Butcher's Hook - Day 12 - mobo pan & plate + eyelet
theres the mobo plate from last night
clamped it down to drill out standoff holes
after drilling out with 7/64"
tap action @ 6-32
on the backside I ground the ridges that were formed from drilling/tapping, using a dremel orange stone (aluminum oxide, for ferrous metals)
mounted the standoffs, as I did I noticed a problem...
the standoffs have a recessed shoulder of about 1/16". Guess what, my plate is 1/16". basically means that when I screw these in theres nothing or barely nothing touching threads. remedy time...
washers
lets blow out the mobo pan holes to 9/64"
did so and noticed another problem...
the standoff female holes werent deep enough to accept the entire standoff shaft (watch it with the comments)
in a pinch (before I order taller standoffs with deeper holes) I happen to have 5/16 barrel standoffs, these accepted the shafts of the others, so at least I could continue working
replaced all the steel standoffs with the deeper brass ones
after that I mounted the pan and mounted the next set of steel standoffs
like a moron I ran upstairs and took the m3 screws out of the intelli (after having reinstalled them this morning) thinking I needed them for the mobo, forgetting that even tho this is a lian li mobo pan its over bored to 6-32
after realizing my stupidity I busted out the box of 6-32 screws and mounted the mobo
every modder needs one of these screw drivers, it has a 10" shaft and a magnetic tip (ok Ill cut you all off now - "thats what she said"
)
disassembled it all and got busy in the eyelet for the mobo plate. measured the inside...
center line
clamped
tacked
after 2 tacks, flipped to cook seem (no pic)
stacked another ring on other side and tacked
flipped to cook seem 2
pic
test hang
tomr I will cook the rings together, grind the nasties, and start in the star (came up with a great idea to do the star but its top secret atm
)
thanks for watching
