. increasing it's height will offer a roomier space for overkill wires, or fat silicone insulated wires. needs done for both styles of top doom corners
