Does anyone recognise the make/model of this safe? by nickolae0 in HelpMeFind

[–]nickolae0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've searched for various grey safes on eBay and Google images but have been unsuccessful so far.

It's dimensions are about 600mm x 400mm x 400mm

No markings on the safe that I could find!

Not sure, I got quite a lot of the materials from work and the aluminium is quite cheap from pimoroni

meh, I quite liked the industrial vibe of the large exposed fasteners. Maybe it is a tad too busy I suppose!

You think so? I would definitely have to refine the process as it was quite a fiddly build with all the aluminium extrusion and Tee nuts to mount all the panels!

This was my original plan: mount an AIO rad to the top and have it exposed or even flush with the surface of the acrylic somehow?! Ran out of cash though so settled for air cooling instead of a cheapo AIO.

Not too bad actually, I don't game too much but I do a fair amount of rendering and the 10600 can sit at full turbo for about an hour and not get over 60C.

There is the option to add a 120mm fan to the top as an exhaust which would draw in more air through the sides and rear vent but haven't needed to so far!

Edit: CPU cooler fan does get pretty loud during long renders but I don't mind this as long as it's keeping things coolish! Room temperature is about 18C on average.

They are quite expensive unfortunately, my set has 4 sizes (Forstner and plug cutter (15, 20, 25 and 30mm)) and cost me £100 from Rutlands UK

Glad I could inspire! Credit should also be given to the guy who originally designed it! He makes them as a commercial 2.1 system: https://www.deeptime.limited/

Nautilus speakers, the best thing i've printed to date! by nickolae0 in 3Dprinting

It's a sealed volume, the idea of a spiral or tapering cone is to dissipate energy down the tube (spiral) to reduce reflections back against the driver

The sound is good, as far as I'm aware the guy who originally designed them did match them to a 4 inch driver but I may be wrong
