Enclosure Options
It was brought to my attention that the electrical enclosure cost has gone up significantly on Amazon. I was curious if anyone knows of any other lower cost options for electrical enclosures?
Yes, I actually went with a different option I found on amazon. This enclosure comes with the internal panel so the cost would be the same as getting both the original enclosure and panel. I can also vouch for its quality.

Yes, for me the cost of the recommended one (and lead times) was too high so I sourced another one: https://www.electrical2go.co.uk/wiska-wbd-4-insulated-abs-plastic-enclosure-400x300x220-grey-ip65.html Works well but had to place the components slightly differently. Also it's a metal mounting plate, so a hint of threading to be done but works well!
