That came out neat. I like all the little touches like the battery button. Adding a TUF-style motherboard cover in plexi could be a neat addition.
Glad you like it ! Thanks! It was really fun too and so much detail to the build, in the end it really paid off (as that was the thing the judges were really looking at ) ! Yes, a nice cover would be cool, I keep that one in mind!
This is stunning, the skills and techniques you've used are incredible. I really love the acrylic work. I don't know if I saw it in the thread but what sort of temp are you heating it to in the oven to make it workable?
Thanks ! I used a gas oven and put it on '4' the temperature must be somewhere around 150/160 Celsius I think. But you would have to try that yourself very carefully. I've heated the plexiglas several times on different temperatures. You have to be careful you don't heat the plexiglas too much, otherwise the heat will cause bubbles. Also the amount of heat depends on the thickness of the material you work with, I've used 3mm thickness. ( I left the plexiglass in the oven for about 10 minutes after that took it out very quickly and formed it!) Hope this helps ! Thank you very much for the nice compliment ! (lets not forget my partner in crime Tenzin who has helped me so much during this project! Otherwise Polar would have been finished around christmas next year haha )
