Hi,
there's not that much new except a lot of paperwork. In the last few months I've been able to test the new water cooling system for the milling spindle. This cools the spindle at least up to 30°C room temperature, as it should. I haven't been able to test anything beyond that because it was already midsummer. I've now tested the spindle cooling heater, which was basically installed 2 years ago, for the first time and it works great. The water is at operating temperature within 5 minutes.
The fretting rust of the tool holders is also history. Tool lengths of less than 50mm work great. That sounds healthy. Accordingly, I had to run various tests to find the right tool. One of 6 tools, working fine. The rest is crap.
Now I have to finish the waterblocks first. After that, I'm planning on building a small, cheap active loudspeaker with Chinese drivers for very small amount, which subjectively don't make a good impression. But more on that later. After that, it's back to rehab and then the filter housing will be built. Hopefully that's it and I'll finally have clean air in the workshop. Finally, the final commissioning of the pneumatic tool changer
The No. Uno CPU waterblockproject is continuing in the meantime. I've now received new saw blades from China. And I've received thick saw blades from Germany that I've had ground down on both sides. So either cheap blades from China with a low yield of slots, or expensive reground saw blades from Germany for a high yield. In this context, the sawing strategy also needs to be determined. A new base plate holder for the coldplates has already been milled of 25mm aluminum and will be anodized next week.
Attached are pictures from the production of the No. UNO CPU water cooler.

Hi,
i was busy a long time, but finally i took the time to release one of the 13 upcoming next waterblocks. It’s the Liquid Extasy Minisforum BD790i waterblock for everyone. If someone needs help to realize his project, pls let me know.
Best regards Marc

We will see 
Almost exactly a year ago to the day... and not a step further lol.
I just don't have time to build the filter housing. But luckily I have everything I need, although to be on the safe side I'll be ordering 2 new filters soon if I see this. This is the pre-filter that didn't have a pre-filter. I think it's closed.
In the meantime it's also got a pre-filter that I can vacuum every few months.
I vacuumed it out and reinstalled it. The same with the F9 main filter, which still looked pretty good but is 2 years older than the other two filters. After installing it I had a bit of flow again and the pressure difference monitor came on.
Then I went from 41hz down to 38 hz. That suggests that the H13 final filter will soon be closed and needs to be replaced. But that's OK. 5-6 years of service life is fine.
I have rehab starting at the end of January and will make sure I tackle the case after rehab.
