Journal High-Tech 90P Build

What epoxy did you use on the elbow? A quick sarch reccommended XTC-3D brush-on epoxy specifically for 3D printed parts.but it doesn't appear to be a good option for water sealing.
I used JB Weld Clearweld (mostly because I already had a couple large bottles of it). It's not NSF61 rated or anything, but its a very low contact part, and epoxy should be reasonably safe once cured. I will definitely update here if it fails.
 
Make sure you have some water leak detectors in your cabinet! They've saved me so many times...
100% I have a hardwired one on either end of the cabinet tied directly to the controller as an interlock, and will keep a wireless battery unit in there too, as well as below the overflow box as an independent check as well.
