Project: Diamond Cube (for my cousin) Sponsored by: NFusion PC Cases Update 1: Starting the project, CNC, cutting up sheets Update 2: Partal Assembly, more cutting Update 3: Welding Panels, HDD & SSD Cage Update 4: Finish Hello everyone, In this project i will build Diamond Cube Case for my cousin's birthday and fill it with hardware. Diamond Cube is made completely out of 4mm and 5mm high quality acrylic sheets. Next update: starting the build, cnc, cutting,... Stay tuned. Update coming SOON
Update 1: Starting the project, CNC, cutting up sheets And so we start the project. Building Diamond Cube would be impossible without CNC. Using CNC and appropriate End Mills, we cut acrylic sheets into panels. So here it is, my main worker: and his co workers Acrlic sheets are mainly cut using 3mm Single Flute Carbide Endmill. So let the cutting begin. Cutting logo, we change from 3mm Carbide Endmill to 1,5 Carbide Endmill. Then to have some "curves" we use V-Bit. And when cutting is finished: As you can see on finished logo and panels, these Carbide Endmills are professional quality and do anaizing job (extremely clean cuts) Next update: case assebly, more cutting,...
Update 2: Partial Assembly, more cutting Today we cut more panels and welded come case panels. Diamond Case is asemmbled only with welding, no screws are holding panels together. This makes the case very strong and prevents panels from bending, when we put hardware in our case. You have to be careful welding, because if you make a mistake, you have to star all over again. Welds are so strong, because no glue is holding panels together, ou are literaly welding acrylic panels. Also finished panels are 8mm thick, with welding two 4mm panels. This also makes the case stronger and gives me more modding options. This is front panel, ready Back panel also ready for welding. Tapping 6-32 thread Front and back panels are finished Stay tuned
A good start! Some good use of the V bit cutter. What is your normal line or work if you don't mind me asking?
Thanks imersa. I was working on a CNC in a company that constructed camping cars. It didn't work out, because it just wasnt what i wanted to do. So i created NFusion PC Cases and now im doing only what i love, building cases.
Ah that is fair enough. You have some great machining skills. Working for one of the few acrylic case companies I wish you all the best mate!
Munchies? Is that still I haven't got my dinner or the thing seriously resembles a microwawe? Just kidding! pro cnc job
Update 3: Welding Panels, HDD & SSD Cage Now it is time to weld together panels. Enjoy the pictures: Welding HDD & SSD Cage Stay tuned
Update 4: Finish Hi everyone, the finish line is near. In this update we finish building Diamond Cube Case for my cousins birthday. Hardware: Motherboard: ASRock H77 Pro4-M CPU: Intel Core i3-3220 CPU Cooler: Arctic Freezer 13 GPU: XFX Radeon HD 7850 Memory: Corsair XMS3 8GB SSD: Sandisk 256GB PSU: OCZ CoreXStream 500W Case Fans: Arctic F12 TC Making sidepanel with window: All panels are held in place with magnets, so there is no need for screwdrivers. Due to lack of time, some quick cable management In the end i wish i had more time for this build (mainly cable management), had allot of other work to do. But birthdays dont wait Thank you all for following this build.
that, looks amazing! It is a litle bit parvum inspirated but more simple in its way, still keeping it fresh! Good Work...1+ for you Sir!
