DIY CNC machine (Originally PrintNC) running after stainless steel skirt added

Hey everyone! The CNC machine is back up and running, and I've got some updates to share. The front is all bolted down, but unfortunately, there are some problem areas to address. One spot is sticking out by about 5 mm, so I'm planning to use the TIG torch to try and pull it in and get rid of the warps. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this method! I tried using a propane torch and hammer on another area that was protruding. It helped a bit, but there's room for improvement. The chip pan turned out perfect—no warps, thanks to using chill blocks and welding in warmer weather. Unfortunately, I didn't use any backing on the problematic areas, which led to shrinking issues. For the next project, I might look into using a press to bend the stainless steel to the right angles before welding. This could help reduce gaps and warping. It would also be great to add an outer lip to the enclosure to prevent coolant spills. I also made some adjustments to the computer stand for the monitor, adding a gusset for extra rigidity. The setup shakes a bit because of a missing side panel, but the monitor is now more stable. I'm considering switching from a bronze bushing setup to a linear rail system to reduce stiction. Lastly, I'm thinking about revisiting the old clamp method for keeping the enclosure shut. The previous design worked well, and I'm leaning towards going back to it. I also noticed some tiny marks on the aluminum chunk I used to scan; I'll share a photo of it. I'm happy to have the machine operational again and look forward to creating more interesting videos.
