I still use this tutorial regularly to help me build custom kit for my PCs. Thank you!
I'm in love with this channel to be honest, the more videos i watch, the more i can see how all this incredible work and knowledge shared is totally underrated
Open any dictionary and under classy, you will find a picture of this man. Thanks for this vid and answering my silly questions in discord. Looking forward to the next video.
Such elegant workflow compared to my unorganized work history. I designed my first plate the past few days and I’ve wasted countless hours just reworking things lol. Great work man!
Somehow missed this one, but workflow is so important indeed haha. Until I started doing these tutorials I honestly was pretty messy too, but since then it's made such a difference trying to use the tools properly, 100% recommend the extra time needed.
This channel is underrated! It's really valuable for each PC DIYer!
Another great video tutorial by the greatest water cooling legend! Informative and well made
Thanks so much for your detailed tutorial. Your channel is the reason why I've embarked on a custom case build. While I don't have a cnc router, being able to lay everything out in 3d beforehand is a lifesaver when I am hand-routing everything. Should only take me a few months to get everything sorted as quickly as you seem to be able to. :)
Great vid! Cool seeing all the different ways to make these!
Thank for these vids man. I have always wanted to build a custom water cooling part and try to custom make as many things as I can for a future build. This video is perfect timing. Keep up the good work and helpful videos
Great stuff man. Can't wait to start milling some of my own parts when I finish my CNC router build. Very informative.
Great tutorial. I would like to have seen it all in just 1 take instead of repeating to get it perfect. Seeing what can happen with various mistakes and how to fix it is even more valuable than how to make it perfectly.
Fantasticly helpful! Really quality instruction! Thanks so much!
You jump around fusion like a pro, I am just learning it and feel its a bit challenging, really enjoy your channel
Thanks Alex, great content and how to video!
Thank you so much for these fusion tutorials!
As always great video. Keep it up! always looking for your next video
Thank you Mario!
Excellent work. U are so underrated. Much better than 99 percent of the youtubers out there.
Awesome stuff man:) love the stache.. gonna have to do some stuff together at computex :)
Some of the best content i ve seen for a good while.gj man
I was already trying to do this with an Alphacool DC-LT pump! Thanks for posting!
You read my mind as I’m currently try to design for some integrated D5s!! This will help me out hugely no doubt...
I'll be making this for sure! thanks for sharing the file.
Awesome stuff man. Thanks a heap for sharing your knowledge.
Awesome, just what i was waiting for. thanks!
Simply amazing, I love this channel
Thanks a lot for this. Keep up the amazing work
Estoy viendo tus videos desde Argentina...tu trabajo es excepcional, felicitaciones! / I'm seeing your videos from Argentina...your work is absolutely outstanding, congratulations!
This is awesome. I'm excited to give it a try.
You are a STAR!! Thank you :)
This inspired me to start trying out making stuff in this program.. aaaand i need find some tutorial videos!
Dude!!! I was self thought with fusion 360. If only I had this video 6 months ago
Brilliant tutorial, going to be designing my own case soon, this has helped so much.
Best of luck, glad it’s proved helpful! Have you seen our video on making a motherboard tray btw?
Yes I have, think I watched all your posts now
TOP video again. where have you been man I've been looking for you everywhere, this is what I'm looking for. I already watch every one of your videos. It is a feast for the eyes and ears. Where are you from? What about the eccentric mustache? :D The time of this era has passed. But the videos are divine.
Thank you so much!
thank you for this tut
Thank you very much Sir.
Thank you guys so much for making these types of guides, been thinking of making my own but no where to start but thanks to these amazing guides I now know where to begin. I also wanted to ask, at the end of the video when you show your DP and pump design is it possible to make a channel and port connected to the reservoir on the right so you can install a valve to drain the water?
Thank you!
I might try this in my free time. Maybe you should try making a case next.
Most certainly will be, I’m much more comfortable making cases from scratch rather than Modding them, that’s my background.
All now designing a distri plate ... and than the CNC guy call him what they have to pay ... :D face goes down :D :D
btw thanks for the vid alex !
This be the life we lead eh? Haha
Again thanks for the education. Just finished my first massive pump integrated distro plate, with a ton of inspiration from this video! Anyways, you mention a script for screws instead of manually doing it. Can you elaborate more or do a video on that?
Hello, great video ! I strated my own since and i am trying to make this system directly into the distro execpt the bracket. I wonder something, is it matter if the pompe is pushing up the fluid ? (like if you put the exit port right side but going from middle to top). Also is it OK if the pump get the water directly from the reservoir ?
So informative. A quick question though, on the outlet channel, the channel size is the same width as the input but it's deeper, does this affect performance or aesthetic looks at all? Couldn't the pump have issues pumping enough liquid to fill the outlet channel?
Thank you for the very informative videos :-)
Im considering trying to make one myself.
What your thougts on the pump expelling water directly into a cavity (in all directions) instead of exiting the pump top through a channel?
Great channel. What depth/width is best for oring channels of various oring material sizes?
Will you be making a video on the milling and assembly of the plates as well?
Thanks for this amazing video! Can you recommend a supplier of the material that you use? Is it just cast acrylic or is there a specific grade?
Just cast, although different manufacturers put out better products than others, that said it's really location dependent and somewhat random too. Just be sure to double check anything you get is cast as extruded is so much harder to work with (if you do a mirror plate it will always be extruded for instance, makes those much tougher).
@@bittech1 Thank you so much!
Do you think Polycarbonate would work for distro plates vs acrylic? I am thinking of cutting one a waterjet, but acrylic requires predrilling all the holes and I would like to avoid that headache if I can.
Good luck beautiful in the videos
Hi Alex!
I wasn't able to find any comment of yours regarding the slot-size for the o-rings in relation to the o-ring sizes, except for 2mm.
Your recommendation for 2mm o-rings is a width of 2.2mm and a depth of 1.2mm - 1.3mm.
In my German book of technical standards the values are as follows:
2mm o-ring:
width: 2.8mm
depth: 1.5mm
1.5mm o-ring
width: 2.1mm
depth: 1.1mm
1.0mm o-ring
width: 1.4mm
depth: 0.7mm
Of course these values represent static, axial oriented o-rings with pressure from the inside, so the slots are wider for the o-ring to move outwards, if the pressure on the inside rises. I guess you sized the width down because there is not that much pressure going on in a distro plate but do you have a general rule of thumb as to how you size down those standard values? Or was it a process of trial and error?
My case is that I'm designing a GPU water block at the moment and the tolerances to the adjacent screw holes are just too tight if I was to use 2mm o-rings with your recommended slot sizes, so what would your recommendation be for 1.5mm o-rings?
Thank you very much in advance and greetings from Germany!
where do you get you o rings? I just made a plate but am not sure where to get custom length cords. Also is there an easy way to calculate perimeter length for the cord in fusion 360? The measure tool doesn't appear to have that option
Hi! Is this good for the EKWB D5 ? Because I saw before its a bit different than other pumps.
How much would you charge to repair a distro plate? I accidentally broke my barrowch rhopilema distro plate case on one of the out ports and it's in a very important spot. i'll probably need to fill the hole and cut another next to it or redo the entire front end.
What do you think of the ek spc-60 pump I've heard good things but idk if I trust it
You ever do any flame polishing on your distroplates?
Hi Alex! As usual - amazing work! Thank you so much! Can you suggest someone in UK to cut those distro plates, please? Thank you again!
Parvum Systems or yours truly can help you out there ;)
@@bittech1 I'm going to be designing a distroplate with the D5 mounts for an upcoming build as I type, am uk based and would very much like it if you could manufacture the parts for me. I'm following all of your tutorials and doing it in fusion 360, is there a good contact address to talk further once I have the designs completed? Thanks, Ben
Do the D5 pumps have vibration issues when connected to a disto plate?
I've always put my pump on some sponge, been afraid to solidly connect it to anything due to vibration causing an annoying noise.
I'd imagine such a large mass would dampen a pump more than most case mounting would.
Hey there, short question: For the D5 Pump did you use 59,5x3mm O-Rings?
Could you make the inlet of the pump bigger if you wanted to? Does it change anything at all?
Do you have a link to the jazz music used in the background? It's very chill.
#Douchestache very informative video thanks
Have you made any new plates for the O11 Dymantic xl ?
Do you consider fluid dynamics in some way to reduce back pressure, reduce void volumina or for lamina flow in your dystro plates?
Fat2Mad I did try it once, but honestly it’s the same deal as trying to optimise your runs via minimal use of angles fittings etc. I.e not really worth bothering with for this application. It’s far more important for things like waterblocks where turbulence can actually affect cooling efficiency.
What thread mill and size did you use? What are the thread dimensions for the large diameter thread?
will it work to a have a wider outer ring our will that give me problems i only have 20mm space so i cant use 10mm front
Which kind of o-ring do you use for the Channels?
@Alex, I tried you tutorial, but unable to get the right 4mm fillet on impeller cavity for D5 under F360 (Manufacture). I need help with that. Thanks.
What would happen if the outlet of the pump is in the opposite position compared to the one you show in the video? Thanks for the video, very helpfull.
As in if you put it on the other side? It would probably still work okay, just would be less efficient and likely lose some flow. The pump will still be pushing from the centre point outwards thanks to the impeller design, you’ll have more turbulence if you don’t work with the correct rotation direction though.
@@bittech1 I mean if i put the outlet on the right and not on the left.
Ayup that’s what I figured you meant, would have the effect I mentioned. You could ‘rotate’ the channel about the axis of the impeller if you wanted to maintain the flow direction, so the outlet would be on the right but going up instead of down. Alternatively you could also use a different outlet channel shape etc that’s more symmetrical than the one I used in the tut.

I managed to install fusion 360 student version (free) on my laptop and started designing but I m not sure if my pc doesn't meet the min requirements, the application is too slow, it takes more than 60s for each operation I do.
It sounds like it might be, have you looked up some of the possible optimisations for it? Fusion has a number of features on by default that make it easier to navigate and look at, but which also consume more resources.
On slower hardware it does bog down pretty fast, I can't adequately run it on the NUC I use to control my CNC router (which is the i3 model from 2013).
@@bittech1 wow thanks for the reply, I sort of figured out the issue, initially I used construction lines and then draw actual lines over them which took more calculations and I guess it slowed down.
After I fully became aware of designing things it is quite fast now. I m now kinda addicted to draw things on distros😋
I have designed some themed distro plates (DC&Marvel) which I would love to share with u,would u like to have a look and point out any corrections?
how'd you print it tho?
Hello, I have a technical question:
Pump in EK, aren"t waterproof, so when you refil it you take the risk to put liquid inside the electronic system!
Did you put tropicoat on the electronic of the pump?
Best regards
choptider ah what? There’s 2 sides, a wet and dry side
@@mitchos199 on this pump for example:
www.ekwb.com/shop/EK-IM/EK-IM-3831109843130.pdf
There is no rubber to isolate the outside and the inside eletronic board of the pump;
so when I refil it there are chance to put tiny drop of liquid along the pump and break the pump.
I did it ones.
Now I isolate the inside with silicone.
I wonder, for my next pump If the tropicoat is the beast idear?
How well does this do with noise and vibrations?
I've found them to be pretty good, turned down to 30-40% a D5 is all but inaudible. You won't get results as good as a fully isolated setup but I've always found the performance great.
Is there a possibility to use the d5-Design with other d5 pumps than the thermaltake?
Yup, this one's a real Laing model, all real ones share the same dimensions.
What is the name of the CAD program you are using?
Are top pump parameters correct?
hi can you make a video how to machining this in cnc
Will be done!
Thats a digital caliper but close enough
Came here looking for this comment, lol
A little late in the day, but it's a digital calliper, not vernier (sorry, being a pedant, but I can't help myself)
Can I hire your services to make a custom reservoir?
It's first time I'm first. So, first.
But ..how to grow that mustasch
Can I had that fusion file
Bro, that mustache has to go dude.
Can you dm me please?
Those are NOT vernier calipers. They are digital calipers. Chances are you wouldn't know how to read vernier calipers. But carry on...
schwartzenheimer1 Ok boomer.
@@bittech1 Right, kid. Ya gotta know the rudiments...and get off my lawn.

please drink more water while recording. sounds like you have a mouth full of taffy. the clicking and smacking of your gums is so annoying. good info though.
