Building a Laundry Sink Ultrasonic Cleaner

Thanks to channel sponsor, PCBWay: https://www.pcbway.com

This is my second DIY ultrasonic cleaner project. I've taken everything I've learned and put it towards building this leviathan, 42 litre (11 gallon) laundry sink ultrasonic cleaner. Why, you ask? Why not!

NOTE: To everyone who has emphasised the importance of placing grommets around the cabling going through the metal chassis, rest assured THIS HAS BEEN DONE, it just doesn't appear in the video.
