CYBERPUNK 2077 YAIBA KUSANAGI

[mayhemmodz]

hi guys, I proceed on other fronts
support arrangement to fix the I / O cover on the motherboard I take advantage of a screw already present on the motherboard

supports for fixing the panel steel rods cut with a threaded pipe cutter for M3 screws

lower "fairing" cover panels and grille fixing for the 200 mm fan
this side will be quite complex because there will be plates that will be overlapping

 

[mayhemmodz]

hello everyone, I state that I am speeding up the processing of this mod because the work is so much,
today is the turn of the front covers ...
as I always do I start with a cardboard template to see the overall dimensions and folds I can cut and redo as I wish until the result is satisfactory
only when I'm sure will I cut the acrylic

after this I proceed with the cut

finishing and measurement control

now I will make cuts because part of the panel must not bend but remain straight and have no marks
I could have done some additional covers but visually it would have been too heavy at the sight of the front design.

well now there is the most delicate part the bending, I use a self-made bender that I use in all my mods
this one

place bits of metal there where I don't want the bender to leave heat marks

and here it is all went well.

these little unfolded bits will allow me to hide the ugly to see shock absorber hooks.

and here they are assembled, they still need to be well finished

see you soon guys.

 

[mayhemmodz]

hi guys a lot of work today, as always I specify that all the pieces are hand-worked duqnue without the use of cnc or laser cuts

well as always happens to me I redo the feet that I don't like them anymore so FEET 2.0 let's go !!

I studied a design that goes well with the rest, I take the curves and corners of the case

I prepare the threaded spacers to be inserted between one element and another.

once tested, finished, sanded and double checked, I proceed with the assembly

the elements overlap interspersed with data that I use as thickness and the cylinders previously cut and threaded
if I wanted to widen the base of these feet all I have to do is insert more thick bolts on the external ones, but I will decide later.

here it is concluded, obviously they will be inserted in the lower part of the anti-vibration rubber and painted in matt anthracite gray with metal signs, like other elements of the yaiba

I just have to try them on the case to verify the stability and the visual effect.

the trim has risen a few centimeters I don't mind also because another cover panel will be inserted under the case to emulate the engine bumper

See you soon!!

Very nice. For some reason reminds me of K9 though

 

[mayhemmodz]

it continues without respite I work is a lot and time is running out ..
today preparation of the side covers of the support arms, let's start ..

I got a cardboard template to calculate how the piece will be made, after many cuts and resizing here are the parts to cut out and fold on the acrylic.

still some small improvements and we are ..

 

[mayhemmodz]

today technical tests on color.
I finish the new feet by painting them with matt anthracite and then with a solvent silver finish.

no doubt about the talken products, even if they do charge, they are always at the top.

I help myself with a rag soaked in silver and slowly I do nothing but follow the edges and go over them if they are not sufficiently defined.

but now i can't wait to try this one

to be precise, the color of the yaiba kusanagi is a non-metallic anodized red even if this paint is the most similar and is more available on the market, the metallic paint has crystals that reflect the light
the color changes according to the reflected light.

this is I / O prepared previously.

also on here I will pass the silver to simulate the erosion.

 

[mayhemmodz]

today we proceed with the completion of the rgb i / o panel previously painted in metallic red

creation and application of decorative elements and ARGB leds

matt anthracite paint

here you can find all the processing steps

ARGB in action

 

[mayhemmodz]

It is with great pleasure that I announce the addition of a new SHARKOON sponsor
who sent me these two spectacular peripherals that will be modded in cyberpunk 2077 yaiba kusanagi theme
let's talk about the SGK4 skiller rgb gaming keyboard and the SGM1 rgb mouse

here the unboxing

 

[mayhemmodz]

the led tray is finished use the small but very efficient ARGB 5V EKWB led strips
we were left to the construction of the 2 panels today painting of the upper panel installation of the leds and test

the metallic red to get as close as possible to the one in the sample is necessary to give a coat of white, with primer primer it tends to darken because this metallic color is not completely covering.

now the underside

white also serves to make the light extend better on the acrylic

I take this opportunity to paint even the motherboard and M2 heatsinks

since there are .... also some covers of the case.

here is the finished tray ..

for the most demanding small video with music ....

 

[mayhemmodz]

we proceed construction of the bumper ...

the covers on the top are divided into 2 parts to facilitate my work, the final part of the tail will be LED with cyberpunk 2077 logo

side covers also here I will make various pieces that will be joined a little at a time

[VIDEO]

the pump and the tank will be in evidence essentially the covers will run around the tank will be filled with red liquid ....

 

[mayhemmodz]

well a lot of work .. modification of the frame (another time) on the back yaiba I turn the illuminated logo but to do this I need to create a space where to place the led strip I take advantage of the support.

ainting of the pistons, base of altracite gray and silver finish with solvete talken (a bomb)

and now silver finish, these pistons will hardly be seen but I want to take care of every aspect.

an LCD screen will be placed on the front the cyberpunk logo will be displayed in loop

in the meantime other panel painting ..

 

[mayhemmodz]

side panels where the air inlets will be present later everything will be clearer.

folding for 3 times

I realize that the acrylic has deformed in cooling down I have to fix it with putty to keep all the lines flat I apply some fiberglass putty to fill the curved areas and then some body filler which is much smoother and workable.

give a coat of primer to make sure that the surface is completely smooth and without holes.

much better but I already see that areas need retouching ..

I proceed with a coat of primer on the bracket frame (coolermaster) for the gpu and suspension arms after coat of anthracite gray

 

[mayhemmodz]

now it's time to install the 5 "LCD screen it will be positioned on the front and will contain the looped CYBERPUNK logo first I create the supports I do not want to see screws outside the case and I prepare the 2 guides on which the monitor will be mounted

I calculate the measures and thicknesses well

I found these beautiful threaded nuts, in Italy they count an eye but on aliexpress they pull them back ..
they have finally arrived and therefore I put everything together I drill a 4mm hole and place the data on top

with the soldering iron all I do is place it on top

with the soldering iron all I do is place it on top and as if by magic the acrylic around melts all around and sinks into butter and then cools down immediately

great a clean and fast job

now it's time for the very delicate stage placement

my faithful glue ..

to best position the whole use as data shims and washers.

there he is..

 

[mayhemmodz]

today's work, creation of the housing of the 2 SSDs positioned on the outside of the case well visible on the back the discs will also be modded and painted first step I disassemble them and prepare their surface with primer-

prepare the structure .. if I have not done wrong my calculations should be like this, the graphics may change and it is temporary.

I create the threaded supports for mounting the case panel ..

I still have to decide well the color for the paint or metallic red or anthracite ..

 

[Taraquin]

Awesome project mate!

 

[mayhemmodz]

I create a panel that will be led with samurai logo ... will have two functions the first to fill the inside of the case and the other to hide some cables as well as give a nice extra touch to the whole mod. I start with the construction of the panel that will follow the shape of the motherboard tray

and now the support, an angled aluminum strip and I use it as a support will be fixed to the central plate of the case

aluminum bends very easily but cannot do it too much otherwise it breaks, the position of the corners must be studied well and moved as little as possible ...

the LEDs will be positioned on the side in the recess of the strip

in the meantime, touch up on the base structure of the case and then go to paint

 

[Space Lynx]

you have insane dedication, I can't commit to anything that long LOL

 

[Splinterdog]

Remarkable. I'm lost for words on your planning and attention to detail.

 

[mayhemmodz]

thank you guys!

 

[Deleted member 24505]

Amazing.

Have you messaged CD PROJECT RED? to show them what you are doing?

 

[mayhemmodz]

Amazing.

they are aware of the project ..

 

[mayhemmodz]

painting application of silver (I will save you the dilution because done other times) these are all the panels that will make up the internal structure and that will decisively strengthen the whole case support panels, led door, and main panel on which the motherboard will be mounted.

ssd bay done

now after months the yaiba begins to unfold and show itself in all its glory for those who have followed me in these months will feel great satisfaction in seeing the assembly some lateral supports. essentially these panels are connected to each other with threaded steel cores and thicknesses keep them in place it was very complicated to distribute all the space as everyone knows I don't use machinery and everything was hand made old school.

now it's time to insert the structure inside the frame and fix everything permanently ..

here is a lot of anthracite gray but it will be 40% when all the external parts in metallic red are inserted

 

[witkazy]

Old school rulez

 

[mayhemmodz]

I assemble some parts of the fairing to realize

I do not exclude adding other parts in acrylic to accentuate the line of the yaiba

I proceed with the construction of the upper aerators

then I will insert the slats inside painted in anthracite gray, creating a contrast with the metallic red

is time to paint some parts, the weather is not favorable, it rains ... but I have to go on

provisional assembly of fan grill

I have to calculate the dimensions for the cables inside even if it seems absurd there is little space.

silver finish on some parts

 

[witkazy]

Respect, so glad You gave scratch build a chance .Nothing more satisfying and frustrating at the same time
