Case Mod - In Progress Akasa Eclipse-62 modding

drawing




Cutting discs

 

the cut








but unfinished hehehe


finished

 

Nice design, looks a bit jagged still. Or it needs respraying.

 

tks dute, yes it was iregular, but after sanded and polished, was much better....

 

I dont know why but I thought that design was going to be on the mobo tray, think that would be possible while keeping the strength to hold the components and any cooling?

Just an idea.

 

I loved the akasa eclipse when it came out, infact I done this to the front of mine at the time... (whats on the LCD gives you and idea of how long ago this was)

 

for now I will not make changes in the mobo tray, I am preparing for this mod Campus Party Brazil happens now 02/Feb days and will not allow time to change how I wish

nice work dude, akasa eclipse is a great case




this is the new design I'll do, I'll cut it in the slide panel (behind the mobo)



let's start cutting...

 

verry nice!

Love the cut-outs.

 

tks dude


is kind of weird because the court is unfinished, then will get prettier

















this rose to finish this part, to take the burrs


and here with a R$1 (it has the same size as a 2 euros coin) coin to give some idea of ​​the size of cuts

 

some details of the slide painel

 

I'm looking for pink UV plexiglass, but I'm not having success ... so I decided to try to do my own plexi pink = D

this is the powdered resin:

This resin is used in the manufacture of orthodontic appliances ... the colors are lime green and pink UV ... I'll use the pink

The application process is very fast, as I need the hands free, I did not take photos

molds:


is ready, now is cook for 2 hours ...


some time later ...

 

Loving the rose artwork, must have taken ages to cut it all out. what was the tool you were using for the small cut outs.

 

are u kidding me :|

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn!

 

[/QUOTE]

what kind of bit is that?

 

I don't know. You could have just told him....

Anyway, great design, love it!

 

Nice artwork.

 

Wow, fantastic work! I'm still amazed you "made your own plexi"!

+rep & Sub'd

 

Absolutely stunning piece of work. I like to see new ideas, it's easy to incorperate overs ideas in your own work so my congratulations as I haven't seen this before, well done.

 

I am completely blown away by the cut out work! That rose is freakin sweet!
