Past worklogs for Copperhead

I finished it today while watching Judge Judy. Made sure that all the seams were solid, once I add the water blocks and pump later down the road, I wanted to make sure I wouldn’t be in for a nasty suprise. So, thats it. It’s done. 

Ok, I have the live drive mounted now, and everything seems to be set. Just have to polish it a bit and wait for my camera batteries to charge and I’ll have some battle ready snaps.

Pipes are all in place now, got all the components in and everything seems to be working properly. Only detail left is to polish it a little, and it will be good to go.

Sorta finished mocking up the mounting for the mainboard, so I stuck it in there to see what it would look like. Not too shabby. Still have to finish soldering the pipes in place once everything fits snug and I’m sure I won’t have to pull any of it back apart. No, the zip tie isn’t permenant O_o. Just another handful of parts to mock up and I’ll be ready to commit the frame the rest of the way with solder and tighten down the thread rods. Once it’s done in the end, the pipe should make a dandy water reservoir ;)

I’ve returned home from the home improvement store, made some mockup measurements for the primary parts for this machine, cut my pipes and did a basic assembly to get a feel for the size of the machine once it’s completed. Looks pretty cool already ;)
