Hi my name is Mario and I am a hobby CNC machinist. I'm not an engineer or run a machine shop, I started this by myself knowing nothing about it and thanks to the CNC forums and videos I got into it now I want to show people what they could do with some inspiration, imagination, passion, and patience join me as I try to push my limits and ideas of what i can do with this hobby CNC
@@kdarkholme unfortunately I don’t make water blocks. Even if I could, it would require me to own the exact same GPU to get all necessary measurements and clearances. Then the material would have to be copper which is kinda expensive, so yeah the water block would end up cost more or less the same cost of the GPU.
Hello, I just saw your video and I find the content very interesting. Are you working from a file that I designed myself using fusion 360? or you absolutely need the dimensions to work.
@@laurentbel4745 hello 👋, i can work from a file from fusion 360. If possible I can try to estimate a cost and time You can send the file to Radikult@gmail.com
@@dbcustomtowers4757 the CNC was a Laguna CNC. I got it used in rough condition. Eventually I transform it into what it is now so that’s why it looks a bit different
When you're in doubt about intermediate step sizes (400-600-800-1000-1500), the rule of thumb is to not go up more than 50% at once. So if you're at 800, the next step should not be higher than 800+400=1200. In the video you said you often go from 800 to 1500. I wouldn't do that. Go to 1000 or 1200 first. Then you can go up by 50% to 1500.
I've been a subscriber for several years now, and am glad to see your business doing well. You were on the forefront of the "distroplate craze" and even now are still selling yours at what I would consider reasonable prices where I've seen some other much larger companies charging $3-500. Now that they are more common that may not be the case but i remember looking years ago at yours thinking wow that really is a great price for the amount of design, build, assembly and polishing you put in. I've yet to build a full custom looped system but when/if i ever can i know where I'll go for the centerpiece and wish you the best in future.
your stuff was always good, but now its even better. I bought one of his 240mm d5 distro about over 5 years ago (2019), and its still going strong. no cracks at all. way better than the Big name brands distros which have cracked on me around the ports within a year. Highly recommended.
He built a distro plate for my 011 mini a few years back. Never one leak or any other problems with it. Highly recommend if you want a superior quality, functional product at a fair price.
Are you machining the heat exchanger also? If so, are you using copper? Really cool, first video I've seen where a non-industrial grade CNC machine is being used. Great watch
Okay, just have to say, this channel is what inspired me to build my own CNC machine and start my own RU-vid channel based on your CNC Build series several years ago. I LOVE your videos! I hope to someday be half as good as you are with CNC and create stuff like what you have. Thank you for inspiring me to be creative and do something I only dreamed of.
You need to seal the mdf with paint or varnish because mdf is very porous and vacuums will breath trough. Oh by the way, your construction is awesome. Looks like a tank. Very impressive.
Hello, I have a vpp655 vario since 2006 working. I had a problem with the rotor. It seems that the area where the ceramic sphere rests broke due to fatigue, I suppose. I bought a new rotor on Aliexpress and the exact same thing happened to me that happened to your client. The rotor collided with the block (alphacool HF d5). The decision I made was simple. Replace the O-ring with one that further separates the pump from the block. I think it would be a simpler solution for your reservoirs. All the best
Hi 👋, probably the impeller is a bit out of balance and that’s why it’s making some noise inside the reservoir. Unfortunately there is no easy way to balance an impeller, but putting a thicker oring to separate the pump a bit is a good idea. 👍 I have already change and updated the pump inlets on the reservoir to prevent any of the issues with impellers hitting the reservoirs. Thanks for the tip maybe someone can read this and help them
@@radikult-custom That's what I thought when I put it together and indeed when I raise the revolutions to more than 3/5 the rotor vibrates. I'm going to buy a new block and pump. I don't know whether to apex or go to what I know works and take a VPP655 again that has been working for many years, but this time I will take the PWM version. I think it is not worth buying an Apex because it no longer has the ceramic dial as I have read. Great job you do, I always wanted to make my own blocks, but I never had the money to buy a decent CNC. All the best
I bought the 420mm size like this 360mm, I'm waiting for it to be delivered to me, as soon as I receive it I'll leave information about my satisfaction here, What I can say right now is that it cost me US$557.85 and I will still have to pay import taxes, which I don't even know how much it will be, but I think it will be worth it as it goes towards a Lian Li O11 Dynamic Evo XL cpu case.
The reservoir from here www.radikult-custom.com/product-page/240-d5 Slightly modified with an additional port on the front to connect the GPU more directly.
Could you make a lian li a4-h20 res? Maybe replacing the front panel? I have a full motherboard block and a flt80 with a ddc and the heatsink in there. I upgraded to a 6700xt but my vega 64 was waterblocked aswell and on the loop when I had it.
Unfortunately I don’t have that case. To make something specific I need the case. I’m not even sure if a front panel reservoir/distro would be possible.
Greetings from the UK, thank you so much for sharing your wealth of knowledge. It has been a while since you made this rebuild using repurposed equipment into a precision fixed gantry milling machine. Would love to know how well it has performed. Btw can you please tell me how to create the gcode for running the speed tests you showed in this video.
Greetings 👋. I have build a few CNC and by far fixed gantry is the best type for precision. The Gcode was made in a CaD program like fusion 360, just cutting a circle in the air are different speeds for example.
@lt-custom Thank you for your reply. The problem I have is getting hold of the type of extrusions that 80/20 Inc make are not available in Europe/UK and the only way to get hold of them is someone can bring when travelling in our direction but depending on the lenghts/weight that can also be a problem. The nearest quality one can get to strenght is maybe getting profiles supplied by Mitsumu but their prices are very expensive for small orders. BTW - did you ever get round to covering the x-axis with Epoxy? Would love to see more videos of your cool machine milling different materials. Take care my friend.
Hi Yes the Twin 360 will fit both cases. But for the Evo you will need to select the extra option of C brackets ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QceyBZdExB8.htmlsi=fvbc9o49q0oIxvpL As for radiator sizes. I try 45mm thick and no problems there. It could fit thicker you just need clearance around the GPU or top of the MB
The case is the Lian Li 011 XL. and the Radiator were Black Ice 360mm 45mm thick The reservoir could work only various case. Including some of the new lian li Dynamic Evo’s
