Hello everyone, I am a newbie who wants to make mods, and my English is not good, so this article is translated with google. There is no detailed record of the production process this time, and I didn't know until later that there was a forum for Bit-tech. Future works will make some detailed records and may also shoot videos. This was made in June-September last year. At first, I wanted to use Bitspower's O11 solution, but I didn't feel good, so I decided to make a solution myself.

Also I didn't know how to make a waterway board from scratch, so I started looking for tutorials, and finally I found it on the Bit-tech channel. In short, the first plan was designed.

The next step is to install the seal. 15 by wpk136_STT posted 28 Mar 2020 at 19:39 16 by wpk136_STT posted 28 Mar 2020 at 19:39 17 by wpk136_STT posted 28 Mar 2020 at 19:39 18 by wpk136_STT posted 28 Mar 2020 at 19:39 19 by wpk136_STT posted 28 Mar 2020 at 19:39 20 by wpk136_STT posted 28 Mar 2020 at 19:39 21 by wpk136_STT posted 28 Mar 2020 at 19:40 It looks a lot better this time. I removed the original iron plate from the front panel and put it on the waterway panel. Then the high temperature flame was also used to remove some of the lines processed by cnc, but it looked dirty. 22 by wpk136_STT posted 28 Mar 2020 at 19:40 23 by wpk136_STT posted 28 Mar 2020 at 19:40 24 by wpk136_STT posted 28 Mar 2020 at 19:40 25 by wpk136_STT posted 28 Mar 2020 at 19:40 26 by wpk136_STT posted 28 Mar 2020 at 19:40 The expected effect has been achieved, but the flame polishing effect is still unacceptable. I am still not satisfied with this effect, because at this time I saw this machine.

I think this is what the waterway board should look like, and this is the effect I seek! !! I watched all the evaluation videos of this machine and carefully studied the pictures on the EK official website to understand how it achieves this transparent effect! 30 by wpk136_STT posted 28 Mar 2020 at 19:40 31 by wpk136_STT posted 28 Mar 2020 at 19:44 I finally found that it uses a sandwich structure, so you do n’t see any signs of chipping, I immediately made a new model based on this process. 32 by wpk136_STT posted 28 Mar 2020 at 19:44 33 by wpk136_STT posted 28 Mar 2020 at 19:44 Take it to the processing plant immediately. 34 by wpk136_STT posted 28 Mar 2020 at 19:44 35 by wpk136_STT posted 28 Mar 2020 at 19:44 36 by wpk136_STT posted 28 Mar 2020 at 19:44 37 by wpk136_STT posted 28 Mar 2020 at 19:44 38 by wpk136_STT posted 28 Mar 2020 at 19:44 39 by wpk136_STT posted 28 Mar 2020 at 19:44 41 by wpk136_STT posted 28 Mar 2020 at 19:45 40 by wpk136_STT posted 28 Mar 2020 at 19:44 The final effect is exactly the same as the effect of EK!Thanks to Maki Role for this video that allowed me to make a waterway board from scratch.The only regret is that there is no record of taking pictures. Thanks for watching！！！
The two pictures at the beginning of the article. 1 by wpk136_STT posted 28 Mar 2020 at 19:37 2 by wpk136_STT posted 28 Mar 2020 at 19:37
Lovely. You did great. The rough look of the first try can be fixed with sandpaper and hand polishing.
The first sample was bad and hand polishing was possible, but it was still not as effective as the sandwich structure and the narrow channel was difficult to polish.
