Hi,
Does anyone know what material the CE EMC shields are made from? (https://reprappro.com/documentation/ormerod-2/wiring/#Fitting_the_shielding)
Cheers

From the photos on the RRP site, I'd guess tinplate. Perhaps someone with an Ormerod 2 can confirm this.

It looks to be made from the same material that is used on the plates at the back of PCs where the connectors from the motherboard go.

Stainless is not a good material for EMC shielding (it does not block magnetic fields). The best material if you are concerned about radiation is mu-metal - [en.wikipedia.org]
