I think the Bond franchise will be chiming in for a cut soon, that design is obviously the rifled gun barrel in all of the Bond movie intros! :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

What did u use to get so shinny?
 
What did u use to get so shinny?
To start I used 220 grit sandpaper, Heavy cut Black Polish, 400 Grit sand paper, Less Cut White Polish. It helps I have a 6' buffer although its a harbor freight so you can't touch it while it's on or you';; give yourself a little zap :ROFLMAO: Just Remember on metal you sand in one direction only. Only stopped where I did because I need to get more buffing wheels, I shredded the cheap ones I had pretty good.

Nice design. A couple of thoughts - I know you said you were going to account for 8mm shafts in your designs so that’s good - and necessary for some motors that have shafts turned down to 5mm. Since your already putting lots of holes, maybe add one more near the edge to allow putting a ziptie on to strain relief the fan wires?
 
@Infidel67 …..so,……can we still get these or are you shut down?

cheers,

Kev I will be updating the thread with more details when it's ready, I got to test all this out first, looking nice don't mean it's practical and sturdy, for the other fan bracket after all the rumble I probably won't.

:unsure: let me think about it and where :)
 
So that design above looks real good but it's a pain in the Arse to fish debris out if it catches it, so back to the drawing board, I got a few more...
also I'm out of SS material more coming this week.
 
I can't wait for these bad boys to be ready :ROFLMAO:. I had to order a powerhobby mount the other day and believe me a small part of me died doing it!! I believe in you infidel!

Dang Bro.... No Pressure at all 🤣 I'll do my best Bud, I promise
 
New Design is up, Material will be here on Saturday
Will cut some this weekend :)
Adjustment for bigger Motors will be made accordingly, for right now this is for the 5mm shaft Motors. 8mm will be added, also for the longer motors like TPI. Single Fan and Dual.
If you have anything to add let me know in here, attached is the print, edit it with paint to give me a visual what you like to see changed, a small hole for Zip ties etc.
I will not LOL etch a Custom Name in there, that be Nuts :LOL:
