That's all folks !
Pedro Torres.
I just did some things:
Targilo 540 cut wheel working...
I'll try to do something like this on plexiglass:
Tomorrou i'll finish the font cover and another cuts.
See you all tomorrow,
Pedro Torres.
the plexi looks much better nice work.
Neat plexi work. I think something that would go neat would be a coolant reservoir in the plexi bubble on the side.
to get the lighted ring you should use a hole saw and a drill press, without the guide bit.
Good luck!
That's a great piece of work on the plexi. Keep up the great worklog, this is really excellent.
-Dave
First of all, sorry for delay on updates... I am a busy modder that become a lawer on free time :P
This give-me a lot of work, but it worsth the effort (did it 3 times). I liked the result too.Quote:

Thank you, for your suggestion !
I already thoke how do it and this you told is the way i found better, but, i'll do a first hole with a hole saw with his bit, than, use the first hole as a guide to others, withou de bit. When tried do directly, it 'dances' over hard plexi. :pQuote:

Really hard work sanding (hope win that simbol to hard work :P)
Results as expected, very nice:
Almost there, with motherboard screws to font don't touch plexi directly:
This was how i did the holes, but, i did it another time to get final shape:
Clorofórmio is really very easy to work, not so toxic as i imagine, and fix the plexi easly, fast and stronger, watch:
The back panel of font i told did it twice (final result):
The measurements was perfect, the fun fits very nice, about 3mm over the font components, really nice:
Tomorow i'll finish it.
See you and sorry about delay, i am a modder that become a lawer at free time :D
Thank you !
Pedro Torres.
More font case work photos :
Some materials...
To VGA WC reservoir i'll do with little ET on tube:
Lots of work, just to fit the on/off key for the outside:
Some work before finish the mounting process
Dremel router at work...
Done:
Changing the internal cooler conector...
Done:
Disapointed with an anoying protuberance wich don't let's me close the front panel correctly, so, i did a hole another font, just more longer than first:
Keep the front panel and did all the rest again (waste a lot of expensive plexi)...
And, finelly:
Tomorrow i'll post some news about the HDs and WC suport i'll fabricate in 2.4mm cristal plexiglass.
See you !
Pedro Torres.
Because of you, I must now go buy that router attachment.
i love the power supply pedro +rep wait wat is the non medical use for chlorophrom???

So, i really protected myself because of those informations. Used a gas mask, work glasses and gloves.
I used it without any of the protection i told before (except mask and glasses) and have no problems touching it, nothing happens to my skin. But, it was an excepction.
Take care if you intend to use it. Really don't know what exactly is it's toxicity, but, is better it prevented than remedied, don't you think?
Thanks for your observation !
Yeah, and the huge one is rigth on my backyard... lol Or, as Carmen Miranda used to say: Yes we have bananas... :banana:Quote:

Pedro Torres.
Power supply is pretty interesting, i like the way it looks when it is turned on. Good work.
Spent a lot of time today to find all these things:
This Dremel bit will do a V cut on acrylic to make easy to blend it.
Maybe, i would bring some news later today...
Pedro Torres.
hey pedro in that pic of the stuff u found i see there is a zieneir diode, some resistors some possibly 100uF capictors but what are those green things on the right??
This is a fantastic eletromagnetic key. I 'till don't know how to put it on schema, but i know it shifts poles (on/off function) when some eletromagnect power pass trought or next to it.Quote:

Tomorrow i'll do a video with an magnet and a multimeter to show it working... Maybe someone can help me doing the power switch i want to, using this thing...
Today i've removed the painting to start exterior works...
After about 10 minutes the paint was floppy and was easily removed...
Some water sanding...
First piece to get sanded
Just ready for a cleaner job... :D
I'll eat something, blend some plexi and come back here with news, maybe today yet
Thank you !

The fluid will travel trought the ET as a flux indicator. The little ET will move when fluid pass trought it's recipient, that will be yet iluminated with leds that oscilate lights witch HDD activity !
Small ET temporary home...
These bits are for doing a scretch on plexi to plait it. The first one is for 90 degree or more angle, the second is for 30-45 angles. And third is for borders..
Plexi bent using the two bits... steps:
About 45 degree:
Very inovative and expensive plaiting system... :D (surely it's not)
Details, a clean plait:
Tomorrow i'll use this tecnique on front panel and, maybe, start the CM cooler mod. Friday will arrive the colldrive 5 and 6 i've bought.
Thank you !
Pedro Torres.
