Scratch Build – In Progress HT1

Hi together.
May I announce my new projekt: HT1
For a start the SkechUp drafts.

First the profile


Than the width.


I need this square to place...


... the 10mm thick sidepanal.


This squares are for ...


... the position of the feet.


After a little pulling


Now comes the color. First the orange illuminated Plexi.


Than the black Aluminium.


Than build a Group...


After the first top...


...comes the duplicated group.


With some "Help-Lines"...



...I draw the rotary knobs.


Again pull to the right depth


More "Help-Lines"...


...and the "Audio & Cooling Section" is done.


Again "Help-Lines" in the "PC Section"


Done

 

Nice concept and a good color choice. If I look at your other projects then I have to say that this one is a "must" to watch

Sure ! Black and yellow are pretty together ! I love the "double-deck".
Good luck !

Montspy.

 

"double-deck" rulez
What about size and hardware?!

 

Here you see the size:


The hardware? I think it is to early for that.

 

Thanks
is very big ...like two mid-tower one above the other (on the higer side of course ) !

 

The HT1 project continues...

This is the donator:







The back panel
The parts in the red marks will not be used.

 

Today only a little Update:

The matirial arrived today.
Maybe tomorrow I can bend the plates in the final contour.

The are 2,5 mm thick, 430mm wide and 740mm high.
With the panels one the side it will be nearly 44cm. That is the same wide the actual Marantz amplifiers have.



I will also cool the HT1 with Water. Therefore a big THANK YOU to my new sponsors:

awesome

 

Very cool looking

 

pretty cooled
Congratulations for you to get the sponsors which btw are very good sponsors

 

Today the plates meet the...


... the sheet metal folder.


First a small edge< 20°
^

4 times


The small edge is to hold a 20mm rod in place.


For some extra safety I use a upper beam with some flat steel welded on the edge


Than comes the final bending.


Done

 

Great idea, congratulations!!!!

 

Very nice concept man and work so far. Your sponsors links are connected to your photo uploader. If you need help to do it right pm me and I will tell you how to do it! Mod on man

 

Today I strip down the donator.

Here the original Case:


This are the part I need


The first Contact with the HT1 Case. A lot of space.

 

Just now I placed the Hardware for a first fitting.
The board will be a different and the Power-Supply is much to big,
but the are good enough to mark the positions.




To drill the mounting holes i use some locking pliers.


I drill the first holes with a normal drill.
Closer to the wall I use the Dremel.


To cut the opening for the the Power-Supply I use an part from a old case.


For a save position I first bolt the plate in place.
Now I can make the marks for the opening.


The actual Status:

 

Cool, its like PC seperates ( with added actual seperates gubbins) . Looking good so far

 

Freakin awesome. Sub'd

 

The cut-outs for the PS and the I/O panel are almost ready.
The next step is to close the last gaps between the panel and the new case.

This is the actual status:

 

Today I only work with a little putty to close the last gaps.
Later more.
