Final touches, custom water cooling loop and 3D printing details – CMWS19
That is one sexy backside. I did the last vinyl pieces and I’m close to loop filling. Printed a PSU brace bracket to keep the shroud level. Love that two tone of the case now, with matte black ontop, front and back, but the case intact. Makes the characteristic handles pop even more. 3D printed

3D printed custom front for Cooler Master C700P for CMWS19
A picture can say a thousand words, but not sure it can cover all the frustration (cursing) from 200h of failed prints, but I have one more item to manage on my plan for this entire mod. The crown piece to earn the name of the mod – Unhidden | Tribute. But I was determined

Custom dual water cooling loop put together – CMWS19
Learn by doing… Third time is a charm, atlest for me adding this matte vinyl to the top. I got big mod left for the front, so I want two tone. The sides are left original to pay my tribute to the exterior as well. This will be a BIG challenge… Dual pumps and loops

RGB and wire day with some black matte vinyl wraping
I admit, I’m starting to feel the preasure. Just passed 40h straight and still so much work left to do. I’m starting to feel that scary feeling that there is a chance I’ll not make it in time. More coffee, I’m GOING to make it… RGB testing. I’m using the Alphacool Eismatrix together with the

Backside PSU Shroud and MDPC-X cable sleeving – CMWS19
With the previous step of planning the cable management for the backside, I could start the day with making it a reality. Focus was also making the backside PSU shroud cover ready. My idea for the shroud is to combine printed parts with simpler straight handcut acrylic plates. Precision and speed at the best mix.

Backside Hard tube and cable management MDPC-X – CMWS19
With the backside out (again) I could start with cutting hole for the second pump. There it is. Measure twice, cut once… That’s more like it. Can’t hide such a beauty. Also want the symetry with the front as well as making the backside as rich and alive as the front. Everything unhidden. Re-mounted (again)

PSU shroud and pump enclosure for CMWS19
Work continued with the front part of the PSU shroud and the specifically the pump cover. I started testing different design ideas and print solutions. Knew what I wanted as an end result, but not sure of the road to it. After some time I felt I had a solid solution. This is how I

PSU shroud for project Unhidden | Tribute CMWS19
PSU shroud was up on the agenda. With part of the hard tubes done for the loop I need to connect the loop into the PSU shroud. More precision drilled pass throughs As it was time to mount the reservoirs to make those connection I also took some photos. Love the feel of acrylic and

Hard tube custom dual loop. CMWS19 continues
It is always exciting to start with bending tubes. Feels like a water cooled project moves into it’s readiness face. I started bending much earlier then I usually do. Mostly due to all the pass throughs. The loop is really complicated as it is. Making all the pass throughs with hand tools, it’s a real
