He could probably go a little thinner but I have used others which were thinner and they always seem to bough out after a while where as these thicker ones he makes are a dream.Quote:

Good reason :)Quote:

cheers
Very nice mounts!!!
I have 5 that just arrived and they are very nicely done...
Not going to flex with those!! Nice :)
Very nice and clean! It looks very sturdy! :)
Did you use it already? No condensation problems with the aluminium?
+1!! Mine just arrived and the quality is great!!Quote:

I love the black. i spray painted this one to see if i liked it, and i love it. I think im going to buy a powdercoating setup. i have expensive brass screws nuts and thumb nuts coming anytime as well. should look slick.
:eek: I wish I had the gear you have.Quote:

Can you work this into a non-snap ring designed evap?
Damn teyber, very nice! very classy :up:
very nice teyber
What is the thinnest alum you would use?
1/8 or 3/16
The 1/4 is very nice but seems like it can be thinner
He has gone very thin for me on request at least as thin as the old steel mach II backplate and it didnt flex....
Hands down my favorite hold down design...
1/8" alu will flex a LOT
i wouldn't go less then 3/16
14/16 gauge steel would be great but cutting steel is just... far from enjoyable.
and thanks for the compliments scott :)
this is just for fun. i have a large bar of 2" diameter copper that i don't feel like selling, would like to use it for something. so i have started
a new little project. I thought of this evaporator design and don't know if it will be great or not perform well at all. too bad i don't have
solidworks cosmos or something (well even if i did have it i wish i knew how to use it). Any comments on this design? it would be pretty
expensive to make and would probably only be for higher end cascades. the slits are 1/32". these were drawn and rendered with free software.

Wouldn't it be better to add a little bit more channeling so the liquid must take a long route around?
Just throwing out ideas.
It looks quite restrictive.
And will be very expensive to make, that's for sure! 3 part construction, which all need to be machined... lot's of time needed to make one.
So back to the drawing board I'm afraid :(
