Hi Folks,

Well, I've started to get all the gear needed for my customer cooler. I've got some flat copper bar, and some flat allu bar too for prototyping, I've also got some copper tube and some allu tube as well.

My current issue is, how do I bend it ?

I'm trying to make a "U" shape, and as I understand, the common methods are to use a pipe-bending spring, or a pipe bending tool. I havent been able to find an 8mm spring to fit inside my tube, and havent found a bending tool that will make a sharp enough angle.

Any ideas ?
