Bro was with me this afternoon and helped me alot, we managed to drill all 4 bases, taper the mounting holes and cut some more plastic for res/airtrap/fill point
![]() I'm pretty satisfied with that small circular saw, it cuts 1" plastic like butter, nice and clean ![]() #Rotor, thx again for this simple and beautiful design ![]()

I had to assemble the tops and bases to see how it's gonna look like when finished, and...more than happy, even the edges of the tops are not polished and bases are just sanded to 400 grit, still lot's of sanding to do. The small imperfections in the drilled channels are caused by vertical drill spindle play of circa 1 mm and the drill bit tend to bite into the plexy and make those pits.
Anyway, I'm more than ![]() ![]()

Thx
![]() Here are polished edges of the tops, lexan tends to 'wrinkle' on the edges when flame polished, you gotta do this very carefully. Also, one thing I really hate doing while making the block is sanding, so I figured a quick and dirty way to do it, probably sacrificing flatness of the base, but not that much. I used this little sanding device to vibrate the base on the sanding paper placed on thick plexy for flat surface. It worked great, sanded to 1500 grit (400, 800. 1000. 1500) ![]()

I was lucky to find a local machine shop willing to make those, now they know me cos I'm 'that one that makes funny stuff with 'puters'
![]() ![]() They were a little bit too long, so I took a hacksaw while the barb is in the drill press and 'lathed' it to desired length ![]()

Thx guys for the shared hopes
![]() After 12 hrs of drying, the silicone settled and now leak testing is in progress...No leaks for about hour and a half ![]() ![]() Gonna leave them running for a few hours more just to be sure ![]() happyhappyhappy ![]() /edit: got myself a new chuck, the old one started to pi$$ me off, guess inside it the threads are damaged, sometimes it just won't open or close the jaws...that's settled now ![]()

awesome work there bud. don't see to many ppl around that do it from the ground up like you. that flowmeter is a nice piece of creative modding. i still remember that rather crappy looking flowmeter in your first case. you've come a loooooong way dude.
cheers from g.l.
