Fantastic work so far my friend!...
You definitely got my vote for an MDPC title through sheer ingenuity. Zero G Chamber Brilliant. Would be even better if you managed to get everything inside the case to look like its floating. But i don't want to start pumping new ideas into your mind. Else you might never get to finish your rig. Ahhaha..

Merry Christmas, everyone! Yes, I'm here on the computer at 12:23 am my time, and it's Christmas Day. You know that you're hardcore when you're checking your project log on the day of Christmas.

Have a look at this, a XS member, Rise, gave me the link to voigts work log, his guide will help make sence of it all.

Thanks for the explanation on the solvent cement, kg. I couldn't find the place in voigts work log that you were talking about, though.

I bought the perspex at Home Depot, so I'm afraid I'm out of luck on that one since they didn't have the solvent cement. Guess I'll purchase it online.

Seems I've missed a lot.
What are you going to use to actually mount the pumps etc to the plexi? Is it going to look like they are bolted to the "air?"

I was just planning to mount them onto a thin foam pad with black screws. Since the pump is also black, they should blend in with the pump. There are brackets that stick out of the base of the pump that you screw down into.

Thats a good point Wezly.
Xion, if you used Petra'sTech "Gel-Stuff" Vibration Absorption Block, http://www.petrastechshop.com/pegviabbl.html
As its clear, it wouldn't looks to bad at all, however, if you cut it up and put a strip between the shelf/floor and L bracket.
That would also work out well and would be out of sight.
Not sure which model DDC pumps you have bought Xion.
But the newer DDC 3.25s (Koolance) don't have side brackets, instead they have two bolts that bolt into the pump from underneath the pumps base, nice and out of sight.

Thanks, kg. Interesting idea about using the gel packs to hide the mounting brackets. I'm afraid that I can't use them underneath the pumps because I don't have clearance. The windows sit at a certain height, and the shelf mounting holes have already been drilled into the Zero-G chamber. So I only have about 1/8" of room to work with or otherwise the res tops will not line up properly with the windows.

Leave it to me to pick such a complex design.

LOL - that's right. Don't be feeding me any more ideas, or this thing may never be finished.

I do have a nice effect that will be on the inside, though, to give the illusion that you're looking off into space. That'll be revealed in the near future.

Thanks!

Very interesting designs. I have looked at your build log a number of times but for some reason haven't posted.

The stuff I always use is tap acrylic cement from tapplastics: http://www.tapplastics.com/shop/cate...43701475342997 .
