Machining an ITX Open PC Case | ASMR Edition | Only Machine Sounds
Title says it all pretty much. This ITX chassis was cut for a fellow Londoner, it's 9 parts in total and featured a lot of tricky workholding thanks to a number of thin pieces and end threads. The case itself was designed by the client.

Machining 2 Crazy PC Side Panels | ASMR Edition | Only Machine Sounds
Просмотров 13 тыс.21 день назад
These are two panels I made for entrants in the Thermaltake UK Master and Apprentice competition. The first piece is a smoked acrylic lighting panel that's going into Richi Bowzer and his nephew's entry, designed to emulate the front of a Hyndai IONIQ. The second panel is a side window for Michael Dexter and his cousin Cheryl's team. Designed to look organic, as if vines were growing around the...
Machining a Mini Pump Reservoir | ASMR Edition | Only Machine Sounds

I made this miniature PC watercooling pump reservoir unit for UK casemodder Richard Ord and his son Lucas, as part of their Thermaltake Master and Apprentice entry. The cool thing is Lucas designed the reservoir himself in Fusion 360, he did a fantastic job! This one was surprisingly tricky thanks to a few funky clearance requirements, although much of that was probably thanks to the trunnion. ...
Machining a GPU Waterblock Coldplate | ASMR Edition | Only Machine Sounds
Просмотров 182 тыс.Месяц назад
Carrying on from the last video where I made the aluminium fixture, this time I'm making the copper coldplate. This was by far the most complex part of the GPU block, not only was the available stock only just big enough, but pushing through with a 0.6mm endmill for the wavy finstack was more than a little nerve wracking. I use Datron tooling for all my acrylic work. If you're interested in giv...

I've been tasked with a fun yet challenging part to make, this one's best off made on a fixture I think! This fixture will allow me to have access to all the necessary sides of the stock later on, as well as make holding the piece for the subsequent operations much easier. I use Datron tooling for all my acrylic work. If you're interested in giving them a try on your own setup, be sure to drop ...

Tower 900 Mod - Making of the Tower Level 10
Сколько эбли чтобы сделать что?
Imagine using a machine that costs more than most people's homes to simply cut plastic. Decorative plastic at that.
hey, what is the feed and speed for the drill?
How much does the machine weigh? It doesn't look big but it can use large tools.😮
What CAM software do you use to program for the CNC?
Здравствуйте! Вы сможете сделать водоблок для видеокарты RTX 2070 Super Jetstream?
I can, but it would be a lot cheaper to just buy a 5090
Do you take custom distro plate orders ?
Beautiful work!
Mmmm. I’m incredibly intrigued in how the machine and its software are built. Oooooo… it’s so fascinating… 😮😊
Zvcxya🎉😂und LENÄ😊
Кто составлял программы?! Это ужасно, смотреть невозможно на эту бестолковую возню с кучей инструментов И магазин для инструментов это какая то шутка
Hi what software for Datron??
I like your machine
Price
The sweet sound of machining aluminum 👂 🩸
Shame we did not get to see a shot with a motherboard mounted. Ahh well, as least he let you share the videos :)
Tools never come out. They only go in. Machine hungry.
@@wronex It is the sacrifice that must be made.
what is the name of the material between the vacuum table and the workpiece
Is your camera mounted inside the machine while it's cutting? How are you not getting reflections from the protective glass on the door? :o
I've checked out the prices of those Datron machines and it's quite frankly mind boggling. Until you see the mirror surface finish the parts have straight off the machine. Incredible and clearly worth the price. Another fantastic video, thanks.
The surface finish is the result of using single-flute tooling and proper feeds and speeds.
@@theofficialczex1708 ah so if I used single flute tooling and the proper feeds and speed on my 6040 Chinese router I'd get the same result? Great news!
Hey Aaron! Curious - what sort of figure did you have in mind initially?
1st time viewer. That's amazing. If that were polished to a chrome like mirror finish it would be absolutely stunning. The reflections from the hardware and aRGB (assuming) would surely be mesmerizing. Like a Disco Ball or Kaleidoscope. Greetings from frozen hell Alaska. Don't let ur meat loaf.
A fully polished one would look awesome!
At the beginning of the video it feels like a laboratory, not like a machine shop…
4:23 nowebon!!!!
When do you make normal Vlogs again? I don't really like ASMR, I want to know more about the projects itself in form of a Vlog or at least with some commentary.
@@Brealiq Next video coming up is a vlog style one. It’s hard to keep both camps happy, the vlogs work best for more involved projects whereas the ASMR videos suit more regular jobshop work better.
Name of cnc machine please?
какой вес получился ?
Looks like 6000 serious aluminium. 6061 maybe 6082 perhaps? Surely not 7000 serious ( it's missing that hint of yellow color ) and also not 1000 serious ( to steel like color not enough silver'ish color ) Might be straight bolted on according to that indicator. Time to bring out the CEJ510-9 then xD ( it's a 0.0001mm/0.1 micron pr. Devision indicator )
Now do it again out of a single block.
@@camoogoo I shall make it 🤏 big
Good. Where can I learn about this clip?😀
Question, what are those pneumatic sounds like the one at 3:34, 3:47, etc doing? Also from the way the chips stick to stuff I'm guessing there's some kind of MQL/mist cooling going on? Cheers.
how much is this cnc machine ?
Are you vacuum holding the work piece
@@jdsloan4609 I am indeed!
wow, fastest 15mins ever. I got so much into the vid it just POOF, gone. Marvelous work!
Thank you for sharing your work with us. It is always great to see the process and considerations made to create such a wonderful part. May I know if you used any cooling for this particular work? Or did you omit just for the video?
@@ahmadamirul8379 Coolant’s on the whole time, it’s an MQL system so it’s almost invisible on camera.
Whoa, it's drastic size difference of milling tools that you use in your router compare to the HMC that i work with.
Rob Dahm needs to see this CNC machine because holy fuck this thing is cool as hell
May be they both collab and design parts of the 12 rotor
So i come to you for my full coverage front and active backplate 5090 block in pure cooper no nickel, then right?
Freaking cool...As usual 😎
questions regarding the vacuum: do you have to close the unused, uncovered channels manually or does the machine control allow you to define how many of them are active? can you show the vacuum pump? or is that a venturi-based system? other question about that machine - i wonder what the biggest tool would be, you could use to mill away from a aluminium block, without overpowering that vacuum-clamp or the machine
@@supremecommander2398 The table’s divided into 100mm cells that each have a little twist valve in the centre. Prior to cutting you have to close off the cells that won’t be used to help reduce the vacuum leakage. That part’s manual, although you can switch on/off the left/right plate from the machine control if you’re not using the whole area. This machine has a pretty small spindle, the largest tool you’d realistically want to use is the 20mm monoblock facemill that Datron/BIG Daishowa make. HSKE-25 is a small interface that isn’t designed with large tooling in mind, so the spindle limit is pretty quickly reached. If you machined a large plate that covered say a whole side of the vacuum table you could in theory take some very meaty cuts as the holding force scales with the area.
Вот это тачка 😮❤❤❤ я влюбился ❤️❗❗❗
what was your choice of Datron Cube based on. The work I have seen so far on your channel looks to my eyes (hobby guy) could be accomplished by Shapeoko HDM or similar premium hobby machines with a spinogy x22 spindle. Apologies if i offended you. EDIT: are there use cases you just cant show us, or edge cases that haven't come up yet. Or am I massively underestimating the precision required.
@@subuktageenfarooqi5712 The main thing is this is a machine that has the capability to do reliable production, whereas those other hobby routers very much do not. I’m also only able to show certain jobs, which tend to align with hobby content more. Simple jobs can very much be accomplished on a basic machine, this is exactly what I used to do with my old CNCStep machine over on Bit-Tech. But scaling that up to become a business and grow definitely means stepping up the equipment also.
@@PraetexDesign one more question, can you talk about what other machines you considered/looked at before you settled on Datron Cube.
@@subuktageenfarooqi5712 Honestly the choice was fairly quick on this one. Since a lot of the work I do is panel stuff, the Datrons were a very logical choice, they’re pretty much perfect for work with plastics. Down the line I’ll be supplementing this machine with others that cover the areas where this machine doesn’t excel like heavy material removal or simultaneous 5ax work etc.
How do you align or ensure that the stock is parallel with the table or spindle on top of the paper diffuser? I don't see any end stops or alignment pegs to position the stock against.
@@ariasairforce I probe for alignment, the control can adjust to compensate for any shifting.
Shame we did not get to see it assembled, but really nice to see a variety of tools and setups in action
end of the video its assembled wdym?
@@cyber2526 Assembled as in putting a PC in that case.
How are the dreanique endmills? I've considered going with those ''lower end'' but never sure if its worth it of if I should go for name brands
@@gabsshop4966 I’ve personally been pretty pleased with them. I generally use them to prolong the life of more expensive tools so I’m not too worried about potential shortcomings like dimension tolerances etc. They definitely don’t last as long as more expensive tools though. I’m not too keen on experimenting with a lot of Aliexpress carbide though, I only went with Dreanique as they’d been vetted fairly heavily by the PrintNC community.
