When the theory fails build a prototype... a lesson I learned recentlyDAE_JA_VOO wrote: Well, i can test them all
I still have the rest of the word "HUTTLE" So i can test it there.
Luckily you don't throw things away. If you're like me, then you even keep the bits of plexi you cut off the pieces you will be using. JUST in case you might need it someday in the far off future... (I have two crates full of things )

Hi Monty
Yeah, i'll probably still cut that away
UPDATE!!!
Sheesh guys, it's been ages since an update. I'm sorry about that. It's been due to a handful of things. December was nuts because of holidays and so on, and as soon as i was back from all the holidays, we started some crazy home improvements and i had nowhere to mod. Once the home improvements weren't interfering with my modding room anymore, i decided to do some modding room upgrades. Before:
After:
I'm still busy though
Anyway, once THAT was out of the way (only last week), i was finally able to start modding again. So, here's the update!
I realised that the HDD would get pretty warm in the upper compartment of the case, so i decided to give it some ventilation. Top panel masked up:
Rough cut:
All done!
Then i needed to cut a piece of plexi to go over that for detail, so got a piece of plexi:
Nice red plexi:
Masked up and measured:
Cut out:
Then i measured the hole for the flow meter:
Hole made!
I still need to soften the edges though...
Anyway, the hole for the HDD was then measured out:
And cut:
Test fitting... fits perfectly!
Then i measured how i wanted to cut it out:
Done!
Test fitting:
So far so good. The next step is to make a border for the HDD hole, and put some mesh in there. It's gonna look VERY good, i'm sure.
I also made a little keyring for myself:
That's it. Sorry i've taken so long!
If you're gonna comment, please also let me know what you think of the photos now, if you don't mind. Part of the reason why i put all the white plexi in this room was for photos. Thanks guys!
Regards
Ettienne
