Project updates - fan grill
Posted : Thursday, October 19, 2006 by johnybravo at 10:38 am
I am going to make a blow hole at the top of the casing to let hot air out...
A custom-made fan grill will be accompanying that blow hole.
First i will have to mask the acrylic sheet and outline the size of the fan grill.
Next i made a template of the design in photoshop, printed it out and cut the template out to be traced on the masked acrylic sheet.
The design has been outlined and ready to be cut out.
As you can see i have used a drill to drill small holes and slowly saw/file the unwanted pieces out, this is a rather tedious process when you dont have the proper equipment, e.g. - Dremel!
I am 90 percent done here with drilling and filing and sawing the bits out.
Completed fan grill, this is not a UV acrylic, it is normal clear acrylic which was painted with some fluro spray can earlier.

ah.. I see now you no longer need my old PC parts. Besides, it's a miniATX, smaller than yours.
Btw, have you thought about using a hot airgun to soften the plastic before cutting? Or just using a solder gun to make the holes? I used that the last time on the acrylic project i did for my car.
Nice "J" blowhole btw
