DIY Radiator Stand

[Fuganater]

Next up are the mounting holes for rads and pumps.

This measurement is actually wrong. Its 1 3/16" between the 2 holes, not 1 1/4"

Here it is drawn on the stand. These holes match both a DDC and MCP pump. DDC pump is sideways though but I won't be using one. The holes in the middle are for the EK Res. I like theirs the best and they only need 1 mounting point per res holder.

I could also make holes for the DDC pump to face the correct way but as I said, I won't be using it.


More soon.

Not much progress yet but I got my fans in.

18 Yate Loon High Speed fans

Testing the first batch.

They all work!

2nd batch.

All good agin.

Wiring is a mess. I will be removing the molex connector plugs because I don't need them with the fan bus'.

Now I'm just waiting on the fan grills to arrive and for my acrylic supplier to respond back about laser cutting the parts.


Cheers till then.

TL said he might be shipping them soon

Don't know for sure.

[TLHarrell]

Shipping tomorrow at noon. Automated post machine wouldn't allow me to send it to a base address without having to stand in line to see a real person first. No real people were available.

[Fuganater]

Probably because you have to do a customs form.

The automated stamp machine is literally the bane of my existence. Every time I go in, I spend time trying to do what I need to do. It jerks me around, then finally tells me it cannot be done. Haven't actually completed a single transaction with it in the last 5 years. Usually, while I fiddle with it, the line goes from 3 people to 20 and I get stuck waiting half an hour to buy that single 1 cent make up stamp.

Our post office did away with the automatic stamp machine. All that's left is a sudden hole in the wall, a 120v plug, and an Ethernet port.

Well I'm in the airport heading back home. I'll try and snap some pictures before I leave again on Friday.

I have been gone for several months now but I'm only back for a few days. Since I was gone I received a few pieces of plexi, not the whole order, but some.

The custom made rad grills.

The sides and feet.

The holes line up perfectly!

The holes in the feet and the sides are for hoses to go through or for some Koolance Quick Disconnects. I have the threaded kind so I can actually mount them into these holes.

That's it for now. I'm going on vacation and I hope to have the rest of the plexi when I return so I can really get started on this.

Cheers till then.

Be very careful if you're tapping the holes. I absolutely HATE tapping in acrylic. Sounds awful, chips easily.

Can't wait to see this radiator stand come together.
