Scratch Build – In Progress BaDassumption - Photo Shoot...

Once again, excellent work Dutch. All that polished billet Alu brings a tear to my eye. Just gorgeous..
start up your mailorder machine shop, I will be your first customer..

 

wow thats an interesting lathe type thing

how does it work

 

^^^ Its a 6" rotary table and yah, its very handy. It works by turning the top plate when you turn the handle. Here are the details.

Yep... I found 'em at WalMart in the Rubbermaid section...


j/k

 

Its alright, I know they were made, just looks weird.

 

Just found this project this morning. Holy Crap! Awesome work. Can't wait to see more.

 

Its sick what is makeable when having a mill

 

Manifold Madness...

These are a couple of black anodized manifolds from McMasterCarr - with 1/4" and 1/8" NPT threads... the small holes are milled to 7/16" here because their centers are in the wrong place for G-1/4 threads...



Then drilled to 15/32" and the side with "NPT" engraved in it is milled down to get rid of the letters...



Some 3/16" grooves are milled in with a ball end mill and the locations are centered with that cool little laser...

Using the face of the vise as a guide and lots of flipping and turning, the centers only had to be "shot" two times...



The flat space in back is where they'll mount to brackets later. All the holes are tapped to G-1/4". The corners were rounded by sticking an 1/8" round-over router bit in the mill and some careful sanding on the belt sander...



After a few rounds on the polisher... dang little buggers are hard to hold on to... but here they are with mounting screws that are too short...

1/2" barbs on the end, 3/8" coming out the side...

 

Sweet!

Where will you put this?

Petter

 

wow i guess your learning how to use that mill pretty well now then

 

They'll mount on elevated brackets on either side of the mainboard, to feed coolant to and from the CPU cooler (it has four inlets and four outlets).

 

WOW man, nice mill and another great work!

I can't wait for the next update.

 

Been lurking around (before registering) Bit-tech forums for quite some time. I would certainly love to have something like that. Could you tell me what the name of that tool is called? Thanks.

Loving the new pollished manifolds. 4 inlets and 4 outlets on a CPU cooler?!?!?!?! Holy shite in a hand basket.

 

I really need to get more sleep instead of surfing the forums at 3am to 5am every day.

Thanks..

 

You guys are an inspiration to us upcomming moders

THANKS!!

 

CPU Waterblock...

scopEDog designed and built ten very special CPU waterblocks. It has four (count 'em) G-1/4 inlets at the top and four G-1/4 outlets below. It uses a machined aluminum top cap, machined acrylic center, machined copper base and machined titanium hold-down brackets.

BaDassumption is one of the lucky 'puters to get one and she'll use two 5/16" ID lines in and two 5/16" ID lines out from the manifolds, with LED lit plugs on the other holes.

 

oh my god thats beautiful. now fit em!!

 

BaDactivity Comes Alive!!!

More from another forum friend and fellow wizard extraordinaire, Starbuck3733T, we have an update on the BaDactivity pod...









Youtube video!



Pretty cool to be getting help on this rig from all parts of the world... in this case, waterblocks from downtown Manhatten and electronics from Penn State University's Material Research Lab... can't beat that action...

 

MORE!!!!

 

Dammit YouTube is currently down

That pod and block is teh sex! What's the flow path through the block? Any chance of exploded views?
