Thats cool, bit I would like to talk to the forum owner about posting the review on the site as content. I will let you know.

Ok so yea. Small update. I didnt get much time to work in the shop today. I was tired as hell and woke up very late. I went out last night and had the best time,... Myself and several friends went to hoboken and partied our asses off. HOOOOOO my god. We didnt get home till like 4 - 5 in the morning. So much fun. We took a lot of pics. As soon as I get them I will post some here. Anyways,... heres what little I did today.

Jan-07-2007 (xPRZ5331r & sPT567dr)

Here i'mn cutting off these 3/8" wide pieces to make the arms that will hold the ring structures to the shafts.


Done.


Now this is how I am going to make the mating surface that will mate with the ring structures for gluing. Using the drill press kind of like a milling machine.


I am cutting a "V" groove that will fit nice inbetween each set of rings. Theres 6 per ring structure. I need a better camera! I need to be able to take macro shots. This camera sucks.


Anyways,... the first attempt, the V groove was to wide or open. I have to give it more angle. I'll do that tomorrow when I get back in there. I have off tomorrow night so I'll be in there all day and night. I want to finish these reservoirs and move onto the the shields. Expect a big update.

No problem, Insane can write up some good reviewstory, sort out the details with him and let me know when you ship sample to him so I can plan in the reviewstory.

Ok cool. Will do that. Maybe I'll send him my copy of this xPRZ I am making now. I will let you know. Thanks a bunch!

[tribaloverkill]

Almost done! When I got back today I will finish these! Then I will start on the shields for them. These these look HOT! OMG!

Here I'm making the arm thingies to hold the ring structure to the shaft. Using the drill press like a milling machine again. Work very well.


I am cutting a groove on the end of the arm thats going to rest against the shaft. Makes a better seal this way. A stronger bind seeing that more material is touching. I have done this before.


See that little groove? I do it just enough for more contact but not to much. I'm only using an 1/8" nit there. The shaft is 1/4".


This time I am gluing the arms to the effect first. Not like the last time where I glue the arms to the shaft and then slide it in. I wouldnt be able to do that this time.


All done! Ready for assembly!


Here there are glued together and ready to be ground down to shape.


How wicked is that!


OMG HOW WICKED IS THAAAAAAAAAAAAT! Look at the weird reflection on the inside of the tube! kind of like the rings are twisted into bowtie!! I bet it's sweet looking when it's spinning!


OMG,... it's like breath taking. You have to see these things in person. These pics do nothing for these res's.


That is just nasty looking. Man.


Here I have all of them sanded down to 120 grit and ready for wetsanding.


xPRZ5331r's with one shadow version.


sPT567dr's with one switching version.


Here's something I have been keeping from you,................ a snapple reservoir. I call is rezapple! How cool is that! It look just like a snapple bottle! I bet that would look HAWT inside ANY machine! People will be like,... "Hey,... is that a snapple bottle you have there for a res?", You'll be like,...."Hell yea!". Looks just like a snapple bottle. Where do I get these ideas from! AHHHHHH!


Here's one fo the zPRZ's. Check out the new overall shape. I think it's hot because it look simple and more flush? Or sleek? something. What do you think?

[SupReme]

There are just no words to express how cool, awesome and wicked sick it is...

I really want that i had half the mod skill you have...

[1N54N3]

Quick question... Is the central support pillar (for the rings) going to be hollow? It might be an idea to make it large enough to put a UV CCFL in. Then you would have a really nice UV lighting effect. Just my two eurocents...

BTW, honoured to be actually get a change to review a original Tribaloverkill reservoir

[SupReme]

w00t?

We're getting a review of one of those? Cant wait!

[Snobke]

OMFG

I can't wait to see this mod finished!! You should really participate in contests with this baby

[Jeroenotje]

OMG, the result is even better then I thought! The reflection, perfection, it's all sweet! Amazing work man. Keep on going!

What (type of) glue are you using? Or did I missed something? (might be a very stupid question)

[tribaloverkill]

RESERVOIRS ARE DONE! So damn cool!

Jan-11-2007 (xPRZ5331r & sPT567dr)

Here they are! Complete! I would of posted this a couple of days ago but I F@#$ed up two of them and had to rebuild them after making some parts. I forgot to glue and area on each reservoir. I kn ew thhat I was absolutely screwed at that point because I already did all the sanding and grinding. If I glue after that it will craze, which it did. No big deal though. While remaking those I made a 5th xPRZ!


Lit up


Again,... look at the reflection.


Here are the sPT567dr's! Now,... these are cool but the color of the water is kind of pale. I was running out of coloring. Just use your imagination.


See how one switches the colors and the other keeps the colors on each side?


I turned the res's in this pic.


Now,... here's the SHADOW xPRZ!!!


Basically a tinted acrylic was used so you can use an color of coolant inside the res. Looks very weird and DARK looking,... like scary dark. I was scared watching it

Now,... there is a small problem I ran into when I turned these reservoirs on. The jet from the inbarb is pushing the spinfx up against the bubble trap. When I first turn it on you can see it hesitate to start because of the fact that it's being pushed up. The reason being because the hose barbs and to far from teh center. They are right under the ring structure. When I send these to acryan I am going to sand them an illustration with details on how to fix it. I would fix it now but It would be a wasite of time. These are only prototypes. They turn each and everytime I start them. It's just the 1 - 2 second hangup on start. Anyways,... going to post these on my product polls. I expect each and everyone of you to vote on them!

Weld-on #4 is what I use to join acrylic. What do you guyz think about the sPT's? Honestly.

[Dutch_Patriot]

Do you have some more info about that weld-on #4 or a picture from the "bottle"

About your sPT's I realy (honest) like them, it realy has some kind of artistic form in it. And it reminds me of films with special sirums in the tubes

Edit: never mind just found some info about that weld-on stuff: http://www.ridoutplastics.com/ips4.html

[tribaloverkill]

You do like them? I am kind of iffy about them I mean they look cool but,... i dont know. I have to send these to acryan for them to make. I just want to know what you guyz think before I send them. I have to send them this week.
