The Intelligence - Day 46 - PSU exhaust shroud, latch bracket repaint
Somehow, someway, the latch brackets that were painted days ago, went milky with clear coat last night
More on these things later
started to cut out the pieces that will be the trim for the two sets of roller dails in the case. measured off for the first cut
busted out the trusty scroll saw, and started cutting
PLINK! never f-ing fails, blade broke :sigh:
replaced blade and finished the two pieces
decided to see if the non-symetrical hex bar could be used, in lieu of getting other material. Thats the 6 feet of clear "hex" bar from mcmaster
cut off about a foot, wasnt too easy (binding, melting) so it wasnt boding well for this stuff
went to cut a test piece and PLINK, another blade gone
took the bar with the broken blade and smacked it on the cement floor to reveal a bound blade in a piece of crap shaped acrylic. Packed it back up and moved on
lightly sanded the latch brackets with 1500
(I want to melt these things in a furnace, but thats tmi
) We'll come back to these
started making the psu shroud using the weld on 3 + syringe stuff
<rant>
the design of that can (weld on 3) is the worst F-ING thing I have ever seen!! There's an inner cap that is tough to remove (altho I see its necessity preventing evap), then once you remove it, and try to pour the stuff into a funnel...FORGET IT! The shape of the rim basically CAUSES spillage, all the while being toxic sh-t to begin with. What the F were they thinking? The person or persons responsible for that can design need a good long talking to and a smack in the mouth
</rant>
welded the top part
welded the side part
stood up to join the last seem in the lower left corner now
syringed and pressing...
came out ok
Syrillian, how do you get rid of weld on 3 bleed?
ready to test fit
couldnt resist this while repainting and reclearing the latch brackets (which I forgot to pic)
no modding tomr
back with more next week
thanks for watching
