Sorry to hear about everything Langer. I have been following this log for sometime now but only just became a member. You are doing some amazing work! Keep it up!
So long with no info.... I need my fix man :)
I've just not yet completed anything more to reveal just yet.
I want to complete the chassis before going any further and much of that work is being done by an outside party. I'm having a hard time getting people to follow-up on their word.
Allow me to elaborate.
-I'm trying to get this work done for free - or at least as close to as possible.
-There is several thousand bucks worth of machine time alone in my required parts, and I don't want to pay that.
-My Dad offered to cut the parts for me using his carbon fiber companies waterjet machines in his California based plant. (the of his factories outside China with waterjets)
-It took Dad about 6-weeks to actually get on it to the point where notable progress is being made.
-Unfortunately the General Manager of the Cali plant doesn't want to do any personal jobs - which I can respect because it's unfair that the big-boss' kid should get to use the production equipment.
-I'm in the process of negotiating with the California GM, and also with another local source who is offering me a really great price (hopefully he will stand by it... I've encountered several other who have not).
Long story short... I keep meeting asshole machinists that offer a price - then delay after delay come up with a ludicrous price. This process has added months of delays unfortunately.
Sorry to hear about your difficulties with finding a good machinest, I'm sure you will eventually ;).
at least you get responses :) bl tho
that is sad to hear langer. but look at it this way. you still pretty much have an awesome computer the way it is :)
It's always frustrating to have to wait for someone else to do something you need done. I had an eBay seller kicked off from under me AFTER I ordered a SSHD. Now I have to fight eBay and PayPal to get that money back. Sometimes the real world is just hell bent on creating problems.
But you do have your still!:banana:

In the spirit of progress, I decided to change my fittings and tubing style and configuration to accommodate the new reservoirs.
I made a "small" AquaTuning.de order just now:
and as I mentioned I also have 2 of these puppies en-route as well...
With special thanks to Shoggy from Aquacomputer for giving me the heads up on their re-release (I pleaded with him several months back for a pair of these reservoirs... so I'm elated to see them available again).
More stuff to fit into this already jam packed case. I may only be able to fit one of these reservoirs into Prometheus... but not a big deal I'll be happy to have a spare "copperTube" in my collection of parts.

Some of you may be wondering why I don't just use my router for all the cutting?
Answer - the router is old and out of alignment and one of the motors is burned out... that is until last week. An engineer friend of mine had experience with such things so I put him to work.
I'll be cutting my own parts again - but this time with a capable machine.
Before it was unlevel - didn't travel smoothly - a motor was burned out - and it was a decade out of service... this time it's all calibrated and ready to go and I actually have time allocated to finishing.
I have everything for this project complete and waiting... once I get the actual structural elements done it wont be more than a week to + build + plug in + test + tweak + cry.
Today I spent the afternoon in the shop preparing my drawings and the machine for cutting. I'll be going back to the shop Monday/Tuesday to complete cutting of the FINAL carbon parts.
TUESDAY there will be much progress. Stay tuned until then. ;)
lol we want more pics :P
