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 remember the days when jet impingement was the latest and greatest, and the fiasco over in AU over the patent issues amongst other things like elector-galvanization causing clogging etc. And Tygon tubing was a godsend too.

This is really a very cool job. But will there be a sequel? Because I don't understand yet how this scheme will work. There are supply channels, there is a radiator with a discharge channel, but they are not connected. It is very interesting to see how this will be done.
@GENcELL2014
@GENcELL2014 21 час назад
The water channel that goes above the curved fins looks like it ends at a wall and it does in this part but the cover plate that bolts down will have a water channel that directs water up and over into a jet plate (thin sheet of metal with a slot) sitting on top of the curved fins. Water goes through the jet plate then through curved fins from center going outward in both directions, that's why the designs water path has both ends of curved fins meeting back up at output port.

@@Antihistamin82 That was a specific aesthetic choice for this one. I’ve found that for copper, most regular finishing strategies just don’t look that good. The material really likes to show up tooling paths, so I figured I may as well make hay whilst the sun is shining haha.

@albertodalmaso8896
@albertodalmaso8896 2 дня назад
in my opinion there is no point in using diamond tools to make the last finishing pass on a machine like this, because you can have a mirror finish but if the spindle head and bearings have deflection there will always be steps. then the diamond on copper is very useful because it does not suffer from the built-up edge. those light machines I really think that with diameters over 5 mm the entire frame begins to flex and enter into harmonic resonance creating visible vibrations on the workpiece.

Are the resulting lines between the MCD fly cutter passes because of a lack of overlap between the paths? Not sure if its an illusion or not, but those lines in between the passes look raised (for e.g 12:59).
@PraetexDesign
@PraetexDesign 2 дня назад
Aye that’s from the overlap and slight tram error that exists, they’re very very faint though. One of the unfortunate side effects of MCD cutters is they show up every single possible machine defect haha. Ideally you’d want to have a cutter large enough to do it all in a single pass.
