    14 March Update

    Here we are again, stayed after work for a few hours to get this update together.

    The main focus for this update was to make a custom reservoir. We decided to do this for a number of reasons. Mainly because they look amazing but also because we are going to be pretty tight for space once we do a double loop.

    So we started by cutting a test piece of 5mm acrylic. The same size as the full reservoir to ensure a good fit:

    A little later and the tool paths are set:

    Onto the milling. Tools for the job, 2mm & 6mm:

    Lots of mess when milling thick acrylic:

    A little more cutting:

    After a little cleaning down here is the finished item. We are really happy with results. After the o ring is installed and a little tapping we are in business:

    Next the Gentle Typhoon fans are installed in the front:

    Fitting really nice:

    Then we cut the test top panel for the case. The top section for the case will be two layers. The first is this 5mm frosted clear. This also doubles as the lid to the reservoir. We went with this to match the frosted EK blocks and add a somewhat gray tone to the build:

    Thanks again for reading. Can't wait to see fluid in this thing.
    Next you can expect the second layer to the top & the top chamber.

    Thanks for reading :rock:

    Haha I don't know how you would have seen this coming ;)

    Thats the way to do it! Can't wait to pop some fluid in there.

    Nailed it! I'm happy with parts being awesome and the rest being OK! ;D

    Thanks man!

    I suppose it may have been missed as we are flying through. Our deadline for the build is next Friday as I will be using it at the iSeries event.
    I am indeed one of the Parvum team!

    Thank you man.

    I'm really stoked on it. Was nice to break up the 45 angles of the case with a little curve.

    Thanks for the kind words. Makes it super easy to build with the extra space in the back!
