Awesome work Nate! How many pounds of copper is that block?

What is the difference than? That's gotta be like 10+ lbs.

That actually seems kinda low, though most of it is hollowed out. Either way, it's an awesome block!

GPU blocks would be cake after starting a project like this ;) 
You referring to full sized blocks, or LN2 type

Nate's work. Block for the micro X58. I think I was his first client.
 

 
 

nothing is hard to do, just time consuming when you don't have a CAM program to translate those sexy LCD parts into actual G-code tool paths the the CNC uses.  I have to do everything by hand :(

now granted I know nothing about cnc machines, but I am a CAD student, and these designs  can be drawn 1:1, so my question is there there a program, ie soldworks, autocad etc that you can send your drawings to the cnc machine and have it mill, them, I bet that would be big bucks,
those block are very professional looking nate, I wish I could make them, I could sure use a copper block for my E760 CLASSIFIED, as for the price of copper goes , the price changes in the economy so much, I know because I strip copper wire, whenever we gut places.

Nate, you made your own ln2 withdrawal device a while back, correct? How much did that cost you? Do you still have a link to it by any chance?

I have a cad program at my jon (Pro-E Wildfire)  which I am pretty good with at this point.  Had to self teach.  Designing stuff is cake, its the CAM program which is the money maker.  The tool paths is where its at.  How do you make the CNC cut out the part you just made in the CAD program.  I  have an ME buddy who swears by solidworks. 

well I don't really know " how it works" but it does somehow, I can tell you that I am currently a CAD student with an emphasis with mechanical engineering, but after I get my certificate in CAD,  I am going to Architecture school. But at college we have something called a 3D printer, Now that thing is amazing. Basically you design something in solid works, and then hit print, and a 3D model comes out of the printer. WOW,  Now back to the question about how you send the "drawing" to the CNC machine, I have no idea, but one of my teacher knows all about it and I will ask him on Wednesday when I have my cad class.  The programs I know are AutoCAD, Inventor, Solid Works, Revit ( architecture layout program), but the stuff you can do with your machine is totally amazing, I wish I had something like that at home.

Please don't do something like that if your not comfortable welding, or anything like that... that thing builds up pressure and will LEVEL your house.  If you live by yourself its obviously up to you, but don't wipe out your family.  Make sure you use a cryogenic specific pressure relief valve... or just buy a legit withdraw device.

Oh i know. Maybe you could build one for me. Or i could go to a local welding shop maybe, dunno. That's even if i end up deciding if i need/want one built.
