Cutting a side panel window design - Old Case Experiment Part 2/5

[Dayfoxx7000]

is there any other way to attack the windows without screws

[raza4466]

Man u shud hv usd tips from mnpctech.boltss not so gud.good job

[Meteorix007]

considering the aesthetic fo the Apple products, this is a Frankie Mod XD

well done  = )

[PitFighter2007]

Yeah the bolts killed it. Otherwise it didn't look too bad 3M tape 4010 will do the trick.

[clarkiejohn]

fill the gaps with clear bathroom sealant and red food colouring or any food colouring that will match

[cityguynyc]

yeah think you should of glued or used velcro and avoid the bulky screws. great video we live and learn.

[RaccooNooB]

What's that pink stuff called would really love to know.

[shtboxexpose]

excellent job guys

[Intel1502]

4:06 to 4:36 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OO - NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO N-N-N-N-N-N-NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[prolixusimports]

excellent work guys..

you should open up a business doing that for people. ;)

[bradman5505]

WOW looks extremely sweet GREAT JOB!!!!

[BigD369]

Nice computer mod!

whats the name of the first tool you used in the video?

[mikebossi1]

personally i think u killed it once u put the bolts on it...

[therandomblokeUK]

mint

[Nadirabc]

why didn't they show us the result? :(

[supertroye]

watch part 3/5

[applemonkey187]

take some of the shavings from the router cutting and use a heat gun to melt it in to the space....

[craigos007]

A little tip guys, When using the router go all the way around about 5mm away from the line and then go around again to the line. The router will be doing less work and easier to handle, so more precise and less chance of chipping.

[Javams1]

yeah use u channel look at monster mawd btw that happened to me and thats what im doing cuz i cant get mine any better than what i already did

[wheelnut53]

Where was this when used the rotary to cut the whole pattern used about a 20 wheels . for what I spent on cutting wheels i could have bought a jig saw. Then after cutting my hole i found out the 250 mm fan was not what I wanted . Now I could post a tutoral what I did to plug the hole.good job guys

[supertroye]

Yeah I prefer a jig saw to rotary tool on appropriate cuts. You do end up eating a bunch of wheels for anything substantial. Cool, post up ur tutorial, I'd love to see it!

[Entobment]

The bolts make it look kinda weird tho guys,

you should have use some sort of strong glue.

[supertroye]

yeah, it is a different (read:weird) look... but that was kind of the point.

[shuffle953]

hey great job guys !!!! better than what i did

[supertroye]

thanks shuffle man. we hope to make the process easier by showing the mistakes and what we learned!

[shuffle953]

lol yea i tried to do a halo 3 sign but failed so my dad just made up a glass window for my side panel

[supertroye]

cool... i absolutely love the halo trilogy gameplay and story line. it was fantastic so you're efforts were not in vain! did you do just the number 3 or "halo 3"? Would love to see your attempt at it

[shuffle953]

i did the 3 and some other some with the nice blue color scheme

[NickelxK5]

Where did you get the pink ish glass? and please tell me you installed MAC OS X on there or the apple logo was pointless lol

[supertroye]

Lol, that was supposed to be "red" acrylic from Performance-Pcs(dot)com. It turned out to look pink. But all is well, it went to his little niece anyways. Yeah the apple an inside joke between drumboog and his brother.

[rudoatlas]

great work. Dremmel is super tool, but more powerful router is required for this purpose. Once I made something similar and I made my own small router table with router from bottom which was attached up side down.

[supertroye]

Thanks for the comment. Yeah that's what we should have done here. This was more of an experiment than anything else, but we learned a great deal!

[RickArter]

Came out great 5/5

[supertroye]

Thanks man... it was a fun process!

[applemonkey187]

a apple......wtf lol.good work tho.

[supertroye]

thanks, yeah it's an inside joke between him and his brother.

[supertroye]

thanks for the comment... yeah we're trying to see what is a "worth it" mod and how long they take. wait, what am i saying? if it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing :)

[rodolfinho87]

3m without Screws!

[drumboog]

3M tape would have been easier! I'm going for a machined look and that's why I chose the socket head screws.

[supertroye]

Thanks for the suggestion! Have you done this before and does it "melt" the acrylic? We'll try it out to see what the effect is. Thanks again Jason!

[WestCoastMods]

Yeah, thinking about it some more, and U-channel will cause you to have to trim the acrylic again, and without a hard template,you'll have the possibility of human error.

Clear epoxy,will probably be more noticeable than the small area's that need repair.

IMO, I would use the wood template and a router. You would have to re cut the acrylic again,but I think you would get a perfect fit.having a template to guide your bit would leave less room for human error. trying to follow that line is hard.

[supertroye]

I think that's the best option too... from what Glen said the acrylic felt like it had little pockets in it where the bit would want to wander more (like a knot in wood). So trying to follow that line without a guide just won't yield the results you're looking for. A template with a full size router is brilliant!

[WestCoastMods]

Thanks Bro, I hope my suggestions have been of some help. nevergive7 had a great suggestion too.

Do you have a router with a Pattern Flush Trim Router Bit ( I think thats what its called) not sure would have to do some research on that.

[WestCoastMods]

That is an awesome vid, this is the kind of stuff that I enjoy. not enough starz allowed so you'll have to settle on 5

1. I was thinking u-channel also, you can buy real small u-channel at performance PC, it would help hide the errors.

2.Then I was thinking about, what if you cut out a wooden template first, keep adjusting the wooden template until it's perfect, then use dlb sided tape to hold to the wood to the acrylic, then use a standard router.

3. finally try clear epoxy to fill the gaps

[supertroye]

Thanks Lazyman! Dude you're a huge container of knowledge and suggestions. The template idea is prime with a standard router. U-channel would need some clearance and would require some more cutting... and I think we would turn the epoxy into mess.

[zoop425]

that is a very cool concept 5/5

[supertroye]

thanks zoop... even though the "fruit" symbol is not gonna be part of the OS!

[zoop425]

yeah i figured is it just going to be a mid rage system? and why didn't you do a different logo? lol

[supertroye]

LOL.. good question. The "Apple" logo is kind of an inside joke between him and his brother (he's giving it to his niece and nephew). It was also a chance to practice on a shape that wasn't a square or straight lines.

[zoop425]

very cool.. I like it.. you should make that computer into a hackintosh or use the efi-x.. that way is will be a getto mac!
