there was text in the original drawing i guess they didnt convert to dxf
yes the arrows are the fans and flow direction.
the power supply connections are on the top
the controller connections are on the top facing you

and here is a pic of the motor with extension wires all done im going to get a longer piece of heat shrink to cover the wires all the down to the motors

yes that looks good everything will fit fine in your enclosure
and the wiring looks good too
ready to test the wires?

I will be ready later on I have to go out now but will sign out when in back

The fans will have to be offset will that be ok?

I wanted to make a plexiglass base in the bottom of the enclosure then secure it to the enclosure And mount everything to it using standoff nuts would that work?

sounds like it would work if there is clearance for the wiring coming out of the controllers
wouldnt the plate the motherboard was on work?

I took it out to make room

mgp
it would be better if everything is mounted to metal because the metal will be what all the shield wires ( bare wire ) connect to and the equipment ground will connect to it also ( the green wire from the power plug 110v connector )
the only thing that needs to be mounted on standoffs is the breakout board
the power supply and controllers mount to the metal plate
move the power supply and controllers to the far back of the case as possible the rear fan can be mounted outside if needed. we want the controllers back from the front fan. ( we dont want motor interference ) and thats why all wires inside the enclosure are shielded.
the fans do not have to be directly across from each other
the motor plugs should come out the back away from the fans
the parallel cable and usb cables should come out the back away from the power cord connection ( 110v ).
