Project: L3p L4n

[TheMainMan]

The program is SolidWorks. I think he made the PCB using a clear photo and the dimensions he took.

[L3p]

As TheMainMan said

Its Solidworks, we got a clear photo from Techpowerup, I measured the card in all ways and he made the photo on real scale inside solidworks

Didn't plan to do anything today but received a package and my fingers started to tingle

Still in love with the red GT fins
Problem is I promised to watercool them.

But an idea popped in.
Hmm Corsair uses M2.5 ... Don't have them and certainly not longer ones :\

Ok re-tap them with M3 ...

That works, now the rest.

The fins work fine, they get pretty hot when cutting them

And done.

An EK block with some rad fins I love

[Fuganater]

I love this. I just might steal it...

[L3p]

No problem Fuganeter, go ahead


Small update

Drilling and tapping the small radiator to M4.

And back to the MarsII block

Daniel has been very busy with it last week.
Really this guy owns

Copper part done.

While he was busy with this I had to think of something for the POM part.
Got a spontaneous idea to recycle the red aluminum parts from the original cooler.
Off course with paint

Daniel didn't know what to think of it but we went for it
Time for me to measure again

And re-measuring. That guy thinks about everything.

And the result.

Daniel really liked it a lot at the end too, I'm completely in love!
Here the renders.

What do you guys think about it?

Only thing he wants from me is as much possible friends on Facebook, so please go ahead if you can guys
Mr3D a.k.a. Daniel!

And another small update

The top panel.

Was walking around for a while with this idea. Want the plexi window to be flush with the black brushed aluminum.
But with only handwork I don't see it succeed. 0.5mm difference will be visible.
So decided to let the plexi be lasered and then try to get the window in by hand. (Thanks Brian!)
Will also take the opportunity to let the small logo's be lasered too, no names, just logo's.

This is the idea

Then first of all I want to thank Daniel and Ivo again for all the effort. Even till now ( ) they still have fun in doing this

Blocks for the POM Top and the aluminum backplate.

And the milling




Still a bit rough.

After some sanding.

Never saw a backplate without bolts or holes in sight before (Daniel ftw!)

The plan is to get it anodized in black and then mill in something.

And then the POM block. Some more explaining here.
For example this is 1/100 of the code the machine will go to create the block.

First a rubber cord a little smaller then the block is placed on the workspace.
This so the machine can suck it vacuum to the plate, off course it shouldn't move a mm.

First the holes and the basis shape.

Then adjust the rubber cord so the machine can go on.

And milling again.

The result.

Till the next update... the copperblock

[SXRguyinMA]

sick!!!

[d_stilgar]

Wow wow wow wow. Not sure it's appropriate to ask, but how much does something like that cost to do? Where did you get it anodized black like that?

[L3p]

I got no idea what it would cost normally.
And the black part you see is POM

Small update
(Slowly we're getting there)

First of all I want to announce a new sponsor .. Corsair!
After the Bit-Tech MOTY they contacted me for sponsoring this project.
(If you only knew how glad I am with this!)

Thanks Corsair!!

And ordered a laser cutted en engraved casewindow.

If I ever win the lotto ...

Done.

And one day later

Quick preview.

This weekend first saw it in and then a very lot of sanding I guess.

And another test.

[SXRguyinMA]

looking good!
