Phase 2 Casemodding

[brinkz0r]

I translated the rest also, so here we go For starters, I tried the grill with one UV led and the result is pretty nice

That was the reason I removed the boring blue leds off the fan. Pulled them out on this pic:

The original ones were 3mm leds, so I needed to drill the holes up to 5mm first. This picture is actually not that bad, but in reality the light has a lot less blue in it.

I still needed to glue some more parts on, and after that it already looked pretty finished

But it wasn't good enough, yet. I thought it needed a little more of the black plexi. So I grabbed my coping saw again and started cutting:

These two parts were the result

I drew and printed a sheet of paper with the design on it, so I was able to glue them exactly at the right place:

Here one is glued already:

And that's two. The plexi work is done now, but it isn't finished:

Just a little pic from the under side of the grill:

You guys get to see the end result right away, because the English forums are a few days behind It really is done now, I just need to check out how it looks with the UV leds on. I called it Brake Line, after the bicycle brake lines I wanted to use. But I found out they were to hard to get in, I would put the whole grill at stake when I would try to use three brake lines. So I started looking around for a black cable with a diameter of 5mm, and found 20 meters of black coax cable I had lying around for way too long. These were a lot easier to get in, so these pictures are the result of the photo shoot in my garden

Mate you are really good at what you do. I hope one day to posses your skills. +rep again

If you don't mind me asking, which program do you use for those designs?

[brinkz0r]

Thanks guys Just takes time and money to get these skills, and I don't feel like I'm done learning already . Hell, I just turned 22, so I'm planning to learn some more the upcoming years

The 3D program that I use is SolidWorks. I learned to use it at an internship and worked with it about a year professionally now. But most of the time I'm just using it at home with my free student license

SolidWorks you say? I may look into getting myself a free trial or something to fiddle around with.

best grill ive seen i think

[brinkz0r]

Today is the day of the deadline, so I had to take some pics in the dark with the UV ledfan. The grill is not mounted to a sheet or a case, but I may use it in a future casemod. Who knows
