"Chip-outs"

Shadow Gamer

How would I get rid of chip-outs/burrs? I recently drilled a "mesh" for a 80 and 120mm fan in my case, and there are some real nasty chipouts on the holes.

You can use a counter sink or deburr bit to just shave off the burrs from the holes, I do recommend however if you plan to do more drilling to use a Christmas tree bit or stepped drill bit it tends to have less burrs especially if you have a sacrificial piece of wood or material behind it.

What I usually do is take a drill bit a little larger than the hole and just twist it by hand until the burrs are gone. A small round file works well too.

Do the thing with the drill bit.

I cannot be held responsible for any bad advice given.

I've no idea why the world is afraid of 3D-printed guns when clearly 3D-printed crossbows would be more practical for now.

My rig: The StealthRay. Plans for a newer, better version of its mufflers are already being made.

Use the next size up drill bit on a low speed or by hand to remove the blowout. In the future you can put a sacrificial block behind your material (press them together hard) to help prevent this from happening.
