DIY Radiator Stand

[Fuganater]

So I am getting a test bench from and Italian maker but it has no watercooling options. So I got to thinking about a radiator stand because the test bench is a mini test bench, no WC options.

I saw the Phobya stand and I really really liked it. Which fits 3x 3.120 rads or a 4x180 rad, but its $90. And they have a smaller one, which fits 2x 2.120 rads and its $60.

They have options which are great. You can mount your res and pump to the outside or inside of the rad stand.

So why can't I make it out of pelxi? First off I need to find someone that can laser cut a piece of pelxi that big... ideas?

I will work on a sketchup model tonight or this weekend.

Comments and advice welcomed. Cheers till then.

Doesn't TL do a lot of stuff with acrylic?

[Fuganater]

Who?

[AmEv]

TLHarrel (http://thebestcasescenario.com/forum/member.php?u=14394)

[Fuganater]

Ah. I'll see what he says once he reads this

[Aldersan]

Images didn't work for me

[TLHarrell]

Images all appear broken.

I can laser cut up to 8.5"x13" pieces, up to 3/16" thick. I can go up to 1/4", but the edge quality is not good.

[Fuganater]

They Phobya one is 430mm x 490mm so its too big.

[Stonerboy779]

They Phobya one is 430mm x 490mm so its too big.

Just design it to be made in smaller parts, say two or three parts.

[Fuganater]

I'm working on the SketchUp model now. I have a big sheet of 1/4" Orange acrylic which I think I might use and have someone make me 3x360mm gills made of 1/8" black acrylic to put on top of it. TLHarrel can you pm me about this? Cost wise.


I'll post again today as soon as the Sketchup is done.

[Fuganater]

So after a few hours in sketchup. I came up with this.

Inside the rad stand. You can see where the Rads go.

Outside the rad stand. Here you can see where the fan holes need to go.
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/Fuganater987/DIY%20Radiator%20Stand/OutsideRadiatorStand.png

I actually think I may be able to just cut the openings by hand and then just use some modders mesh to cover the holes. That will be way cheaper in the long run as I won't have to ship the plexi out and pay for a laser cutter and I can do it in 1 big piece.

More to come.

[TLHarrell]

I run $1.50 a minute for laser time, plus materials and shipping. Turns out pretty reasonable for custom parts actually. If I have the materials in stock, and it's a scrap piece, materials cost is $1.

I like the idea of the stand so far. Only issue I'd see is you should consider some extra weight in the base. Maybe a brick, or a box to pour some concrete or sand into in the base. If it were my design, I'd probably start out with a frame made of aluminum channel, sandwich the radiators inside behind some plexi panels and hang push/pull fans on the outside.

[Fuganater]

Here is how I will cut the fan holes. All I did was make an X across where the fan hole needs to be (mounting hole to hole) and then drew a 2 5/8" hole there. Delete the parts that are outside the fan hole and there you have nice rounded corners. Should be easy enough to make if I take my time.

I see what you mean. I would really like to be able to have a push/pull config contained inside the stand.

As of right now the feet are 8" long and 2" wide.

Total dimensions are :
1' 7" tall
1' 5" wide
4" deep (might make this 5 for thicker rads)

All materials are 1/4" thick acrylic.

[Stonerboy779]

Feet won't really be strong enough nor will the rest really.

Just think about water weight...

I agree with TLHarrell if you got some alu to make the frame it would be considerably stronger. I am thinking a broad thick bit of right angle channel to make the feet with some smaller for right angle for the frame. Then TLHarrell can make you up some fan grills per say and I would also say ask him to make up the pieces for a reservoir down the bottom because that would weight down the entire thing nicely while being a practical use of space.

Also I am sure shipping would be only one way and it would be flat packed too so shouldn't be a ridiculous amount. Much better than trying to get precise cuts yourself or find someone else who will do it for such a bargain price.

[Aldersan]

I would almost think of doing two panels, and encasing the rad and fans between them, having a solid block under them for weight and to hold them up, and then checking out some of TL's awesome fan grills he's coming up with :D That guy has some serious talent!

[Fuganater]

The main problem would be then finding someone to cut the alu frame. Parts + labor need to be less than $80 because thats how much the rad stand would cost me to buy.

[AmEv]

Talked to TL?

[Fuganater]

Talked to TL?

He can not do it in 1 piece as I would like.

[Fuganater]

Hmm maybe this won't happen. Materials alone I'm looking at about $53 (all 1/8" alu). So I don't think I can get this done in another $30 unless I can score a nice discount somewhere.

[Fuganater]

So I'm going back to the acrylic idea. 1/4" is more than thick enough to handle the weight of the rads. + I will have rad grills made to give it some more strength.

Here are some more pictures.

The new feet. I'm 100% sure these will keep it sanding.
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/Fuganater987/DIY%20Radiator%20Stand/feet.png

And the cutouts for the rads.
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/Fuganater987/DIY%20Radiator%20Stand/radcutouts.png

I got replies for the aluminum and just having the main pieces cut will cost over $140 so alu is out.

I just sent some emails to plexi companies to get work done. Hopefully I'll have a reply tomorrow.

Cheers till then.

[Fuganater]

So Delvie's Plastics Inc will cost me roughly $30 in materials and the do NOT have the capability to cut the main piece. I'm still waiting for a reply from Estreetplastics to see what they can do. Worst come to worst I do all the cuts myself.

[Aldersan]

You might have to, judging from the pics. Either way, that's not a bad price and the cutting wouldn't be too difficult if you took your time.

[Fuganater]

I'm gonna order a template from MNPCTECH. They have a nice laser cut reusable template.

Need to get some 3.120 rad grills made now.

[Aldersan]

Talk to TL! :D

[Fuganater]

Just sent him a PM :D

[Aldersan]

What kind of design were you thinking for this?

[Fuganater]

http://www.mnpctech.com/1radgrillheatkiller360.mnpctech.com1.jpg

I like the MNPCTECH ones. I was thinking something like that but the middle fan grill will say "fugatech-mods" maybe.

[Aldersan]

Ahh I see, should look good!

[TLHarrell]

PDF of grill designs available for you, Fuganater.

Fugatech 3x120mm Radiator Grilles- Test.pdf (Mediafire) (http://www.mediafire.com/?q0ogxmkn7g14ngl)

They're printed full scale to a 24"x36" sheet, 6 different designs. You can zoom in on them and print just what's displaying at 100% scale and see exactly what they'll be like when done. Only spent the time to trim up one of them, but you get the idea.

Edit: Pic on the next page.

[Fuganater]

Do you think it will look funny with this being vertical and not horizontal?

[TLHarrell]

Mount your radiators horizontally. Or I can certainly rotate the text. Usually if text is displayed vertically, it will read from the right.

[Fuganater]

I like the Full Open, 45 degrees. Can I see that with vertical letters?

[TLHarrell]

Will work that up as soon as I get home from breakfast. What's the distance from center to center for your radiators?

[Fuganater]

Err what? They are standard 360 radiators. Not sure what measurement you mean.

[TLHarrell]

See what you think of it this way...

[Fuganater]

I like it! When can you start? :D

[TLHarrell]

What color you want? 1/8" white glossy? PM me an email address and I'll shoot over a PDF for you to verify the measurements and be able to do any final adjustments. I can start as soon as I get the material in stock. It's a bit of travel to the supplier, but I'm checking out a local place as well.

[Fuganater]

PM sent

[Fuganater]

Next up are the mounting holes for rads and pumps.

This measurement is actually wrong. Its 1 3/16" between the 2 holes, not 1 1/4"
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/Fuganater987/DIY%20Radiator%20Stand/002.jpg

Here it is drawn on the stand. These holes match both a DDC and MCP pump. DDC pump is sideways though but I won't be using one. The holes in the middle are for the EK Res. I like theirs the best and they only need 1 mounting point per res holder.
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/Fuganater987/DIY%20Radiator%20Stand/holesforresandpump.png

I could also make holes for the DDC pump to face the correct way but as I said, I won't be using it.


More soon.

[Fuganater]

Not much progress yet but I got my fans in.

18 Yate Loon High Speed fans

http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/Fuganater987/DIY%20Radiator%20Stand/DSC01184.jpg

Testing the first batch.
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/Fuganater987/DIY%20Radiator%20Stand/DSC01185.jpg

They all work!
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/Fuganater987/DIY%20Radiator%20Stand/DSC01186.jpg

2nd batch.
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/Fuganater987/DIY%20Radiator%20Stand/DSC01189.jpg

All good agin.
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/Fuganater987/DIY%20Radiator%20Stand/DSC01187.jpg

Wiring is a mess. I will be removing the molex connector plugs because I don't need them with the fan bus'.
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/Fuganater987/DIY%20Radiator%20Stand/DSC01188.jpg


Now I'm just waiting on the fan grills to arrive and for my acrylic supplier to respond back about laser cutting the parts.


Cheers till then.

[AmEv]

TL said he might be shipping them soon :whistler:

Don't know for sure.

[TLHarrell]

Shipping tomorrow at noon. Automated post machine wouldn't allow me to send it to a base address without having to stand in line to see a real person first. No real people were available.

[Fuganater]

Probably because you have to do a customs form.

[TLHarrell]

The automated stamp machine is literally the bane of my existence. Every time I go in, I spend time trying to do what I need to do. It jerks me around, then finally tells me it cannot be done. Haven't actually completed a single transaction with it in the last 5 years. Usually, while I fiddle with it, the line goes from 3 people to 20 and I get stuck waiting half an hour to buy that single 1 cent make up stamp.

[AmEv]

Our post office did away with the automatic stamp machine. All that's left is a sudden hole in the wall, a 120v plug, and an Ethernet port.

[Fuganater]

Well I'm in the airport heading back home. I'll try and snap some pictures before I leave again on Friday.

[Fuganater]

I have been gone for several months now but I'm only back for a few days. Since I was gone I received a few pieces of plexi, not the whole order, but some.

The custom made rad grills.
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/Fuganater987/DIY%20Radiator%20Stand/DSC01631.jpg


http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/Fuganater987/DIY%20Radiator%20Stand/DSC01632.jpg

The sides and feet.
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/Fuganater987/DIY%20Radiator%20Stand/DSC01634.jpg

The holes line up perfectly!
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/Fuganater987/DIY%20Radiator%20Stand/DSC01635.jpg

http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/Fuganater987/DIY%20Radiator%20Stand/DSC01637.jpg

The holes in the feet and the sides are for hoses to go through or for some Koolance Quick Disconnects. I have the threaded kind so I can actually mount them into these holes.

That's it for now. I'm going on vacation and I hope to have the rest of the plexi when I return so I can really get started on this.

Cheers till then.

[TLHarrell]

Be very careful if you're tapping the holes. I absolutely HATE tapping in acrylic. Sounds awful, chips easily.

Can't wait to see this radiator stand come together.

[Fuganater]

Finally got in the last 2 pieces of acrylic in! My order was not fully filled 2 months ago and since I have been gone I was not able to receive the pieces.
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/Fuganater987/DIY%20Radiator%20Stand/DSC02003.jpg

I wasted no time and started drafting up the design on the main sheet.
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/Fuganater987/DIY%20Radiator%20Stand/DSC02005.jpg

In order to make sure I had the holes lined up perfectly, I used a 360 rad template that I bought from MNPCTECH. This proved to be an awesome investment and I recommend it to anyone that is going to be making radiator cutouts.
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/Fuganater987/DIY%20Radiator%20Stand/DSC02016.jpg

2 down and 1 to go!
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/Fuganater987/DIY%20Radiator%20Stand/DSC02009.jpg

I lined the rads up on the acrylic to make sure I had enough clearance between them and on the sides.
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/Fuganater987/DIY%20Radiator%20Stand/DSC02006.jpg

http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/Fuganater987/DIY%20Radiator%20Stand/DSC02007.jpg

And finally the 3rd done.
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/Fuganater987/DIY%20Radiator%20Stand/DSC02010.jpg

Next I drilled the holes for the screws. I did this first because I was afraid that the acrylic would crack if I tried to drill after I made all the cuts.
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/Fuganater987/DIY%20Radiator%20Stand/DSC02011.jpg

Then I installed the fan grills, fans and rads to make sure everything lined up perfectly. And it did!
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/Fuganater987/DIY%20Radiator%20Stand/DSC02012.jpg

http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/Fuganater987/DIY%20Radiator%20Stand/DSC02013.jpg

Here is what it will look like with the sides on.
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/Fuganater987/DIY%20Radiator%20Stand/DSC02014.jpg

At the bottom of the sides, you can see the 2 holes for the cables and tubing. I actually need to cut this layer out but more on that in my next update.
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/Fuganater987/DIY%20Radiator%20Stand/DSC02015.jpg

Hopefully tomorrow I will be doing all the cutting and gluing. I may get this done by Sunday!!

Cheers till next time,

Fuga

[Fuganater]

Time to cut, but first, I had to drill a bunch of 1/4" holes in the pattern so that I could fit my jigsaw in.
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/Fuganater987/DIY%20Radiator%20Stand/DSC02017.jpg

Took me about an hour to cut all 3 holes.
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/Fuganater987/DIY%20Radiator%20Stand/DSC02018.jpg

Here are the markings I made on the sides. I thought the threaded quick disconnects had a larger thread but they don't. So I have to cut away some of the side so that they will fit. I did it on both sides just in case I change something up one day.
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/Fuganater987/DIY%20Radiator%20Stand/DSC02019.jpg

http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/Fuganater987/DIY%20Radiator%20Stand/DSC02020.jpg

Both sides cut.
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/Fuganater987/DIY%20Radiator%20Stand/DSC02021.jpg

Now its time for glue!
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/Fuganater987/DIY%20Radiator%20Stand/DSC02022.jpg

Top glued on. I let it sit for a bit before doing more.
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/Fuganater987/DIY%20Radiator%20Stand/DSC02023.jpg

One side.
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/Fuganater987/DIY%20Radiator%20Stand/DSC02024.jpg

2nd side.
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/Fuganater987/DIY%20Radiator%20Stand/DSC02025.jpg

All done!
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/Fuganater987/DIY%20Radiator%20Stand/DSC02026.jpg

Now to start attaching the rads. 2 done
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/Fuganater987/DIY%20Radiator%20Stand/DSC02028.jpg

All 3 attached! Looks great
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/Fuganater987/DIY%20Radiator%20Stand/DSC02029.jpg

http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/Fuganater987/DIY%20Radiator%20Stand/DSC02030.jpg

Here are the threaded Koolance quick disconnects that I'm using.
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/Fuganater987/DIY%20Radiator%20Stand/DSC02031.jpg

Next I installed all the fans to the backs of the rads.
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/Fuganater987/DIY%20Radiator%20Stand/DSC02032.jpg

Then the tubing. I'm using Koolance rotary 90 degree fittings, Bitspower 1/2" barbs and 7/16" tubing.
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/Fuganater987/DIY%20Radiator%20Stand/DSC02033.jpg

Next I made a ~5' long power cable for the fans. I just threw on some old cheap black sleeving to keep the wires neat.
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/Fuganater987/DIY%20Radiator%20Stand/DSC02034.jpg

Lastly, I leak tested the system for a few hours. No leaks so I guess its good!
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/Fuganater987/DIY%20Radiator%20Stand/DSC02035.jpg


I'm pretty sure I'm going to carbon fiber the black. Its shiny and shows dirt and fingerprints and I don't like that. I need to order some today.

Until next time,

Fuga

[TLHarrell]

Looks sweet. Glad to see those grilles in place.

[Fuganater]

Not a big update. Got the fan filters in and I'm still waiting on the 3M Carbon Fiber to arrive.

http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/Fuganater987/DIY%20Radiator%20Stand/DSC02197.jpg

Got them all installed.
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/Fuganater987/DIY%20Radiator%20Stand/DSC02198.jpg


As soon as the Carbon Fiber arrives I'll be done with this.

Cheers till then,

Fuga

[Fuganater]

I made the [H] front page!

http://www.hardocp.com/news/2012/07/18/diy_radiator_stand

I did a few things.

Installed a BP crystal Link (smallest one) between 2 of the rads to elimate the tubing.

http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/Fuganater987/DIY%20Radiator%20Stand/DSC02201.jpg

Then I leak tested for about 14 hours. No leaks so its a win! I ordered some more SLI fittings so I can do it between the other 2 rads.
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/Fuganater987/DIY%20Radiator%20Stand/DSC02200.jpg

This is ugly and restrictive!!
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/Fuganater987/DIY%20Radiator%20Stand/DSC02202.jpg

I need to find a way to hook the rads up to the inlet in an effective way. I can't really use tubing (ideal) because of the angle. So I came up with this solution.

D-Plug, 50mm extension, 90 degree crystal fitting and a SLI fitting I had laying around. Its easy to take appart and looks way better.
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/Fuganater987/DIY%20Radiator%20Stand/DSC02209.jpg

Next I installed a pump on the side to help out. I had an extra DDC3.25 and an EK top so it works way better than the stock top. I'm thinking of putting dual pumps on this with a heatkiller pump top but I have not decided yet. Need to do some testing first.
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/Fuganater987/DIY%20Radiator%20Stand/DSC02207.jpg

Here is how the tubing looks right now. The loop is where the next BP SLI fitting will go.
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/Fuganater987/DIY%20Radiator%20Stand/DSC02208.jpg

I'm gonna work on connecting the pump to the fan bus since its all 12V. I'll have another update tomorrow assuming I get some stuff in the mail today.


Cheers till then,

Fuga

[Fuganater]

Time to finish up!!

Got my Carbon Fiber!
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/Fuganater987/DIY%20Radiator%20Stand/DSC02211.jpg

I took off all the rad grills.http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/Fuganater987/DIY%20Radiator%20Stand/DSC02212.jpg

All done. (No mid way progress pics because this was very time consuming.
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/Fuganater987/DIY%20Radiator%20Stand/DSC02330.jpg

I also added CF to hide the fan labels.
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/Fuganater987/DIY%20Radiator%20Stand/DSC02329.jpg

I got the last SLI fittings that I needed. so Now the connections look super clean.
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/Fuganater987/DIY%20Radiator%20Stand/DSC02324.jpg

Then I decided to add a res to the build so that the pump would never run dry.
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/Fuganater987/DIY%20Radiator%20Stand/DSC02322.jpg

For some reason this setup didn't feed the pump enough so I changed it up. Lucklly I have lots of extra fittings now a days.

A special thanks goes out to Thomas Harrell of White Light Laser who came up with the design for the radiator grills and also who cut them for me. You can visit his Etsy shop here (http://www.etsy.com/shop/WhiteLightLaser?ref=top_trail).

just personally I recon the pump and pipes out of the res should be enclosed in another box, just to make the whole thing seem that much more seemless and magical.

Good work the carbon fiber finish looks great :D

Thanks. I wanted the tubing to look cleaner but oh well. I didn't want the pump hidden in the first place.
