This build is coming along beautifully! I better see this showcased on Asrock’s website when it’s done! Also, keep in mind cherry will darken with age and UV exposure. It is a beautiful wood nonetheless. A tip with wood, quarter-sawn boards are much, much less prone to warping, bowing, and cupping than plain-sawn boards, and have a nice straight grain across the entire board
@jackflash63774 жыл бұрын
Couple more tips from a pro. 1. Install end mills as deep as possible into the collet. Stick out.. keep it to a minimum to avoid chatter and end mill breaking. 2. Use climb milling for roughing and conventional milling for the finish pass. The finish will be significantly better, especially in smaller mills. Nice job! Keep up the good work.

Good lord this series is just blowing my mind! I'm impressed by everything - even the video editing and music choices! I just wish you would list the music used... I could really use it while I write my dissertation :)
Very inspired to do something similar but with my own take on things. Nearing the end of getting my home shop fully setup, it currently has a fully upgraded ShopSabre 23 CNC router and a FlexArm A32 pneumatic tapping arm. Been using CAD(Fusion360) for about 6 years and ECAD software for PCB design(EasyEDA) for about 8 months. One of the primary focuses of my build will be to use PCB's instead of wires to hide away all wire runs. PCB's will be within aluminum frame(might be made out of composites instead of aluminum) and computers components plug discretely into the pcb with no long lengths of wire 😁
@longnamedude39474 жыл бұрын
That sounds like an interesting project :) Just as a heads up; You'll need to keep your PCB tolerances tight because the PCI-E signal can degrade quite easily if it isn't sufficiently shielded. Also, always test the whole build with known working but "spare" / "throwaway" PC components first, it could save you a lot of hassle/time, and potentially a lot of money..... This build certainly inspires a lot of ideas that's for sure :) Have a nice day/evening wherever you are in the world. Peace :)

Absolutely gorgeous work. Couldn't agree more with 'I'll know it's there', many things I do will not be seen but I know they've been done right. Not trying to be picky whatsoever but I'm a bit surprised that the standoffs weren't reduced in length by the same amount, a little jig would have worked (a nut maybe). Missed opportunity or just keen to test? I do think you'll return to these and either replace them or make your own versions from something exotic! I've always felt that the tops of the metal standoffs should offer a greater mating surface with the motherboard (them old plastic ones were huge in comparison), perfect chance to do that here! Keep up the excellent work, loving every minute of these videos, thank you for sharing.

For finish passes make sure your on clean sharp insert or bit, best to just use new or newish. Also increase speed around 25 to 45 % and slow feed down about 20 to 40% A rough guidence on themmchanges anyway. P.S. if you have a small hydraulic press, and some vig enough parallels you shoukd be able to flatten stuff out, used to have to do that a lot. There is a bit of technique involved in doing it but always check with a straight edge and lress down on the high spots. 3 to 4mm will come out easy.
