The plastic top part will have the same top and left boundaries. Cut a prototype out of aluminum tonight if all goes well.

A few minor improvements to a few lines of code and it will be ready to cut.

Keep up the good work Michael !

Will you finish the cooling this week ?

Thanks for your support Comisarul

Perhaps It will be finished next week.

I have good news and bad news. The bad news is the O-ring sealing didnt work. Thats a simple fix-i will seal it with a silicone gasket sealant along with the O-rings. So thats really not a big issue. It will never ever leak.
The good news is the block is very effective. when i was doing the leak test i pumped some cold water and the block instantly got very cold. The performance of these blocks are very good!
