ok, when i get going on this mod i will spend some time down the hardware store looking at all the differnt options
TO VORTMAX or anyoe else that knows..... will this be able to cut through 1mm steel (the case) and you see in the description, it states it spins at 10,000rpm, i know thats good for a hard drive but is it any good for a rotary drill type thingy....????
Thanks, dragon2039

yea, it should do fine. Here's a good article that deals with using it to cut:
http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1697,1881594,00.asp
Do make a few practice cuts in the scrap area to get a feel for it. It's not as wild and unwieldly as the author makes it sound, but it does have some grab to it that you need to get used to

Remeber that the one i bought is just £15, and its cordless, not mains powered, are you sure it would be able to cut 1mm steel
And i read that article..... my god im scared now, i think im gonna hack the living hell out of it
NOOOO The UT2003 logo isnt exactly a "simple design" as that guy said to satart with, its got points and curves all over it..... Just for the record, how easy it is to do a curve cut with a dremel, is it easy or is it designed for straight cuts?? sorry if im soundiing real dumb here but im new to all this

Ok, iff just take it realy slow and take it as it comes, something tells me im gonna need more than just 3 cut-off discs that they give you. Are all discs the same fitting or what, can anyone popint me in the direction of some extra ones.... also, waht is the fiting system like, do they clip on or screw on or what???

nevermind, i got some.....
it seems everyone has abandoned this thread, dont leave me, i need help!!!!!
Anyway, major revelations have taken place in the time ive been away. Im straying from the actual UT logo thats sprayed on the case at the moment, it's far too complex witha ll the curvy points and ins and outs everywhere, and above all, the logo that ive got would make a crap window, its literally just the big "U" shape, not too good..... im making a custom design....
Now your all screaming, oh no, its gonna look awful, but relax, im a good designer.... took GCSE art and am always drawing etc...... Below is a link to a scanned image of the first design, the next one i'll do will take on more of a circular form.... Dont worry if you dont like the first design, i expect to go through at least 5 before i start to whittle them down
DESIGN SPEC 1:
Feel free to comment/suggest, even post up your own designs, all will be considered.........

id just carve slayer into the side of it, spray painting the case black and putting a red cathode inside to make the slayer red. it would look sick. thats a decent design but i bet u could find something better. im going to try and look. will edit.
dragon2309
P.I Dragon
well, its gonna be UV - red window with UV cathodes inside it, and ive updated my design, just havent got time to scan it in now, will do it tomorrow..... Its a lot more curvy than that first one

Well, after a bit more rounding and pointing, i came up with this, which is just an expansion on the first one, its also a bit taller and more window like.
DESIGN SPEC 2:
any more input.....
*EDIT* - thought you might like to see the current side
There is a cool looking grate/vent below it but you cant see it much, im still deciding what to do with it....

Have a row of fans along it
dragon2309
P.I Dragon
silent fans, LED fans, oh the choices are so much...... and its only 40mm high, so fans might be hard to find..... and remeber its only a 500Mhz system, not exactly a hot runner.....

P.I Dragon
Thats the only bit i was pondering over too, i added those at the last minute cos it looked a bit plain, im just trynig to imagine how it will look when its actually a window, not just some lines on a piece of paper.....
dragon2309
*EDIT* - your pic has only just loaded, i like it, a it too complicated though, and as its my first time with a dremel like thing, i will want to keep it fairly simple.....

right, upon jans recomendations, i made a new design, i dont like it, so i dont think i will be choosing it as a final idea..... its too rounded now, i will roughen it up a lot after i post this one, and then post again with the latest design.......
DESIGN SPEC 3:
New design will be here VERY soon, just gimme a few mins to actually draw it.....

ok, another idea is here. scrapped thewhole concept of the first one, that looked too scripted and planned, nothing like UT at all..... so i changed around, come on from a more abstract angle, this is what i came up with in the last 10 mins.......
DESIGN SPEC 4:
any comments, i think it needs to be illed up a bit on the far left hand side, but in doing that i could well make it look a whole lot more planned and scripted again, and thats not what i want.....

You could always have a 120mm UV fan to fill the gap
dragon2309
P.I Dragon
Ooooh, good idea, i like it, so a hole in the metal case or extend the window and have the hole in the window???
*EDIT* - the case is only like half tower size, and with that design on the side, the gap is only big enough to fit a 40mm fan into, yup, i said a 40mm fan, even 80mm doesnt fit, i dont think its worth it just putting a 40mm fan there. too noisy and useless.
