Hi, i would preffer to have a screwed barb on the acrylic, i already have them, the glued solution doesn't seem to me like very safe.The inlet is going to be in the center, with a good pump i'll be able to force the water trough the channels right ?The outlet will be in a top corner, not sure yet...maybe top middle.

I have one question for you, the copper block is 10mm thick, i managed to chop 4mm, more or less, with the dremel, and about 7mm in the midlle hole, is it enough for the heat transfer to be good or i have to "chop" some more on the sides to get like 3 or 4mm thickness to yhe bottom ?

The thing is a little rough inside, not that smooth, that is actually a good thing right, as it makes more water to "turbolate" inside and get a better heat transfer...am i thinking wrong ????

I'll try to have some updates as soon as possible...
