Project : Sors salutis -by AnG3L

Time for the last update of this year guys!
I did some work on the first compartment of this mod as you will see.
I had to find a way to use acrylic in order to attach the bezel and back on the bottom part.
I didnt want to use plain angles for "art" reasons and also for extra durability.
So I created my own -more sturdy- angle by bending and somehow sculpting a piece of white acrylic. It took me 2 hours to create this piece!

Here is how it looked like first.

And after bending - sculpting (with various dremel bits)

By using some epoxy glue I attached this piece on the bezel.

While I was waiting for the glue to dry I decided to fix the window mocks so they will give an extra 5mm space to hide and attach behind the panel.

Then I bended some acrylic to angles and also did the second piece which is going to hold the back piece of the case.

Some cutting, sanding, filing!

By using epoxy again I glued-attached the bezel on the bottom part!

And also attached the second piece the same way. Screws will be used for extra stability/durability.

Drilled some holes for the screws to pass through .

Attached the back part too!

Time to slowly start building the side panel. First test fit the side panel's supporter.

Here is the wood pieces I am going to use!
These are only the half of them!

Cut to exact size and also smaller.

Attaching the first pieces with some universal glue. This is a very slow process as I have to wait around 5 minutes or more for each piece!

Turned the panel upside down and also start working on the top part as it will be not filled with wood. I will add later 1mm acrylic more designs etc.

Half way through the first panel. More to follow around 5 January.

I also noticed after more than one month that the motherboard i/o part of the motherboard is reversed due to my mistake on the original design! Now I have to disassemble the whole thing and order a new one!!! OMG!

Thanks for reading my worklog guys, I wish you all the best for the year to come but above all
health, love and consciousness in your lives! Till next time, peace!

Nice!
I love the fact that there is no way to predict what's going to happen next with this mod! I'll be pacing my apartment until the next update. Happy New Year!

Time for one more update folks! Happy and Healthy New Year to Everyone!
The endless journey on the side panel continues! The designs change all the time as my improvisation "angel" is messing with my mind!
At first I glued the round wooden pieces as you saw in my previous update.
The weight of the side panel exceeded my expectations so I had to remove as much wood as I could and replace it with 1mm acrylic which is very light.
Many people ask me for 3d designs etc, as you might have realize I enjoy improvise a lot as I did with my first 2 mods.
So lets begin our random little "photo" journey!
Here is the addition of the rest "wood".

I cut a lot of pieces after I draw in my mind the upcoming design and I also left some "strategically" placed pieces for durability.

And here is the main side panel chassis.

I added 1mm acrylic on the back side for aesthetic and durability reasons.

While I was waiting for the glue to dry, I attached the connectors of the second compartment.
As I told you before the second compartment it will be removable so I decided to use screws for that instead of "slide in" mechanism which was my original idea.

I used a plastic welder glue which so far is working great (crossing fingers)!

Next day after the glue dried completely it was time to cut off the excess 1mm acrylic pieces.

After a while I received my sponsor and personal purchases package!

Lets see what we have here!

Really well packaged as you will see, on of the most professional so far.

A lot of goodies!!! Mostly watercooling gear!

Back to work now. 3 main 1mm acrylic pieces will be added, this is the first and main one.

Cutting a piece off for some extra design which you will see later on!

More wooden pieces !

This is our last picture for today, as you have seen theres a lot of work going on with this side panel. It will take some time cause the designs aint easy so be patient!

Thanks for watching my update guys, till next time, peace!!

[AnG3L]

Thanks bro! Hope so too!!

So that definitely made it much clearer in my mind. I love the way this build evolves.

[AnG3L]

Thanks bro well after 2-3 updates things will become more clear I believe!
This mod is actually half plans half improvise, the way I like and enjoy!
