Prototype of India's 1st Liquid Cooler is Ready

Prototype of India's 1st Liquid Cooler is Ready with New Video

It was designed my me in CATIA V5, then i gave the design to a company where it went through a process named "Rapid Prototyping" where it was converted from a software file to a real life prototype,the process used was SLS (Selective Laser Sintering),the material used is Nylon 11 and Nylon 12,the cost of a SLS machine is Rs.320,000,000 :O ,but i had to pay only Rs.13,800

The design in CATIA V5:

This is the top side on which i'll put a sticker of my company

This part will touch the CPU

The thickness of the block is 40 mm.

VIDEO:YouTube - MVI_5789_x264.mp4
i don't know what's with the video,but it runs 2 times
Test with Swiftech MCR320
today i got some free time and was experimenting the power of the motor and it has a head of 1 feet, also this new video shows how quiet it actually is,the problem with the last video was i used a wrong video converter which added noise while encoding,so this time i used Xilisoft.

Cool

Good to see RP being used in such projects. Please use just one thread to keep this one updated. Remember seeing your post earlier.

Reminds me of my grad school days. I used to maintain a Stratasys 2000 for our design lab. We also had a 3D Systems SLS machine. The finish used to be much better than what you have got (It was a resin based one those days i.e 2k-2002) and FDM process on Stratasys used to give similar texture like your prototype. We also had a Kreon laser scanner for RE. Overall, was fun to work on those.

thanx for ur input

Great to see the prototype ready. Now, we need a working prototype! :gap:

Working on that since last 2 days

Nice to see the progress. One suggestion, try to put inlet and outlet from the top as we have in Corsair H50 and H70.

CM aquagate S1 had inlet and outlet from side and is very difficult to mount on many boards.
Three sides of cpu socket is preoccupied by RAM slot, North bridge Heatsink and MOSFET cooler. And in any case if PSU is top mounted in a cabinet then one is not in a position to install your cooler on the CPU.

Please consider this while finalizing the design.

Very well done...am looking forward to seeing this done.

This is just too cool.

p.s. just noticed. If i got it right, did you pay Rs.14,000/- for dummy plastic parts? :O

How much for the real stuff to materialise? :O :O

if u observe Coolit ECO ALC and Corsair H70 both of them have inlet n outlet from their sides,besides i'll be providing rotating elbows on both the inlet n outlet just like Corsair H70,so it shouldn't be a problem

Rapid Prototyping is a costly process used to check if a given design physically satisfies the customer,n the prototype did a good job,so now it will go into injection molding, which is a much cheaper process

wow man...any idea what could be final price for the whole setup? under 10k?

Nice to hear that you are facing inlet and outlet from top. Few more things.. pumps seems to be a high flow and powerfull pump, so the WC kit will be a sealed or refilled type, and what size and type of rad your kit will have.

it will be sealed but i'm gonna provide a refilling inlet on the Radiator,and for the size of Radiator at start there will be 2 versions: 120mm and 240 mm RAD's

Let me know when u want a review

 

[cyberwarfare]

im also game if u want a review



nice work

Thank you guys, and yes i'll be requiring 3rd Party Reviews when the product is done

 

[rakesh_sharma23]

Cool i will be looking forward for 240mm model.
Are you designing your own rad or taking 3rd party product.

 

[Sudarshan_SMD]

Great.

Now want to see the working prototype.

Best of luck.

Making my own RAD

updated with a new Video

Very amazed with the video. Pump is running. What type of motor r you using to run the rotor of the pump ?
By the way are u using a DC brush motor. if it's so then your pump will not last more that few weeks.

WHY ? cose...
1. Pumps are ment for constant use and DC Brush motor will face huge wear and tear of carbon brush tips.
2. If the loop is sealed and when temperature of water will rise this will increase the pressure inside the loop and result water will get inside the motor via shaft-bush, this will convert motor into a electrolysis chamber.

I have faced this in my first WC Build. Here are few pics of my build.

This is a sealed loop with a DC motor pump. But my motor died every month.
I have tried to air-tight the motor look below, but still water get inside it.

below are the pics of different pumps i made with DC brushed motor, but they all died after constant use.

So please conside a brush less motor for pump.

it is a Brushed DC motor,but what if i use Distilled water or mineral Oil in the Loop ??
