Ok, I had a play with these High impact polystyrene sheet and did my first enclosure!!
As you can see... it's really ugly:
It makes me think about these bodge jobs on cars:

I didn't really plan for it and litterally wrapped the sheet to the charger. Obviously, it's not very clean and I definitely need to plan properly how I want to shell this charger.
Haha, the bolts really don't look nice on it! Maybe spray the bolt on white?
Just left enough space to keep it the extinguisher safe
What I like about these HIPS:
- Very very easy to work with
- I can cut them with a pair of scissor or a cutter
- I can thermo form them so easily. Just get the heat gun on the area I want it to bent and that's it. No bubbles like acrylic or polycarbonate!
What I still need to do:
- Add the mini-screwdriver to change the voltage and amperage manually.
- Make better rectangular holes. I started with my drill and finished with the small needle file but I think I still don't have the skills
- Add the stress release grommets.. but not sure how it would fit rectangular holes
- Dust proof it
- Add the ground wire
- Make it look more pretty. May have to sand it and paint the bolt?
I'm not very proud of my first enclosure, and will probably recreate a new once I've finished my todo list because this one is shameful lol
