Patrick Fan Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 3D models finished some time ago, sent to laser cutter and going to work on getting the distro plate cut out. At first glance seems like wiring and tubing are going to be a real challenge. Hopefully everything works out but these things never go as planned.

Patrick Fan Posted November 30, 2020 Author Share Posted November 30, 2020 I think I'm gonna take my existing cables, cut them down, solder, and then sleeve them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Fan Posted December 1, 2020 Author Share Posted December 1, 2020 Haha my output is going the wrong way for the pump ah well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Fan Posted December 1, 2020 Author Share Posted December 1, 2020 Photo of me tapping the holes. I think some of these holes definitely should have been made deeper so I could have longer threads. Also My taps weren’t bottoming taps so the holes that weren’t through holes were only partially threaded. Definitely learned some stuff for next time.

Patrick Fan Posted December 9, 2020 Author Share Posted December 9, 2020 Pretty productive day today. I was super excited because this was the first time I had all my parts so I got set to installing. I think tomorrow I’m going to try and get the gpu block on and install the gpu and after that I just need to start doing wiring and tubing.

Patrick Fan Posted December 10, 2020 Author Share Posted December 10, 2020 My fingers are rubbed raw, burnt, and crushed. Honestly this is the worst way to make custom cables but the most economical for me at least not counting the wasted time. I’m debating whether to do the pump and fan cables or the egg cables but I’m definitely going to do the gpu ones. I’m going to sleeve these up but looks like my paracord is on a container ship in the middle of the pacific so there’s still a long time for me to rest.

Patrick Fan Posted December 11, 2020 Author Share Posted December 11, 2020 Had to stiffen up the case by connecting the two top parts. Ideally I would get it re-made or weld an extra piece but I’m a cheapskate and I wanted to jank this one out. Behold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
