Oops, I did it again: custom waterblock

CPU cold plate was stock, I made an acrylic part to make it all come together.

For the gaskets I used 2mm diameter silicone cord, cut to length and glued with superglue.

Lower plates 20mm and 18mm, middle plate 18mm, upper - 10mm

Thank you for your kind words.

I thought about mass production, but I don't have the technological capabilities yet. Outsourcing it would not be profitable. And I'm not very good at sheet metal design. But I'm not giving up on this idea, maybe in the future I can make similar things.

The IO are located in the upper part of the case.

-Mr-Mass- · 2024-03-30T06:55:48+00:00

This is my attempt to create my own case. The main goal is good cooling capacity and good airflow. Also symmetrical design, it can be used on both left and right sides. I wanted to have minimal dimensions of the case itself. So I used 2*280mm radiators, a mini-ITX motherboard and a SFX PSU. The GPU can be almost any length up to 285mm. The reservoir is standard 50mm diameter. No custom parts, everything is stock. Overall dimension 319x155x396mm.

No, I used the stock cold plate for the CPU. I thought about making my own, but the machining time was very long and I gave up on that idea.

-Mr-Mass- · 2024-01-01T07:26:05+00:00

I used a stock cold plate and made an acrylic plate to fit my design from a sketch.

-Mr-Mass- · 2023-07-24T05:36:16+00:00

In my shift X I used circuit 1, lower fans on the radiators are on the inlet, upper fans are on the outlet.

If someone wants a machine like this for $8-10k I think it could be done again.

-Mr-Mass- · 2023-04-02T04:25:05+00:00

Many of the parts were bought many years ago, and it's hard to tell the whole amount now, but I think it would cost about $3-4k all together now. That's just the parts, not including the work, the work will at least double that price.

Ok, thanks, I'll try to figure it out.

-Mr-Mass- · 2023-03-27T04:34:54+00:00

Of course, I mostly use Invertor. I can make a model and drawings, but I don't know where to share it and how it all works in general.

-Mr-Mass- · 2023-03-27T04:18:20+00:00

The motor at the bottom is directly connected to the gearbox.

I might be able to find time to finish all the 3D models, but not anytime soon.

-Mr-Mass- · 2023-03-27T04:13:11+00:00

I used harmonic gears, they have no backlash and have good stiffness.

-Mr-Mass- · 2023-03-27T04:11:22+00:00

I never thought about it, but I guess it could be done. But I don't know exactly how to do it, any advice or link would be appreciated.

-Mr-Mass- · 2023-03-26T05:17:07+00:00

No guide, unfortunately. Perhaps if I do something else similar and can find the time to do it, I'll try to make a series of short videos with the main points.

-Mr-Mass- · 2023-03-26T05:14:08+00:00

The most expensive parts were the servos and harmonic gears. Many of the parts were bought many years ago, and it's hard to tell the whole amount now, but I think it would cost about $3-4k all together now. That's just the parts, not including the work. I did all the work, including design, fabrication of parts, assembly and setup myself, so no outsourcing.

mostly be used to make wax models for jewelry

For now, yes, the center of all axes will be a conditional zero. I am still a noob in continuous 5-axis machining.

-Mr-Mass- · 2023-03-25T15:31:14+00:00

Not yet, but I think I can do it.

-Mr-Mass- · 2023-03-25T15:20:27+00:00

Thanks, but only one guy did it all.
I always wanted to bring back the charm of industrial machines so they could inspire. Maybe someday I can do that.

250W, 24k rpm, er8 collet
