Please help! I got no anwsers last time i posted this!?

I am good with wood/woodworking and would like to build my own case for my custom machine. i would like a second opinion on this before i buy my materials though. I was thinking of using lattice since you can see lights coming through it and you dont have to worry as much about overheating. wood would be an easier material to work with but would plastic lattice be better? do you think a case made out of 1inch heavy duty lattice would be too flimsy/weak? thanks for the opinions!
