    Hi Guys, I am looking to build myself a CNC Enclosure. for my Cbeam Machine.

    Its a Box in a Box design. made up of 5 layers

    Layer 1 - Outer Most = 1/2" MDF
    Layer 2 = 1/2" Drywall
    Layer 3 - Middle = 1" Foam or Insulation
    Layer 4 = 1/2" Drywall
    Layer 5 - Inner Most = 1/2" MDF

    Each layer would be glued togethor using GreenGlue sound adhesive

    Im looking for suggestions on what to use to fill the 1" gap in middle.
    ideas like a Rug carpet with Rubber backing, or Cotton insulation, EVA Foam Panels. Rubber Floor Matts

    not sure what would be the best DIY cheap solution

    Cost effectiveness possibly old cotton/denim material you can recycle from home or surplus clothes store. I plan to build a CNC enclosure in future similar to what you describe with inner/outer wall and interior lining. I picked up a batt of rock wool wall insulation on sale to use —it is supposed to have an excellent sone rating for wall sound reduction. Look up “some ratings” for building materials as a guide —installation is key.
