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!
Wonderful job here, Congrats!
Wow. That's beautiful. could never imagine seeing this done when I was younger.
Lookin Forward to this build.
Beautiful work man, just beautiful.
Without a doubt the best pc modeller that i have ever seen !!! Incredible.
We need your background alex if you may
wow dude.. this is great and so much work and skills..
Very well done. Very informative.
Excellent video Sir!
Nice work!
like the vids, its really hard to stop staring at your stache. its so symmetrical.
great video! keep up the good work sir
Well done!
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.
Fat2Mad To be fair a lot of that info is on the channel already. For instance we have videos on making my fixture plate, vice fixtures, how to machine distro plates and many other pieces in individual distro videos showing how I tackle things like double sided jobs etc.
The issue with some of the other things is that they change depending on machines and so on. If I were to get an automatic tool changer then it would be a very different process compared to a DeWalt router like you get on a shapeoko for instance.
This guy does what high-end system integrators have been doing for years he's amazing
Another good video!!
I remember seeing this in the earlier stages while you were working on it. Looks great -chroma
Insanely epic! 😍😍😍😍
Hi Alex another great video, you mentioned coolant, what system do you use and what fluid do you put in it.
Nice work
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.
Don't apologies you deserve million views in everyone heart.
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!
Beautifull work
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.
Great vid! How deep is the o-ring groove and what is the diametre of the o-ring cord?
you have an awesome job :)
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?
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?
Takes about 5 minutes haha, I've set the place up to be cleaned very quickly. The sides of the machine have 3D printed guards on them to catch the chips, so most of it ends up on the bed, which I just vacuum up with the extractor.
I don't personally like flame polishing, it rounds the edges which doesn't do it for me.
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.
Amazing! What Spindle rpm and feed you use for 6mm mill?
I like Alex's choice of tool brand. Maybe Bit-Tech will get him a Datron Neo to make distro plates on...
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.
man I miss this channel
Wonder how much itd be to get a front distro plate made for the o11 xl
5:38 aCtIVatE WinDowS 😁
Alex is Einstien of Distro.
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?
0:43 - how do u get that kind of color change in the fluid? I always get smth flat between...
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.
Would you do an episode on a distro plate without o-rings and screws? Like the one you showed in the 1000D build.
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?
It looks like he's mad the orings to fit. I might be wrong.
he mades the rings by himself (cut & glue), like almost everything :). If you watch carefully at 12:59, you can see glued part at left. edit: he did a tutorial about that here ua-cam.com/video/UqNWW4yo-o8/v-deo.html
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 ;)
Amazing work! Please make me a distribution block for my Lian li case
saw the mustache and hit subscribe!!
Who in the world is qualified to dislike this?
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!
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.
The surface of the milling path is shiny, can you tell me how to do it
Работа действительно великолепна.
*Clicks on thumbnail*
*pauses video right away*
*Hits like button*
*Resumes watching*
What’s up slacker! Hope your staying safe.. looks like no computex for us :( love the video
Surviving ze lockdown! Got materials in, hardware in, yeah should be good to last a while. I take it the XOC comp won't be held later in the year with the new show dates most likely?
bit-tech thinking of doing a massive online overclocking comp for all instead, no ln2 needed.. still in the works.. I’m going a bit crazy.. might stream this afternoon if I can get time from work :)
@@BeardedHardware You're too much of a slacker to get that sorted though.
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
where can I get that type of custom water packings?
Please can anybody tell which software he is using especially for internal threading ?
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?
Hi Alex, what type of coolant do you use?
Do you offer the fusion model online somewhere?
11:46 can you possibly put up a link of where to get the g1/4 thread mill from please many thanks
Did you find it ? I spent one hour searching this but no results...
What is the black base called that you are using?
Do you make plates for order? If so where can I place an order
Link from the polishing end mill?
nice
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 ...
you do custom distroplates? Just Curiousity.
would it be possible to get a gpu water block made for a gigabyte geforce rtx 3060 vision oc?
No entendi ni madres, pero te puedo decir que me encanto :D
Question: What kind of screws do you use to tighten these?
chicha à la pomme I tend to use 16mm countersunk, hex head, A2 stainless screws.
How does he get the o rings all the perfect size?
I want distro plate for my rajintek enyo case sadly dont exist
I would like to Recamend you my fav. Chamfer mill
Witch is a 3 flute Carbide chamfer mill from Dixie tool
where did you buy parts for Kastom cables?
MrX **Custom
are you using auto-desk inventor to make your 3d models????
Fusion 360
like ya stache
Are you running an alcohol mist on the router?
Super Super Super broooooooooooooooo......
I need a Distro Plate for my MBX MKII ... Can you make?
Will u polish the angle parts?
No need, the milling marks are very faint, they're basically only visible when the light catches them. If you mean the sloping sections, personally I prefer the look left by the ball end mill. I did experiment with polishing them out ages back, but the issue is it made the edges look rather tacky, similar to a plastic Christmas ornament, if that makes sense.
It looks perfect. I just had this doubt because we can see the mills scratchs in the video. I'm building up courage to create my first rigid pipe build
How much does this machine cost ?
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.
It's a distro plate not a reservoir. The reservoirs get affixed into the plate, that's why there are the 2 larger circles for them to slot into.
don't apologize, try to filter the noise out:

You have a nice beard.
But I want to cut and run away. LOL
Can you design the drawing?
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.
Nemesis1ism Eh?
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.
Tash a roo :)
Are we able to request you to make us a distribution plate on commission?
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).
:3
Plz bro
bikini bottom energy
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.
