Yep nice work but are you sure it won't leak? That would be my concern.

[topolino]

yep!!

i did a pressure test with an air compressor and no problem! btw,a lot pressure!

i would say that..almost blows in my face! ...but didnt leak..

cheers!!

I have built one with house door type rubber gasket. simple and easy. I used the esc finned cooling plate I had removed as the outside plate

Nice job. Nice seeing other ways to come to the same result!
