The Time

[MPC]

Realization of the side panels of the base with perforated grid for a better airflow.

 

[MPC]

Bonding of the various mahogany wood panels. 

 

[MPC]

Hand folding of the base structure, for get a better look, finally painted with ivory color.

 

[MPC]

Terminal caps of the 8 tubes. Cutting of aluminum bar, finally I use the lathe and open a thread hole.

 

[MPC]

Aesthetic ferrules positioned around 8 tubes and anchored on the wood texture. internal and external mirrored cut. 

 

[MPC]

Terminated the terminals caps. It's visible the contrast between gold and silver after the one between clock gears and relative pins with plates. 

 

[MPC]

Clock Hands in 1.5 mm thick aluminum. They will also be anodized , but with a special color...different from the gold or silver. 

 

[MPC]

The clock in all of his beauty. 

 

[MPC]

The plexiglass has arrived and I start immediately with the first processing. Chamfering the edges of all the sheets of 45 ° to match them to perfection. It's a special plexiglass called Soft Fluo green. It has a fantastic effect with chrome parts. 

 

[MPC]

Hard and specific manifacturing. Realization in o-ring site in superior sheet of basin with cooling liquid and clock. It was a very accurate solution in order to allow also the maintenance of the clock. All was possible thanking my first love: Optimum milling machine.

Thank you !

It is always nice to see transform the raw materials into objects that have utility

It's true. It is convenient to have machines of the kind that allow you to achieve more or less everything it will pass between the head.

[MPC]

Milling of plexiglas sheets with pantograph cnc to create the ducts location on base top to split the liquid from basin to pumps, from pumps to radiators  and, in fine, from radiators to hardware/waterblock. Liquid leak security system with o-ring.

 

[MPC]

Superior sheet for o-ring compression. Ducts on emohasis.

Thank you very much Unbroken

Surely from steampunk I have taken the charm

[MPC]

Wooden cover of ducts system. In this way the system will be flat. Emptyings of bolts location is  allowed by using of golden Cone Washer sponsor by Gosumodz. It will be the third visual contrast between golden and silver inox steel Cone Washer bolts. 

 

[MPC]

Two important details. Milling cnc sheet with project name to block naval handle located on the door and cnc sheet with start and reset pushbuttons. 

 

[MPC]

Entrance design I/O and power supply on plexiglass sheet that will being milling. In fine, polishing of aluminium and brass parts.

Well done.

 

How did you chamfer plexi with no melting spots?  Water?

Thank you Foxxer

For the 45 ° chamfering on the edges of plates of plexiglass I have not used any type of refrigerant. I used a 45 ° cutter with 1200 rpm .

[MPC]

New material incoming : bay 5,25” , bay 2,5 “ ( SSD ), Panel I/O , slot video card and buttons. 

 

[MPC]

First assembly to see the momentary result. 

 

[MPC]

Dip the wood on a impregnation water based product , this type of procedure protect the wood . Finishing up with some esthetic touch.
