"I thought we were at first taking about modular ovens as in normal sized oven for normal parts, valve covers, wheels, bike frames maybe, etc... and the reason to be modular was when larger parts needed done at times like engines or frames, etc... and since the large parts don't need done often then no reason to waste the space permanently for an oven that large. This would make sense. I need an oven 20'x 4'x7' or so if I want to do a truck or van frame, but that will be rare I do those, probably just my own so maybe 2 or 3 will ever be done? So a modular would work well when I need it maybe once a year. Also as I plan it out, I could assemble 2 or 3 different size ovens at once from the panels for several different parts. Like do small parts in oven one, engine block in oven 2, bike frame in oven 3, all would need various bake times perhaps and I would have extra ovens as needed. Also if powders need different cure temps, say I want High temp coatings for headers in an oven, may not need same oven temps and time as for valve covers, so just set up an extra oven and run 2 at once. Many reasons modular might work well this way if built well and easy to assemble and run as needed."

this part of what you said IS what i was talking about. to save the argument lets forget the left and right side thing. lets focus on the part that i quoted from you. that was the original focus of this thread. the big problem is what a panel needs to look like. i would prefer 1 panel design that can work anyplace in the oven, the only difference would be that some have heat elements in them, or lights, or windows, or temp probes, ect. the first goal is a panel design, later add the required equipment (i.e. heat elements/ temp probe). after a sucessfull design then we could add extras (lights/ windows/ect)
