    What fluids/cutting compounds did you use when you used your router on this acrylic case?

    Fluids? Compounds? Erm, I never used any:worried:
    I used a 1/4" straight bit for straight cuts, cutting in two passes at a high speed and it didn't burn/melt the acrylic at all. Make sure your bits are sharp, ie new. I found it only melted when tapping holes by hand!
    And for everyone else, don't expect any updates in the next month or so coz my new toy is all I'm interested in at the mo! Sorry:hehe:

    Oh, I just saw on the very first picture some fluids next to the router, so I thought you might have used them to cool the acrylic to prevent it melting.

    Thanks.

    SteveyG, fluids in the first pic are the acrylic adhesive and hardener, easy mistake!
    Altron, erm, I can't remember, it's been soooo long! You can do the math, ok?!
    two side panels @ 450mmx450mm
    top and base @ 220mmx462mm
    front and back @ 462mmx462mm
    + enough for reservoir, psu and cd cage @ 462mmx600?
    I'm only guessing, but I think that's close enough.

    No, no fans. I have 120mm input from the top and the 80mm out from the PSU. The pci slot covers will provide any other ventilation needed. The case will eventually be entirely watercooled.
    As for everyone else, the project is on hold prolly until the winter, so please don't keep on.

    Ok dudes, maybe I'll give it a shot next week. i want to find out if my machine will cut copper, so I'll have a go at designing a nice manifold/hard drive cooler. Don't expect miracles though!:thumb:
