EMF Shielding cloth application prep

A project log for Everything but the kitchen sink cyberdeck

My cut on the iconic project build. I have the case, I have the PI, I have a vision. Let's see if I can get it done.

I'm currently working on a template pattern for the EMF shielding cloth to line the inside of the deck. This is in addition to the copper shielding that has already been applied. This consists of a contiguous piece of fabric that ensures electrical conductivity between the lid and case pieces of the shield without having to bond them with conductive tape or some other method of physically connecting the two pieces together. This layer will be applied on top of the kapton layer with a low VOC spray adhesive.

I put the 45* lines in there so I can get overlap instead of butting the edges of the cuts together, I am hoping this increases the overall shielding potential by minimizing leaks.
