And I'm off with the third res
I really like this project, because I can easily switch between styles. Well, this one is going to be WAY different than the last one It all started with printing the designed pieces:
Stuck these pieces to a sheet of 6mm plexi:
Drilled the small holes, cut and filed the large holes:
I already cut some small pieces, these are 3mm thick. They are transparent, but the protection foil makes em look blue. Blue won't really fit this res
After that, I needed two pieces of tube, with a diameter of 30 and 80mm. These have to have exactly the same length.
With this piece, my jigsaw wasn't working properly so I cut wrong:
And I tried to fix it
Before I start glueing the pieces together, I drilled and tappen the mounting holes. Not an original way to mount them, because I used this way before. But I've got a lot of ideas on new mounting brackets, so I will makes those some day
After that I glued together the first two pieces, and for now the last two First I have to make some more parts.
This is some nice plexi, 20mm thick
Drawing out the parts. These will become the hose connections:
And after a little while, these were cut. My jigsaw is having some problems with the plexi and I overheated the blade several times
Now those cubes are still square, they're quite easy to drill. I drilled this in 1 time using a 12mm drill at 950rpm. It's quite scary to see the forces that are used to drill at that diameter
The hardest part had yet to come, I had to make these cubes fitting. First I sanded them down useing the round part of my belt sander:
These parts will be glued to the round side of the tube, so to give them the same shape as the 80mm tube I'm using a trick a friend of mine showed me once:
After sanding, they look like this
Unfortunately one of the pieces was sanded too small, so I have to remake that one. After that, I will glue them to the outer tube. Then I will tap the 12mm holes to a G1/4" thread. I ordered the tap at school, so I hope it will be here soon. Stay tuned for the rest of the ideas on this res, I am really not done yet

I'll tell you whats going on, your work is mind boggling, therefore we wish to help boggle more peoples minds, if this sounds stupid, my mind has been boggled by the sheer greatness of these res'!
I reckon we have another TribalOverkill here
Great work. I'd like to see that B-res in real life sometime.
