Case Mod - In Progress The Theory of Everything. Dec. 21st. End of the world? Have some final pics. :-)

You can't find anything to tease me with?

I'll take that as a huge compliment! Thanks man!

Thanks man! I wasn't sure about the dissipation area, but after looking at it for a while now, I'm quite happy with it!

Damn... You're seriously gonna hate it when the top goes on then... :LOL:

Thanks man! :9

 

^^

But personally I like the refreshing look of it so I agree 100% with Shurika on this.

 

I registered on this forum just to subscribe to your thread, and to tell you that you sir have a gift!

 

Thank you sir!

I've come to like it quite a bit myself, so I have a sneaky suspision that I'm not gonna alter much before starting the manufacturing.

It's people like you who truly makes me happy! I'm honored! Thank you very very much!

 

I think the block looks excellent and I can't wait to see the top!

 

Thanks man! To be honest, I can't wait to see the whole thing either!

 

funny I stare at their norks ... hardly even notice if they have a nose or ... I know coat time..

 

Yup, it must be.



I got started on the block today. Well... I cut the aluminum, and milled the outsides.
I spent an hour after work to get started on the CAM portion on the block. I have to admit that it's a bit more time consuming than I had imagined. Unfortunately I have to use both 1 & 2 mm mills, so I can't really push hard.
All in all I think there's about 10 hours of milling in the block... But I hope to get started tomorrow.
I'm single again, and this time it's for good. No need to comment on that, just making the point that I have all the time in the world to get this mod done!

C ya tomorrow with an update. Keep your fingers crossed that it's a good one!

 

ooooo sexy time

 

Oh my God. I cant wait to see that block. CNC-engage (as Picard would say). XD

 

Just re read your last post... 10 hours with 1 & 2mm mills! I's say it's a good job you have no hair!!! good luck buddy

 

Thanks a lot man! Neither can I!

I agree... And to be quite honest, I think it might actually be worse than 10 hours... But hey, got nothing better to do in my spare time!

 

I got a head start on the block today. I decided to come in early and set it up. Then it could run for a couple of hours while I tended to my real job, since the mill was not going to be in use today.

More pics, less talk, I know!

Since I'm too lazy to setup the other vices, I'm only holding on to half the block. Also a reason the the not too fast progress!
But I got the outline done:



I had to do an extra run with the contour mill, since I had the spline deviation setup to an Un-Godly high number. For normal small pieces I never noticed it, so it must be a percentage and not an actual measure as I thought. But hey, I learned something today.

T'was a good day!


After the re-run:





And you know how much I love my 60 degree pointy tool:



Milled the inserts for the O-rings:



I actually got a little further, but I won't reveal that until tomorrow! Might be a long day, and I HOPE to actually finish the whole thing, if all goes well! (Don't jinx it Angel! )



That's it for now. C ya tomorrow with another update!

 

Going to be saaaweeeet, looking nice so far.

 

awww man, this is gonna be eepiiiic!!! cant wait to see the stuff you have done already

 

Epic waterblock is epic!

 

I have massive respect for your scroll saw skills! But this is taking it a step further! Thanks man!

Thanks man! I truly hope to get i done tomorrow! I made the program, and set up the tools, so I should have the back of the block done tomorrow. Gotta get to work early, and just let it rip!

YAY! Tomorrow afternoon will show if it pans out, of if I mess it up!

 

you need a new swarf brush

 

Ah, That made my day, man. I doubt you accidentally try to put that block on the wrong card.
Wimmin stuff: You will always have us.

 

That is just, (pardon the french) ...king awesome.
