Project update - OrenSixGrillz™ (Part I)
Posted : Friday, November 10, 2006 by johnybravo at 12:58 am
I was surfing around and came upon this website - ACRYAN™ and i found a very nice looking grill, they call it RadGrillz™ (water cooling stuff).
The fan grill that i had already made will be replaced with this look-a-like grill instead.
Due to my lack of tools(DREMEL) i knew i couldnt make the exact same grill from one whole piece of acrylic or sheet aluminium(well maybe i could but it would take forever). I decided to create my very own OrenSixGrillz™.
I downloaded the RadGrillz™-Template-1x120_A4.pdf / 24KB and printed it out on a piece of A4 paper & paste it on a piece of cardboard and cut the unwanted parts out. There even are markings for the screw holes.
There are 3 parts to this OrenSixGrillz - The top acrylic, the center wire mesh and the bottom acrylic grillz. I cut two pieces of acrylic with the template design on it. I added the grill measurements on to the other acrylic piece.
Next i measured the acrylic piece onto the wire mesh that i had dismantled.
I was tempted to use my hobby cutter again but knew i would have a hard time cutting a straight line with it, so i used the old bend and press and bend and press method.
And what do you know, it worked like a charm. The wire mesh just snapped off.
The other sides were bent and snapped off.
Stay tuned for more updates...

somehow I've never imagined you to be a computer type of person. But you're doing a pretty good job so far.
Poor poor folder holder.
