Case Mod - In Progress Project M8 (CaseLabs M8 workstation mod) COMPLETED! Final pics on page 33

Drifted off to CNC heaven watching hat video Absolutely love that little tool changer!
We just placed an order for a 3D systems Projet MP3000 today at work so I may have to rack your brain soon Hans!

 

Never watched a video of a cnc machine before due to the abundance of better things on the internet ..... I have however just seen the end of yours

Keep the work coming Pope!

 

this is simply fantastic !

 

Thats wicked mate I expect some parts soon then

Thank you man! And I will!

Thank you mate!

Just to show how good my measures is on this thing

 

Perfecto .

 

Looking good p0Pe , sweet video too

 

A*

 

just read through all your posts on this build p0Pe and i must say it's .

subescribed and +rep

 

Sweeeeet fit! First mod I've seen of the AC rads. If you had to figure out what kind of O-rings to use, please post the specs. So that others may follow in your fresh footprints.

That zeroing setup on the tool changer is awesome. Watching the machine clip the work every time it changed position made me cringe, though. That could chip like a mofo on something like plexiglas.
The position of the rad/res has me thinking you might have them ported together with a custom plug too.

 

this is amazing you make me wish i had access to half the gear you do. keep up the amazing work dude

 

Thanks Waynio With that mod of yours one have something to live up to

Thanks I was a bit nervous getting all the dust in my camera but i think it went fine

Yay! Vacation! (I wish)

Im glad you like it And thanks!

Thanks Cheaps! I just used the o-rings from the little connectors they sell And I guess I should slow down the plunge speed when I will work with acrylic Thanks

And about porting them together - look below

Thanks man! I am also glad that I can use it

Just wanted to show you all how this thing works, as it really is not a reservoir lol.



This is how the water will flow, coming in in the bottom and exiting in the top.



And for the connections - The main reason to make this thing was because I thought it would look cool (lol) and because setting the pump and radiator together by itself would look dumb.
So how it works now is that the pump pumps the water into the, lets just call it the showoff reservoir for now, and then into the radiator. The acrylic tubes in the picture will of course be replaced with some longer ones

The main reservoir will sit in the front and occupy the three 120 mm fanslots there (did anyone say 40 mm POM?)

Stay tuned

 

Absolutely awesome matey, lots of ideas bursting out of this one ... and those rads are gorgeous your using!!!!! +rep

 

Three 120 mm. fanslots? How huge is that thing going to be? If it's going to become a waterfall res, it sounds like something you could actually die from riding down inside a wooden barrel, so tall it's going to be?

 

Thanks mate More to come hopefully!

Hehe thank you Mads!

The reservoir wont be a waterfall reservoir. That would make some un-wanted noice in the case, and my goal is absolute silence

I might post some renders of the big reservoir tonight But I am not sure that it is totally done

 

Lovely pOPe i see that the connecter line up perfect. But if u place the plexiglass window in the reservoir wont the hole thing move 4to 5mm depending how thick it is. Then i think the connector from rad to res wouldn't line up again?

 

Sharp eye you have there mate Have a +rep for that!
And yes, you are absolutely right the offset will be 4.5 mm duo to the plexi glass plate. With the fitting screwed in tight, that should be enough to cover for the offset you see in the pic below.



As you see on this picture, there is a offset on the fitting now So it should like up just right when the acrylic cover gets in place

 

Uh oh, I foresee an "Ant farm"-ish reservoir then.

 

Perfect pOPe

 

Dont get your hopes up It will be clean and simple I think

Thanks Alain

Tested the flow in the thing. Works quite well



And yes, that is a wire acting as a o-ring inthere Worked.. erm.. somewhat OK xD



And the testsetup

 

You did.... you did!!

that sounds epic dude!
