    Completed Scratch Build: Custom D5 Loop ~12L

    ITS FINALLY DONE!!! Plumbing went really smoothly, all the fittings and tubing runs cleared just the way they were supposed to. While I waited for an rgb splitter, I’ve been running it pretty consistently and no leaks at all! It runs pretty darn quiet for it’s size and it definitely chucks...

    Hello again! it’s been a while. Since last post, I’ve bought all the components. circumstances dictated that I needed to geteverything setup quickly, so for the moment we have an Air Minnow. The only real wrinkle that presented was the positively massive stockcooler for the 3900x. I printed a...

    Yooooooo More progress! I've printed the final frame, the acrylic panels have showed up along with the fans and the rad. I did mistakenly order the back panel flipped, so the glossy side is exposed. Idk i kinda think its cool. what do you guys think? At this point, the case itself is complete...

    Very exciting day of progress today!!! the distro has arrived! I made and seated the o-rings, put it all together and mounted it to the final PETG frame. I filled it up, powered on the pump andddddddd click click click. Turns out I don’t have as much clearance as I wanted for the impeller. I...

    thanks bud! It'll be in all black and at slightly higher quality settings for the final version. I'm excited to see how the acrylic side panels turn out. still debating on color

    Progress moves forward! Thanks to Shatrod's help we have a better distro design that been machined! I've also printed a prototype of the structural elements of the frame out of PLA. So far, everything is fitting up as intended and looking good! pics

    Hello There!

    Hey Everyone, Doing this sorta late, but better late than never. I'm brand new to the SFF world. I'm working on a personal scratch build that you can follow here

    Got all the core structural components laid out in the slicer. We're looking at a total print time of 54 hours and 43 minutes and thats just at draft resolution and quality lol. mcmaster-carr order is in for fasteners, inserts, and standoffs. Shatrod has been kind enough to, not only CNC the...

    It cuts through the impeller cavity to make contact in z. I’ll sent you a photo

    like i said in the update, im planning on giving the files for everything away once i test the efficacy of everything. Distro included. you'd have to get acrylic routed on a cnc. Currently looking into what my options are for that too.

    yes it is! its based on the flow of this pump/res from singularity computers https://www.singularitycomputers.com/shop/watercooling/distribution-plates/d5-reservoir-distribution-plate-small/ its very possible that its inefficient, but i like the look of it and i think the maximization of the...

    Its update time! Oh boy, are there updates. The biggest of which is a change of the res/pump. the killer for the EK FLT 120, for me, was the lack of ports on the pump side of the unit aka the inside of the case. Originally I made a version that routed the res tubing out of the case, but decided...

    Thank you! I never really had any plans to actually manufacture this as a product. My plan is for a laser cut acrylic/3D printed construction, so if people wind up being interested in it, maybe I’ll sell the files. that way people can either make the parts themselves or have them made by laser...

    Here are the main components I've chosen. Though by the time I make it, we might see new chips from intel. Hardware
