what are those two rectangle boxes on the bottom left of your 1st picture?
are those terminal strips?
btw - love the probe mount

The rules are simple to follow.
Here is a dual PID that I built for my melting pot and hot plate.

Yes, those are terminal strips. One for Line, the other for Neutral. It was getting a bit crowded in my little enclosure so to free up some space, I fab’ed an aluminum L bracket so they could mount on their sides.

Nice Fralic. What are the one amp fuses used for?

I know it most likely doesn't matter, but i was taught the line goes in on term 1 and load on term 2.
The SSR's I have don't specify but the ones I had back in the early 2000's did.
His fuses.
Each PID has a 1 amp fuse
Each Output has a 10 amp fuse

It's pretty hard to find fuses under 1 Amp unless you get fancy or don't mind paying a lot; A PID that goes south would likely blow a 1A fuse pretty fast. (Or the PID will explode, thus saving the expensive fuse from being blown.) You could use a polyswitch (acts as a self-resetting breaker, though a disabled friend, Roy, had some excitement when his 3d printer's control board had one go up in flames, setting everything on fire in the wiring harness of his 3d printer. He was a smart guy & had a couple electronics type fire extinguishers on hand fortunately.)
You can find electronics parts if you want other parts at findchips.com or just look at Digikey, Mouser, Element 14 / Newark, or oh so many others (but in the US those are the big 3 really.)
And safety tip - I would suggest a fire extinguisher on your reloading bench, PLEASE; Maybe one for electrical fires, like Roy had, plus a regular Dry Chem one, just because fires suck, near reloading components or human beings!
Used a larger box for easier build access. Front panel comes off so made it super easy to add components.
