TribalOVERKILL's LiquiD EVOLUTION

Sweet. These things are gonna rule. Man, those blades you've already cut out look symmetrical too, like they were cast that way. Props to you, Tribal. As always.

 

Thanks man Nice Eye Of Ra,...

 

You really need to drop a coin in some of those pictures to remind people of the crazyass tolerances you are working within. This is plastic surgery.(Oh, lord! what a horrible pun.)

I see you topped me again for crazy and dangerous use of a power tool.

 

Plastic surgery! LOL. You are right through. I will through in some coins etc so you guyz have a better idea of what I am working with here.

 

...now I can't wait to see one with the blades in it finished
and spinning (small video maybe).........

Started the forming jig but I'm not done yet. I have off tonight and tomorrow and monday too. So I'm goign to back after this to finish these props. I'm goign to make 2 aluminum versions of the prop too so an test the jig.

Nov-02-2007

Bought some pine. Cut the end at 45 degrees.


Then I cut them again like this,... another 45 degree cut.


Put them together and this is what you get,...



Going to make two just in case. These are the bottom pieces.


These are the top pieces. The second 45 cut is in the opposite direction to counter the 45 of the bottom pieces. They needed an extra cut too.


This is how they fit together.


This is how I made the extra cut. A simple jig to hold the little pieces.


Nice.


I have to sand the pieces down and then glue them to other piece of wood. The top and bottom once done will be about 2" thick. You'll see,... its not done.

 

What is this?! First master in acrylic, now wood?!

 

LOL,... dont forget aluminum! I have no boundries,... wait till I start using fiberglass and carbonfiber TaleGunner would be proud

 

lol aluminum too!

 

I had some free time so i thought i might check out another log i have been missing out I just went through the whole thing... took ~45 min What i have just seen, is some absolutely awesome, exotic reservoirs
I hope you are gonna scratch build the actual pc case aswell! Now that would be fantastic If the entire case is gonna be custom made using plastic, alloy, wood, with the same standard of quality as the reservoirs....

 

@mvagusta -I hope your head doesn't 'splode...

case evolution

 

I have my own style casing coming,... I'll post it all in my case evolution log. Not going to share any info about it except for whats in the cevo log.

 

WOW! I love it,....

Super glued down to another piece of wood. I was going to screw them down too,... next time.


Nice.


Drilling out the centers. 1/2".


Very good.


Very nice,...


I need a wooden tube, 1/2" round.


1/4" bolt to turn cut the tube.


Awesome.


Aluminum props,...


Now,... I have to figeout the height of this center tube. Makes a big difference.


I cleared away some of the wood around the tube to make room for the props.


I can push or pull until I get it the way I want it.


I think im goign to go with this height right here. Atleast this time around. I will definately be playing around with this again in the near future.


Aluminum test. I'm just trying to see about what shape the acrylic ones will take on,...


This jig makes these props here,...


You see how the blades are all to one side? This is not what I intended but,.... I actually like it. I can get it to sit more flush against the end caps right above the in port. It makes the prop look more like it belongs to the end cap as opposed to the actual FX. Know what I'm saying?


This is what the jig looks like when closed on a prop,....


See the prop?


That is just so cool looking,...


Closed.


Now,... just for the hell of it,... I tried lowering the middle peg in hopes that the blades would be somewhat more half way between the center ring of the prop but no,... this is what I ended up with. I have to figure out what the jig is missing that I cant do it. Something is up,...


You see how it starts high then slopes down again? I have to have larger 45 degree thingies to get the blades up higher. The top piece of the jig is pushing the blades down. The 45 degree wedges have to be higher the the stoping point has to be higher too.


I moved the peg back to get what I got before out of the aluminum version. I like this a lot better. I'm goign to keep it like this. I kind of like how its flush on one side.


Here it is on an old xPRZ FX. I have the prop upside down. DOH.


Heres's the prop before forming. It's only takes seconds to heat this stuff up and to my surprise it didnt out gas as easily as I thought it would! No bubbles!


During.


Done.


This looks cools. Both alum's back to back. Looks cool.


Flush.


This is how I want them. This looks nice. The prop looks like its a part of the end cap and not the FX. I'm going to make tiny shaft's with one end keyed. That will be the whole prop. The FX shafts will be keyed on the one side and it will mate with the keyed end of the prop.


Yea,... I love my 30 pounders, I started doing it this way.


Check it out! New colored washers! These go on each end of the reservoir.


Blue for Qhs,...


Black or tinted for DarthBeavis,...


Green,...


And clear. I'm sending all the colors to the company.


Ok,... time to clean up the jig,...


Nice,...


HA! Reminds me of the little thing inside a blender. Not the blade but the thing under the container that turns the blade.


A mouth with really sharp teeth!


My stash,... keep some, sending some away.


I made a quick video testing out the new prop

How to make an xPRZ FX explode,...

 

Oh man those are awesome!!

the prop in the video sounded just like a 4 stroke r/c airplane engine. SAWEET!!

 

You seem to amaze me every time, those props are niiice In the video you sound like you're having a lot of fun

 

Yes,... I am very good at entertaining myself Thanks for the compliments! I ws really hoping that xPRZ would friggin explode. The inside of the shaft looked warped like it was heating up I did try several times to get it to pop but with wouldnt go. Oh well. I made other videos but my 4-stroke plane engine FX killed the mic in my camera Oh well. Thats ok though. ACRyan is setting me up with all kinds of media equipment,... a digital video recorder, tripod, some special lighting, laptop, web cams!!!, etc. I'm going to turn the studio into a friggin show. You guys will be able to see what im doing at all times well almost. I need time for myself to like pick my nose or something. Scratch my butt. You know.

 

Will I see your lazer light show from Queens? lol

 

Oh yea! I made a video of my spinning the xPRZ under UV light. It was cool as hell but the sound was screwed up so I just deleted it. I'll make another soon.

 

lol @ the video, that was cool, were you a little high maybe? If so then pass it around! Can't wait to see your custom styled case If the whole case gets the level of treatment the reservoirs have got, then dare i say it, it is a bit early to say it i guess, but it already looks like you're gonna give G69T a run for his money I hope so!

 

Definitely.

Oh and,... i'm not high,........ thats just,.... me
