Jessie's Gumdrop - Day 05
yay, update!
--Friday--
With the blessing of the boss, I was able to snag a rail kit from my job. Now I dont have to include the hdd cage in the build which means less sanding/priming/painting
Here its sanded down, along with the washers for the rear switches.
the new marson pop rivet gun from mcmaster-carr. comes with 4 heads for various rivet sizes and 200 rivets. 34$
there's a rivet. had to re-rivet the lid back on temporarily, for stability, because I needed to drill another 1/2" hole on the back of the chasis for another switch
additional 1/2" hole for spst toggle for UV lamp
test fit
this is the piece of acrylic I knew wasnt going to fit with what I wanted when I ordered it, but I ordered it anyway. sizing it up, its a no - go. that cut will have to wait.
--end friday--
--saturday--
no priming today
on friday evening I ordered the acrylic sheets that I will need. now that I know what sizes are coming I decided to re-mark my cuts for the window and get the cutting done
braced and pilotted...
using a 2 3/4" hole saw for the rounded corners of a basic 10x10 window - 2 cuts down
4 cuts
now lets connect the dots with the trusty ol' dremel
muha
and look at the oh-so-cliche shaped piece left over!
kept it in the scrap bin, never know when I may need a piece of oh-so-cliche-cross-shaped sheet metal
after some bastardization
test fit. I think it looks fairly cool - it will hide the psu and uv lamp nicely
did some hand sanding on the bezel (front and back) in prep for priming
tomorrow I need to sand the drive bay covers, the cdrom face-plate, and the mobo back-plate. I am so looking forward to that.
Once those parts are sanded I think I am ready for priming. Stay tuned, thanks for reading
