Project Stealthlow

i love this project

+ vento weighs close to 15 kilos

Thanks mate is that with or without hardware? , I don't believe I seen the end of that log, it was a cool project .


Was about to post a why I can't fix it splurge of text & thought damnit I aint quitting on it yet lol, just checked what 5mm acrylic I have left over & only just have enough to remake the 1 I really messed up, the other 2 only got a light mess up so I got the 2 ready made ones put them in a tuppa ware box perfect fit & poured boiling water on them & put a lid on it & left for 5 min & simply hoped it would loosen the adhesive a little & it did, had to use a very thin blade to slowly force them open & finally got all the pieces for the 2 holders seperated so I have a lucky 2nd chance to do these holders correct with jigs which I will definately make this time

Here is the redesigned fan holder which accounts for the 4.9mm pieces so with this they should work perfect.

Did a loose fit together with a side & back panel to see what it looks like for the overall height.

Very little done but made the basic form of the extra hdd cage clamps, just need to shape the flat bars now & trim any excess material away from the stand & the hdd cages for it to work 100% correct.

Thanks billygoat yeah it's grown a bit in 23 days but the brakes have been jammed this week as I'm relying on my bro to take me to the diy store to get some jig materials, been putting it off every day with him saying tomorrow over & over lol, but hopefully I'll at least get the materials tomorrow , also just ordered a scroll saw & range of blades able to cut from 0.7mm up to 6mm aluminium & looking forward to playing with it .

Still not got to the diy store so it'll possibly be boxing day to new year before I get the materials now.

But in other news Air Cube is a MOTY nominee over on bit-tech which has made me extra happy for this time of year , there are 18 awesome mods on display & can pick 3 this year, I'm not asking for votes & didn't even vote for myself but if you like it enough compared to the other nominees then why not , but just vote for the ones you like the most, there is some really awesome mods on .

Awesome news!!! Congrats.

Tell me about it thanks msmrx57 , I thought the Air Cube coverage ended at the magazine article so it's a real nice surprise christmas present even if I don't place well.

Forgot to mention also the scrollsaw came yesterday & the blades came today, so I have some experimenting to do to see how intricate I can go with patterns on it so I can weigh up what's possible & what isn't.

Oh & merry christmas to all at TBCS

Cheers mate , not tried it out yet but most certainly will soon enough .

Woooo hoooooooo produced an update in the freezing cold .

Had to re do the optical flat mounts as I did it so the optical were sticking out by 3mm by accident (I'm blaming the cold )

So got all the bottom storage bits done, hmmm maybe not, still need to shape the flat bar clamps.

I'll work on getting it all cleaned up & brushed nicely later, just focusing on getting the basic form first, that is definitely it until I get the jig materials & on the 3rd jan I'm painting the house so that might take a few days.

Anyway it feels good to have made a little more progress .
