    Well, it sounds like you’re on the right track here, I can’t fault your approach. Alodine is a very good option, specifically because it maintains electrical conductivity, which anodizing doesn’t. You should be in the clear on the reduced wear resistance (of Alodine compared to anodizing) as the enclosure shouldn’t see much wear at all. So I don’t see any concerns.

    Just a note on alodine though, use the type 2 rather than the original type 1, as the type 2 is free of toxic hexavalent chromium and uses trivalent chromium instead. Depending on the brand you buy, this type 2 product will have different names but just check to be sure that it doesn’t contain hex chrome.

    Thanks for the info! Since I’m working on a prototype that doesn’t require the accuracy SLA offers, I think I’ll go with FDM. Could you provide more detailed guidance on how to choose the right layer thickness for FDM based on different needs?
