🍊 orange update 🍊 Sorting out the two power cables... 1) Cut some small holes in the mesh filter to let the power cables through. 2) Removed the material underneath where the clips go for better glue adhesion. 3) Glued two black clips to the inside of the cool air vent. Clips hold down the power cables securely and are easy to open and remove the cables. 4) Repainted areas around the clips 5) Run cables through and put the mesh filter back on Done 😃 #DIY #Bitcoin #Mining #BTC #Airflow #Filters #Cables

🍊 orange update 🍊 Next, I spent a bunch of time thinking about what I could do for the external vents that pull cool air in and let warm air out. I was thinking that I could make something out of metal or wood that would slide in (like a custom vent). I also thought about fitting in some more heavy duty filters so it would act like an air purifier in some way. However, I put all the complexity aside. Luckily I recalled that my friend who built a PC used some nice black magnetic filters. So I bought some of these black mesh filters and some magnetic strips to use on my unit. 1) I cut some of the felt off near the vent holes to make space for some magnetic strips. 2) After some of the felt was removed, I used a knife to score the wood behind it (better adhesion when gluing). 3) Cut the magnetic strips to size and glued them onto the sides of the vent. 4) Cut the mesh filters to the correct size and applied a magnetic strip to each side. 4) These filters easily just pop on and off and they look great especially with the orange light shining through. 🔆 #DIY #Bitcoin #Mining #BTC #Airflow #Filters

🍊 orange update 🍊 Spent some time trying to work out what material to use to cover the miner compartment... After some thinking and research, I opted for 2 layers of mass loaded vinyl and some fire retardant plastic sandwiched in-between the vinyl. This gives a nice combo of weight, flexibility and sturdiness. These three layers were glued together and wrapped with metal tape to improve its heat/fire resistance. I then glued on some of that black fabric onto the rectangle cover. Like the prior posts, the surrounding foam was covered with the black fabric and it is removable in case I need to access the wires underneath. All of this is in the middle section of unit (where the miner sits). #DIY #Bitcoin #Mining #BTC #Soundproofing #Finishing #Metal

One thing I don't see the UK government doing is building beautiful outdoor training facilities which are free for the public. Instead they provide free everything to illegal immigrants. 🤣
