Bad day today. I killed my pump when I rewired it and swapped the ground and 12v lines :(
Re: Project: I AM IRON MAN
Just a short update today. I got the bottom plumbing done along with installing the new parts for the pump. I elected to use soft tubing to make maintenance easier as I can remove the pump with much less hassle than I could with hard tubes.
View from the side
View from the front.
The soft tubing won't be seen since the new floor of the case will be opaque.
Speaking of the new floor of the case. It's coming along nicely.
I keyed the plexi so the paint would stick nicely
I then started applying the base color for the floor. You'll see where I'm going with this soon... but for now I'll leave you an in progress shot.

Re: Project: I AM IRON MAN
Just got these pics from the Anodizing place... Can't wait to pick the parts up Saturday!
Re: Project: I AM IRON MAN
Got some more work done today!
First off the replacement pump came in
Stripped down and ready to have the wires replaced.
New wires soldered on, pump is alive!!
Also got this guy... Time for some custom decals/masking!
Masking for the next coat of paint on the floor is done... Waiting another 24 hours before I can paint again.
Sorry corsair... I love you guys, but this is an iron man build... and you're not very Iron man-ey...
Cutting time... It's fascinating to watch this thing work...
And here's the final result...
Going to do a coat of paint for the floor tomorrow... Can't wait to get my panels back to see how it's all coming together.
Re: Project: I AM IRON MAN
Took a peek inside of my high end spray booth this morning (Popcorn box)
The color turned out good, but I really hate working with gloss paints...
Re: Project: I AM IRON MAN
That pump looks exactly the same size as the "arc reactor" gizmo in his chest, lol, just sayin'
Re: Project: I AM IRON MAN
Floor is good to go. After a ton of polishing I got rid of all that orange peel
Removed the masking
And got it installed.
