Scratch Build – In Progress Project : Alu Blue [Update: 26 Feb] Detail Work

I finaly got the dvd bracket ready

Its designed to hold the dvd player and the harddisks!!
4 harddisk now, designed for 6! EXCLUDING the SSD's
I will later show what the harddrive rack will look like
It has to be very firm therefore i used 3 mm strip to make a U
That will be connected to a support beam of 20x40mm and 2mm thick

And made the cut out for the dvd drawer so it CAN open
























AND I got a call that my laser cutting work is ready for pickup
Only no time to pick it up tomorow

Still working hard on the part list to order

Thats it for now, and thnx for taking a look

 

Today I picked up my lasercutting work
It looks realy nice
I already got a photo of the package, tomorrow I make lovely pictures of the unique parts



You can already see one side of the hdd rack
More pictures tomorow (need some time to take them and have other things to do now)

Stay put

Nice looking honeycombs and the bracket for the hdd's!
Lasercutting is well done!

 

Thnx guys

The honeycomb has certainly become beautiful
It's always the question if you get exactly what you thoughts were

There is only one small problem
I had to send the camera lens to the dealer because it has a bug in it
That was visible in the pictures
But fortunately I was able to borrow a lens from a friend

thnx timtom

AND update comming soon

 

I started working on the platework

Firts to do is placing the lines where to cut
Starting with the top

how much did it cost you to do that amount of laser cutting work?

 

Very nice! I like this mod!

 

thnx for the nice comments all

@Nitrixflare

there was a company that €770! asked (I asked if they were going to make it gold )
for a 2mm thick aluminum plate 40x60cm

but also found one that wanted to make it for €90

but when I buy the items in the shop:
2x 3x120 grill €40
1x120 Grill €10
6 bay hdd rack ?€30 / €40?
and mobo plate

also €90 or something

 

And have a nice biketour to Haarlem

I definitly like the way it turned out!

 

I love the metal work here, it's given me some god ideas for my next mod.

 

I've lately been very busy with other things
but i have time to move on now

Stay put

 

Awesome Mod M8, hope to see more updates soon, you've given me some pointers to my future scratch-build

 

Whit the outside done the inside to come

first with a jigsaw and then with a file
took me some time to get it straight



















Here its done

Looks good



Next thing to do:
Cutting the side panels in- and outside then bending them

Hope you like it

 

Talk about ask and you shall recieve Coming along really good. So good it actually annoys me Not because I'm jealous (which I actually am) but because I know I have a house to renovate before my workshop is done and I can make something awesome

 

I hope you know what time it is... Update time!
