Alex: Distro day Everyone: Yaaaaaaaaay! 😆😆😆

This is why i love this channel so much

Your work is a true testament to what can be achieved with a good CNC machine...love the videos!

Wow. That's beautiful. could never imagine seeing this done when I was younger.

Wonderful job here, Congrats!

Lookin Forward to this build.

Beautiful work man, just beautiful.

Very well done. Very informative.

Without a doubt the best pc modeller that i have ever seen !!! Incredible. We need your background alex if you may

like the vids, its really hard to stop staring at your stache. its so symmetrical.

wow dude.. this is great and so much work and skills..

Excellent video Sir!

Nice work!

great video! keep up the good work sir

I would like to see more on how to work with the CNC mill. How do you fix the parts, what security measures must be taken to protect you and your tools. how do you make the final cut? Changing tools etc. I am kinda hesitant with such things, mainly because of lack of experience.

Hi Alex another great video, you mentioned coolant, what system do you use and what fluid do you put in it.

Look forward to seeing that distro in operation, very nice. What sort of life do you get from the small polished ball end mills cutting acrylic? I am guessing it's pretty good?

Well done!

Great vid! How deep is the o-ring groove and what is the diametre of the o-ring cord?

I remember seeing this in the earlier stages while you were working on it. Looks great -chroma

How about a distribution block that controls the water & the air? That has channels of empty space in the distribution block to control the air flow in & out of the case. The fans could be mounted within the distribution blocks with the fans out of their square housing & mounted in round housing built/cut into the block.

Something I've never seen is a CNC 3D milled distribution shape that takes more than two sheets of acrylic. What I have running around in my head for a few years, popping up now & then is a distribution shape that is part of a dual loop, where lines of the other coolant runs through the other distribution block(s), & the distribution blocks are odd shapes with multiple plates with multiple o-rings. Jigsaw puzzle pieces to fit only that build, that case, with particular components, MB, GPU, PSU, RAM, etc.

This guy does what high-end system integrators have been doing for years he's amazing

Another good video!!

Insanely epic! 😍😍😍😍

Nice work

Beautifull work

Amazing! What Spindle rpm and feed you use for 6mm mill?

Build my 3960x corsair 1000D monster and im using your video's as not only training but motivation. Fantastic work sir keep them coming. How about a video describing your methods for visualizing and prototyping your builds? Your flow if you will. * went and looked at your playlist... my bad thats covered lol* Cheers!

Wonderful video. Very intriguing. I was wondering if anyone knows where I could get a custom water block/ reservoir like this made and roughly how much it costs? I just built my first pc and am planning on water cooling in the future.

you have an awesome job :)

Don't apologies you deserve million views in everyone heart.

0:43 - how do u get that kind of color change in the fluid? I always get smth flat between...

Amazing engineering. How long does it take to clean the workshop after milling like this? :) Debris is everywhere. Did you ever try flame polishing the acrylic?

Wonder how much itd be to get a front distro plate made for the o11 xl

Hey bit tech there are time you are cnc machining Metal and at the end sometime the edges on it is at a 45° angle how do you do that? Is it Deburring?

I like Alex's choice of tool brand. Maybe Bit-Tech will get him a Datron Neo to make distro plates on...

Would it be possible to flamepolish the machined surfaces, or is the danger to round over those desired crisp edges too great?

Nice Job - do you build some parts for folks like me too? I search for distroplate/reservoir into my corsair 280x rgb white... thanks for answer maybe ;)

I use Aspire for my cad/cam. It's normally $2500 but I for a few people on ebay selling it for $15. It's not a true 3D but 2.5D is much easier to use in my experience and since it is primarily used for use within routers it has much more intuitive features optimized for routers and has auto roughing, primary cut and clean up pass based on the size of tool you want to use. I have not made a water but I have done a bunch of wood stuff. I am curious if there are reasons not to use thicker acrylic? I just looked at Amazon and 1"/25mm sheets are only about 2x the price. I was thinking or doing a reservoir or even a 2 sided water block with overlapping paths with different colors. I have not seen anything like that yet and think some cool designs could be done that way.

Is there a secret or a suggested method when installing screws and fittings into distro plates to reduce the risk of cracking the acrylic? I'm building my first and don't wanna break anything!

Alex is Einstien of Distro.

man I miss this channel

where can I get that type of custom water packings?

5:38 aCtIVatE WinDowS 😁

Hi Alex, what type of coolant do you use?

Question: when you're designing this, do you have to take into account the various exact sizing of the seal rings, or can you just make the rings to any size you need, so it's not quite so necessary?

Would you do an episode on a distro plate without o-rings and screws? Like the one you showed in the 1000D build.

Please can anybody tell which software he is using especially for internal threading ?

What is the black base called that you are using?

Do you offer the fusion model online somewhere?

Hello, New subscriber here. Just found your channel with this video. Incredible! I'm not really a PC enthusiast (having only built one recently). I'm more into building hobby robotics. I like using clear plastic in my robots for both aesthetic and practical (visibility) reasons. However I use polycarbonate instead of acrylic mostly for its machining properties - I find it more resistant to shattering when drilling and cutting, and that it's stronger, and easier to thread for bolts. So I have a couple questions. (Please refer me to other videos if you've answered these before.) 1) Do you ever use polycarbonate instead of acrylic? 2) If so, how well does it machine for your purposes? 3) One of the commenters below mentioned flame polishing. Have you ever tried to "acetone polish" the water channels? Thanks for this amazing work. I'll be looking through your stuff.

saw the mustache and hit subscribe!!

Link from the polishing end mill?

you do custom distroplates? Just Curiousity.

How does he get the o rings all the perfect size?

How much do you reccon it would cost to have this made by someone else? Roughly estimates? Is there some parts of the machining that is more expensive then others, or rather if I design my own distro plate what are things that really ramps up the price? Thanks for a great show? I was quoted 95 euros for one side of a distro pump plate that you made a tutorial of earlier, is that a fair price is is it a rip of?

11:46 can you possibly put up a link of where to get the g1/4 thread mill from please many thanks

Do you make plates for order? If so where can I place an order

The surface of the milling path is shiny, can you tell me how to do it

would it be possible to get a gpu water block made for a gigabyte geforce rtx 3060 vision oc?

Who in the world is qualified to dislike this?

Are you running an alcohol mist on the router?

Question: What kind of screws do you use to tighten these?

Have you ever copied the pleix from a retail GPU cooler (example EK) & added in a res pump combo? Either making it longer, or fatter. ...guess if you wanted to you could make one replacement plexi that has the combo res/pump(s) & replacements for both the plexi from the top of the retail CPU & GPU water coolers. Just thinking this if built would only need one tube run, a single loop with the heated water from the chips going to the radiators & returning to the reservoir. ...guess this would look very boring unless you were going for super tiny sff build.

Amazing work! Please make me a distribution block for my Lian li case

*Clicks on thumbnail* *pauses video right away* *Hits like button* *Resumes watching*

Have you ever considered doing these with no o-ring seal? I mean you could skip all of the bolt holes, all of the o-ring seals, and do nothing more than the fluid areas and then use the same kind of acrylic adhesive that is used to build fish tanks... That would give an even cleaner look

Работа действительно великолепна.

are you using auto-desk inventor to make your 3d models????

where did you buy parts for Kastom cables?

wow can't wait to finish on a project ... great DIY cooling board - time to learn and accept what cannot be done technically like looping an ICE cold chiller into the BOARD itself ...

What’s up slacker! Hope your staying safe.. looks like no computex for us :( love the video

nice

How much does this machine cost ?

I would like to Recamend you my fav. Chamfer mill Witch is a 3 flute Carbide chamfer mill from Dixie tool

Will u polish the angle parts?

I need a Distro Plate for my MBX MKII ... Can you make?

No entendi ni madres, pero te puedo decir que me encanto :D

I want distro plate for my rajintek enyo case sadly dont exist

like ya stache

Can you design the drawing?

Super Super Super broooooooooooooooo......

wow love to get a one off distro plate made for me am to dumb to do it my self

Great work, just doesn’t seem like it hold much coolant at all really.

I bought the distro. It self is way to thin and lite for use with d5 pump the mounting brackets are really nice. the distro itself is 2 thin and light and flow is highly restrictive. would I buy from him again ? ONLY IF HE GOES THICKER like EK WHICH I have bought 3 of since I bought his. EK did it right. I buy around 25 of these every year and every day it gets better.

You have a nice beard. But I want to cut and run away. LOL

don't apologize, try to filter the noise out: www.makeuseof.com/tag/remove-ambient-noise-audio-files-audacity/

Your speech is much quieter than the stock music which is really hard to watch (I keep adjusting the volume and miss what you are saying).

Alex i have a question for ya about a custom block i am not sure if the idea would work but would love to ask you one on one so i dont give my idea up to someone else if it is possible.. if you can take my question please send me a message and ill explain my idea.

Are we able to request you to make us a distribution plate on commission?

Tash a roo :)

:3

bikini bottom energy

Plz bro

Dude, your moustache is super distracting lol

first :)

second :)

Activate windows!

Way the f too many adds bro. Double adds and 5-6 sets of them. Your video is 19 minutea long. F that dued not even traditional tv is that greedy.
