custom Water blocks

Personally, given the design instead of CNC machining I would have them laser cut.

Im waiting on my supplier to cut my design for me. They are doing a few freebie style! I like FREE... lol

I have not heard back from hrc, I have sent the plans to my machine shop teacher from back when I was at the local community college. He's gonna have his advanced students make me a few of these. It may take a while to get them back tho.

Hi Kevin,
I have been working with the G codes doing some tweaking to try and make the blocks more cost effective. There is a time issue for how long it takes to CNC the part from a block of aluminum. The end result may not be a marketable price for me to do it considering the original cost of the ESC and adding upgrade compared to the gains achieved.

This is so weird. Your desgns looks almost the same as what I came up with. I never even saw this thread till now. Heres what I've been doing. By hand so they don't look as good as yours. Plus im a noob to a milling machine.

I did not mill the bottom out. It only has a top plate that is sealed with sealer.

While it kinda looks nice, I think having the higher water capacity like mine does is more beneficial. I have no proof to back it up but it sounds legit. Lol


And I knew I wasn't charging enough for mine! Lol

You need to have a separator between inlet / outlet, otherwise the cold water will exit sooner that you want, not cooling the whole surface.
As for the price, you know better how much your work worth and also what materials you are using.

Seperator huh? Lol. If you say so!

Look, this ain't rocket science. If you fill a container full of hot water, put a top on it with holes on each side, then force cool water in one home and the excess comes out the other hole, I can assure you the water in the bottom isn't going to stay hot. The cool water is not going to beeline from the inlet to the outlet.

@ kfxguy - do as you wish in your way, we will do ours. we have tested different designs before choosing this one based on the results; i am not saying that your design is not good, don't be pissed; I am saying that we have selected a different one and different means more choices, right?

Not pissed. Just being entertained that's all. Lol. One may/may not be better than the other. I just feel like the bigger the water chamber, the better. That's just my opinion and what I've found that works good for me. Im no hydro dynamics engineer either...you might be.

I just know my esc stays cool and I've checked the temp with a temp gun in multiple spots and its within a couple degrees of each other. Im not trying to split hairs here as a couple degree difference isn't going to make me lose any sleep at night. Lol
