Nice to see the project nearing completion. It is a very neat build with a lot of thought about it.

Kind regards

James,

Wow! A lot of good things came together in this update. Your fan forced air flow, senor and camera mount looks great. I really like all the slide-in compartments that you built into the part. I look forward to seeing the final install into the hood.

Great work!

Gene

Hi James,

I think you did an excellent job with your hood! It is definitely better than most commercially available ones, and packed with features. I like the idea of using air flow to keep the cameras clean. It will be interesting to see how the GridEye will react to the air flow, as I had problems with temperature reading fluctuations when I tried using the sensor and there was a direct air flow hitting it. Looking forward to see the hood at work :-).

P.S: I'm being nosy here, but could I ask how much the final bill for the hood amounts to (obviuosly just for the parts and the metal work)
