I know this is kind of a weird question but
can you use a dremel to cut cardboard? I
just procured my first dremel ever :banana:
and made a mockup of the mod i want to do
to my sidepanel on a piece of cardboard. I was
wanting to cut out what i would on the case on
the cardboard so i can use it as a stencil for when
i start my mod.

sure, sounds like a good way to pratice with it. becareful thatth e cardboard doesn't heat up to much and potentially catch fire, i would have some kind of water near by.

Well, yeah, probably, but I'm pretty sure you'd get a cleaner result just cutting with a craft knife....

just dont attempt to cut thick plastic in a tiny bathroom like i did. It melted the plastic rofl, and im running my shower and the fan to try to get rid of the burnt plastic smell =.=

It wasnt something i needed anyways, stupid mini refridge wouldnt open the back of itscase since stupid sunbeam striped the screws. It failed as a drink cooler.

now i have a nice little TEC, cut-able heatsink, and a fan to play around with.

did you put the drink in cold or warm? i think its meant to keep the a cold drink cool.

I did cool, but 2x2" TEC a heatsink and just didnt cool 4 cans of soda, even overnight. I never did use the warm side.
