6 consecutive hours of work :) - for today. Now you have to take your feet: P

Weapons and hands need to be painted once again because the color is not intense enough.

another 5 hours of work ... about 170 in total ... as this time flies by this project.

Now yes ... my lines on the armor ceased to please me - and I think it will scratch them and repaint elements once more in white ... what do you think about it? - I see that some do not like it either. I also wanted to add some abrasions (silver recesses) as well as scratches and bullet holes. I do not know how to take it too much and I have to look for information on the internet - I do not want to overdo it, and there will only be a few such "additions".
















I also made cable entries - separately for each set of wires (MOBO 24/8 pin, for GPU 2 x 8 and 2 x molex)

The decision has been made - the black lines disappear and will be replaced by the "wash" technique, I will soon make a small sample for you. Today I worked on a rocket launcher - after milling the edges and the whole is ready for painting with a shield with the MSI logo.

The paint is red, so it will be painting in the morning tomorrow

There is real power! :) The shield is almost ready - the last coat of paint will be given at the very end, because I will improve the painting a bit later so I prefer to blow on the cold.

The target disc space is - the same as the SSD card and Plextor. Now you need to do the wiring - white and red black;) - and the color of the fluid probably you prefer red behind the white cities - what is not?

Cylinders done! It got a bit red for the project;) it will be a bit more final (including the liquid;)) The wires from the actuators will be shortened somewhat and combined with the comb at a longer distance to make the whole look unpunished.

Already closer than further;)

On the robot came a few details including two places for 3.5 "disks (on the legs) .Also all the more details - I shortened the wires from the actuators a bit and put on them combs ^^ - it looks great. Next, I'm waiting for a response from the company in on LC - the deadline falls on 15/07/2018 to get to the # CMWS2018 competition.

I hope that it will work - the red braid is already going to me so that I can finish the wiring.

Hi ! Photos from work :peace:



The feet will look like this - one folded, the other must be finished.





To this acknowledgment for Cooler Master for joining the project - participation in CWMS2018 is unchallenged.



The red braid has arrived - the wires are getting farther.

lower armor elements painted. In addition, I checked how the wires look and twisted the robot's feet.













I put 190 hours of work in it until now :). In October, he will be 3 days on the MSI / LC-Power stack at the PGA fair in Poznan (Poland).

Details made on the head - it was also pre-painted.

Wires made in 80% :) now everything will go downhill :)

I need to wrap the transfer cables from the disks - just to make it look like it.

More equipment pics from EK Water Blocks. The block on the GPU - Perfect - Aluminum for black mat, perfectly fit on the back of the robot. The CPU block looks similar, the whole looks consistent. And I'm going to be assembling soon :)

Finishing the blocks from the bottom also does not raise any concerns :) For this block on the GPU has been made available to me for the project - although on the main page this model is not yet available to buy :)

6 hours of work;). Coolers mounted together with reservoirs. There were plenty of connectors and adapters. There were small assembly problems but everything can be done;).

I dismantled the card to set up a block - unfortunately, it was just "material fatigue" and I gave up today.

The eyes in the robot's head got a red backlight.

Now it was left to work - lay the wiring and tie it.
Make plugs to power the pumps - they have power directly from the power supply.

Paint the radiator grips. And improve the painting of some items.

Cutting the hoses. Cut out sponsor logos.

and we pour;)

The radiators on the back look like a particular backpack :) It's great - I'm 100% satisfied.

In the last of the pictures is drawn how the layouts will look like. The robot is huge and it will be undressed separately on the legs and torso to make it easier to transport. For this you will not have to drain the water from the system just to separate it (special connectors that after opening and disconnecting do not let water).

The card is already on the back;). You can see more or less what it will look like. I made today the handles that will hold the hoses from the lower coolers - so the whole will be divided in half;)


















On one of my pictures, my sister with an MSI shield and a gun. He will print this photo because he wanted an autograph from "ROJO";) - that's how he watches it on Youtube. And as I'm going to meet one of her dreams at a Friday event at MSI;).

Is there with ROJO during the event at MSI Gaming where I was talking about the DUAL GEAR project




Along with the "Dragon Team" and not only;)




I talked about the construction of the DUAL GEAR project - and that I take part in the CMWS2018 competition. At the end, they applauded me three times for a very successful project. MSI is satisfied;) And I also :)

Today I managed to paint the handles for coolers;) and checked if the fans work and how they glow. To illuminate the fans from the Cooler Master, I need to install two drivers that are included in the set.











Both radiators at the back received armor-shaped overlays - on these elements there will be black logos of sponsors.



It was also possible to run rubber hoses from water cooling in the lower part of the robot.

One circuit is done - the one on the CPU.

The robot got some red elements (feet and shoulders) - I think that more red elements will not be.

At this moment everything is under control and it does not promise that I will not make it until July 15, 2018

yesterday I started with connecting the monitor and see if the computer will switch on;) Fortunately, it turned out that everything works and you could see the loading of the bios. The disks were also detected so everything was powered correctly.




Unfortunately, the same problems later ... EKWB wrongly turned the pump and there was a leak ... crushed oring; / you need a new one already! Where can I find such an oring now? as I have a week to finish the project ...






Fortunately, I managed to match an oring from the BMW motorcycle (my brother is a mechanic and has many spare parts). The oring itself had larger diameters and was thicker - it took 3 hours to find it; /. Fortunately, it turned out to be flexible enough to fit the original site and the pump was efficient and I could continue the assembly.















I have made elements of the power supply assembly that simultaneously mask its wiring. I have laid down and flooded the circuit and nothing is leaking and it is great! ;)
