GSWU Posted September 2 Author Share Posted September 2 (edited) Plug During the processing of the plug, we encountered issues with the wood cracking. After multiple attempts and adjustments to our machining strategies, we finally overcame this challenge successfully. showcase Edited September 2 by GSWU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSWU Posted September 2 Author Share Posted September 2 With this, all the fittings needed for this hardware setup have been fully processed. Time for a group photo! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSWU Posted September 4 Author Share Posted September 4 (edited) Next, we designed a reinforcement bracket specifically for vertical GPU mounting, based on the PCI-SIG specifications. Edited September 4 by GSWU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSWU Posted September 5 Author Share Posted September 5 began the processing of the GPU bracket. For the GPU bracket, we selected Taiwan rosewood, one of the harder materials among the Taiwanese woods we use. Its strength ensures reliable support for the GPU, keeping it securely in place. Additionally, the elegant reddish-brown hue of rosewood enhances the bracket’s refined aesthetic. CAM The GPU bracket manufacturing involved two key steps. First, we used CNC machining to ensure precision and alignment with the design. Afterward, we performed multiple rounds of sanding, from coarse to fine, removing tool marks and rough edges while enhancing the bracket’s tactile feel and detailed finish.

GSWU Posted September 5 Author Share Posted September 5 Since our Distro Plates already provide the same water storage function as a reservoir, we removed the extra reservoir from the pump and added a nameplate. We selected premium Calocedrus macrolepis Kurz var. formosana, which clearly displays its striking shimmering grain and has a notably high oil content. During CNC machining, the wood released a rich aroma, highlighting its exceptional quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSWU Posted September 6 Author Share Posted September 6 Next, we'll proceed with machining the main base, using the same three types of wood as we did for the top cover. We'll start by machining the corresponding grooves needed for the joinery on the three pieces of wood, marking them as necessary. To prevent the wood from warping due to changes in climate and humidity, we placed heavy weights on it before the glue fully dried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSWU Posted September 7 Author Share Posted September 7 Once the glue has fully dried and the wood is leveled, we use CNC machining to create all the structures and features of the base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
