design a "valve" for watercooling reservoir

nothingTV · 7th December 2015, 09:22 AM

I finally got around to edit and publish a video about a project I did early this year.
The purpose was a screw with a tiny hole (a canal that lets air flow but should hold back water as far as possible). Yeah, not rocket science

but I took the opportunity to show how I used AC3D to design the model.

That's excellent! How/where will this object be used?

It's already in use and I made that for a colleague of mine. He put that on a reservoir of a water cooling in his PC as far as I understood. He told me that due to the warming he had some problems with expansion and possible leaking. Haven't seen it myself but it's still in use since some time in spring this year.
