CYBERPUNK 2077 YAIBA KUSANAGI

[mayhemmodz]

step back but necessary, I realized that I don't like the side panels anymore they are too protruding and from double pega it widens the internal space a lot and since the temple tightens .....
I decide to do them again ... youppyeee !!!

this is the panel ..

proceed with the realization of the internal slats to emulate the air vents.

I calculate the thicknesses of the acrylic elements well, i.e. 2 mm for the slats and 4 mm for the thicknesses, everything must fit together perfectly otherwise it's a mess.

I glue everything ..

it is always annoying to redo pieces and you lose a lot of time especially if you have to do them by hand like me but the result pays off in the end .. it had to be done!

once completed, the slightly recessed panels (5MM) will be cut in perfect shape to give a depth effect.

that's fine!

as we have already understood this project even if it started with a very specific idea is a work in progress, some unforeseen parts are realized along the way as in this passage.

I realize that although the fairing is beautiful it is flat, I prepare other external panels that attach to the existing panels to give a depth effect that was missing, these panels will join those already made for the external ones with air vents made previously.

I use the usual procedure, all by hand, cardboard template, study of the measurements, cut with a manual hacksaw and refinish 80 gr sandpaper for smoothing and 220 gr for finishing. obviously all the panels are unique the measures are taken side by side, because this mod is made entirely by hand and the individual pieces are not mirrored.

use of two-component fiberglass putty to close the cracks generated by the bending.

t's time to place them to take measurements for the fixing holes. at first glance I see that they will still need to be finished.

perfection is not of this world but let's try to get as close as possible ..

now guys it's getting serious. preparation of the slats that will be positioned inside the side panels. 2mm thick acrylic interspersed with 4mm acrylic

painting of the side panels that will hook onto those already made previously

preparation of the air outlets that will be positioned at the bottom ..

lots of patience....

we assemble everything.

the paint is fantastic but will be worn and YAIBA graphics applied

When a problem is created, the solution is a must, but sometimes it happens that the ripiuego proves to be better than the initial idea, as in this case. The fan of the 200 mm coolermaster takes up a lot of space on the back and therefore I don't know where to fix the controller what remains is right, the cables, so how to do? I lack space so I have to create it ... the ek waterblocks controller (I know it has software problems and its sale has been suspended, so we look forward to the new release ...) I place it on a low, I create a crankcase to emulate the oil pan of the motorcycle, we will apply finishing wear and logos at the end, since it needs specific measures I build it from scratch.

I fix everything with glue and finish with fiberglass stucco to consolidate everything.

and here it is, primer coats, grouting with metal filler, and when the surface is good enough and smooth anthracite gray coat

I will also pierce the lower fairing.

he casing will be hooked from below and will contain the controller and the related rgb and fan power cables ...

construction of the partial turbine cover

added threaded bolts on the master cooler fan for easy installation.

 

[mayhemmodz]

realization of the last upper front and back cover panels
I do all the tests on paper when everything is in measure for the folds
I prepare the acrylic sheet that will be folded, puttyed and fixed to the case with M3 countersunk screws

bending...

the second one, back..

now fixing with fiberglass filler and then for metal bodywork.

install thermo applicable threaded bolts

further modification.

front pannel buttons

wear application with sandpaper.

Can sum this thread up in one word, amazing!! Or Outstanding!!

Utterly brilliant and awe inspiring to scroll through and see everything be built and made to measure. Ah the dream to have the talent to do so!! lol Can't wait for the next update!

waterblock ek mounting on INNO3D RTX 2080 TWIN X2 video card

waiting for the cable riser cooler master to arrive I do some tests, it fills well ...

EK combo positioning on the top

processing and conclusion of the lower panel

processing and conclusion of the lower panel...

CPU waterblock customization seemed right to stay on topic ..

arrivato il riser cooelrmaster..

mounted the ek waterblock on the inno 3d rtx 2080 super twin x2

ready for the custom loop ...

 

[Athlonite]

Now that is freakin awesome

 

[mayhemmodz]

installation of the 5 "monitor on the front panel.

front panel buttons ..

improvement of the internal panel I add more plexi underneath to enhance the lighting.

preparation of external logo panels

ssd covers

cut-out panel cover psu that will contain all the cables..serve for the pipes

 

[mayhemmodz]

problem .... I realized that by mounting the monitor I had to lower the radiator which now protrudes below small unforeseen events that can happen ..
I have to fix it, fortunately they are only 5 mm I prepare a space in the cover and make a lid on it ..

solved..

"italian red" cable installation all by HARDWIRE CUSTOM CABLE MAKER . https://www.hardwire.it

power cable painting

 

[mayhemmodz]

custom loop ek waterblock stuff! I state that it is the first time that I make a liquid system so far I have always used AIO I will try to live up to my experienced colleagues ..

liquid color? red of course

 

[Taraquin]

When do you expect it to be finished?

 

[Athlonite]

Yeahthe suspense is killing us can't wait to see the final edition up and running

 

[mayhemmodz]

bad news. the beautiful metallic paint supports any other type of paint above, duqanue cannot be painted over this installs me to lose another day of work, even if I am reluctant to use adhesives in this case the only solution is to use vinyl ...

 

[mayhemmodz]

liquid and color loading.

 

[mayhemmodz]

we are really in the final stages, after having installed all the components and tested everything, now it's time for goodies .. additional internal covers, this to hide the aluminum arms which are not pretty to look at.

it's time for YAIBA stickers that characterize this theme so much, I had the files they sent me printed on vinyl, the quality is excellent

further monitor tests

other stickers ..

la mod è conclusa presto le foto finali..

 

[r9]

You should be more careful with the tools it's all scratched up. lol

 

[Athlonite]

holy fuck that looks good well done indeed

 

[mayhemmodz]

Some mad handicraft skills right there. The worn finish really gives it some nice depth.

So, do you do this just for fun, as promo or for a case mod contest? Pretty shure it would win a pot.

 

[mayhemmodz]

it was for coolermaster contest in 2020
