Finishing up on those pipe clamps…

-A sturdy little lexan clip to fit over the top.

-Here it is hooked over the plexi part.

-A close fit. I needed it to clear the hardrive bay… and it does!

-still kicking some ideas around… like adding these scraps to the sides.

-More deburring bit torture. Hand feeding this was a mistake. I spent an hour sanding the wobbly parts out of the groove. Early on the bit got loose and started moving. What can I say, I was still sleepy.

-The still unfinished pump plate. The little square was milled out to hide where the bit wandered. I think I’ll fit some blue plexi in the hole later.

-Mounted and glued the pump plate. I’ve seen this shape before too…It reminds me of ‘The Tick’ somehow.

-I used the Rotozip to cut a rough floppy slot.

-Another handy trick: I use a chunk of stainless angle to keep my file at 90 degrees to the work.

-The test fit of the DVD and floppy drives.

-OOPS! A classic mistake! I’ve lost count how many times I’ve done something like this.

-Fixed… sort of…

-Fitted a strip for the pipe bracing.

-Soldered and sleeved some wiring. I’m not showing pics of my soldering for a good reason. It sucks!
