mayhem modz Posted November 13, 2020 Author Share Posted November 13, 2020 side panels where the air inlets will be present later everything will be clearer. I realize that the acrylic has deformed in cooling down I have to fix it with putty to keep all the lines flat I apply some fiberglass putty to fill the curved areas and then some body filler which is much smoother and workable. give a coat of primer to make sure that the surface is completely smooth and without holes. much better but I already see that areas need retouching .. I proceed with a coat of primer on the bracket frame (coolermaster) for the gpu and suspension arms after coat of anthracite gray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mayhem modz Posted November 15, 2020 Author Share Posted November 15, 2020 now it's time to install the 5 "LCD screen it will be positioned on the front and will contain the looped CYBERPUNK logo first I create the supports I do not want to see screws outside the case and I prepare the 2 guides on which the monitor will be mounted I calculate the measures and thicknesses well I found these beautiful threaded nuts, in Italy they count an eye but on aliexpress they pull them back .. they have finally arrived and therefore I put everything together I drill a 4mm hole and place the data on top with the soldering iron all I do is place it on top with the soldering iron all I do is place it on top and as if by magic the acrylic around melts all around and sinks into butter and then cools down immediately great a clean and fast job my faithful glue .. to best position the whole use as data shims and washers. there he is..

mayhem modz Posted November 17, 2020 Author Share Posted November 17, 2020 today's work, creation of the housing of the 2 SSDs positioned on the outside of the case well visible on the back the discs will also be modded and painted first step I disassemble them and prepare their surface with primer- prepare the structure .. if I have not done wrong my calculations should be like this, the graphics may change and it is temporary. I create the threaded supports for mounting the case panel .. I still have to decide well the color for the paint or metallic red or anthracite ..

mayhem modz Posted November 19, 2020 Author Share Posted November 19, 2020 I create a panel that will be led with samurai logo ... will have two functions the first to fill the inside of the case and the other to hide some cables as well as give a nice extra touch to the whole mod. I start with the construction of the panel that will follow the shape of the motherboard tray and now the support, an angled aluminum strip and I use it as a support will be fixed to the central plate of the case aluminum bends very easily but cannot do it too much otherwise it breaks, the position of the corners must be studied well and moved as little as possible ... the LEDs will be positioned on the side in the recess of the strip in the meantime, touch up on the base structure of the case and then go to paint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayhem modz Posted November 24, 2020 Author Share Posted November 24, 2020 painting application of silver (I will save you the dilution because done other times) these are all the panels that will make up the internal structure and that will decisively strengthen the whole case support panels, led door, and main panel on which the motherboard will be mounted. SSD bay finished now after months the yaiba begins to unfold and show itself in all its glory for those who have followed me in these months will feel great satisfaction in seeing the assembly some lateral supports. essentially these panels are connected to each other with threaded steel cores and thicknesses keep them in place it was very complicated to distribute all the space as everyone knows I don't use machinery and everything was hand made old school. now it's time to insert the structure inside the frame and fix everything permanently .. here is a lot of anthracite gray but it will be 40% when all the external parts in metallic red are inserted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayhem modz Posted December 2, 2020 Author Share Posted December 2, 2020 I assemble some parts of the fairing to realize I do not exclude adding other parts in acrylic to accentuate the line of the yaiba I proceed with the construction of the upper aerators is time to paint some parts, the weather is not favorable, it rains ... but I have to go on provisional assembly of fan grill I have to calculate the dimensions for the cables inside even if it seems absurd there is little space. silver finish on some parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayhem modz Posted December 10, 2020 Author Share Posted December 10, 2020 step back but necessary, I realized that I don't like the side panels anymore they are too protruding and from double pega it widens the internal space a lot and since the temple tightens ..... I decide to do them again ... youppyeee !!! proceed with the realization of the internal slats to emulate the air vents. I calculate the thicknesses of the acrylic elements well, i.e. 2 mm for the slats and 4 mm for the thicknesses, everything must fit together perfectly otherwise it's a mess. I glue everything .. it is always annoying to redo pieces and you lose a lot of time especially if you have to do them by hand like me but the result pays off in the end .. it had to be done! once completed, the slightly recessed panels (5MM) will be cut in perfect shape to give a depth effect. that's fine! as we have already understood this project even if it started with a very specific idea is a work in progress, some unforeseen parts are realized along the way as in this passage. I realize that although the fairing is beautiful it is flat, I prepare other external panels that attach to the existing panels to give a depth effect that was missing, these panels will join those already made for the external ones with air vents made previously. I use the usual procedure, all by hand, cardboard template, study of the measurements, cut with a manual hacksaw and refinish 80 gr sandpaper for smoothing and 220 gr for finishing. obviously all the panels are unique the measures are taken side by side, because this mod is made entirely by hand and the individual pieces are not mirrored. use of two-component fiberglass putty to close the cracks generated by the bending. t's time to place them to take measurements for the fixing holes. at first glance I see that they will still need to be finished. perfection is not of this world but let's try to get as close as possible .. https://forums.bit-tech.net/styles/default/xenforo/clear.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
