Milling, Milling, Milling!It's finally time to start milling and I'm here with some results.Front PanelI finally got a time slot on the CNC mill so I went ahead and got my front panel machined.And for the final assembly... here's what it (tentatively) looks like. I'm just seeing now that there still are some slight tolerance problems with the slots for the I/O, so I've got some sanding to do.GPU Retention BlockAs a quickie on the manual mill I also milled a small piece of aluminum to use as my GPU retention block. Lovely part! You could definitely print this instead, though.Almost finishing...I also had to modify the SSD tray slightly to allow for proper spacing for mounting hardware.Some quick printed spacers & drive tray reassembly.Some reassembly with a dash of some cable management to tidy things up, and using some plastic push rivets to secure the motherboard tray to the drive tray.We're almost at the end!
