When we were looking for a freezer, there were three main requirements it had to meet.
Firstly, it had to be big enough for us to be able to fit a CNC and our other hardware into, but not so big that it would be unpractical to have stationed at a lab. Utdyp
Secondly, the freezer had to be modular. To ensure a maximized use of space, the freezer could not have cooling rods in-between the different freezer drawers. This would make it impossible to find a big enough CNC. Vis med bilder
Thirdly, the freezer had to be able to reach low temperatures. Since freezers are made for storing food, not drilling prostates, they usually did not go below -18*C. However, more modern freezers often come with a super cooling function, meant for cooling the freezer more than usual after if had been opened, to help protect the food. This can often take them down to -30*C. Vis

When we were looking for a CNC we had several requirements it had to meet.
Firstly, it had to be big enough, but not too big. Milling prostate slices would require a minimum bed size of approximately ... mm X ... mm. But the CNC also has to fit inside the freezer. Here you have two options. Measure the size of your freezer and order a CNC that fits within the specifications, or buy a CNC that is modifiable and can be cut down to fit in the freezer.

Secondly, since the components are to be operating in a -30*C environment, it is important that they can withstand it. How can this be checked/What components are most important to check
