EKWB 4.0 Pump DIY Plexi-Holder.

More frequent blog updates from now on containing both big and small goodies from my journey in this water world.

Hope some post can bring some value to thee, either way i had a blast with the projects (perhaps not always but still).

Okey, this is nothing superfancy and i did this creation to fit my EKWB 4.0. pump to the rear of the X-Air case, my version isn't 100% perfect but it doesn't matter, you'll get the idea and i hope i covered any traces of bad engineering with my super awesome tablet camera skills.

Ingredient & tools:
1x. Plexi plate.
1x. Double sided tape.

Something sweet to sand with (smooth papers recommended).
1x. Heater gun (if it's capable of bending acrylic tubes you're good to go).
1x. Dremel or any other type of machinery capable of drilling holes suitable for the pump outlet and of course your personal preferences.

Creating your PlexiMasterPiece:
Make sure the Plexi piece is going to fit pretty good when attached to the pump (measuring optional but sure is optimal).

Fire up the heater gun and bend that Plexi piece silly, well perhaps as close to 90 degrees as possible would be best.

Mark the Plexi piece and drill the big hole for the outlet, do the same thing with the mounting holes.

Sand the thing where you find it necessary for that smooth and sleek look.

Optional:
Sand where you think it would look neat to get that frosty Plexi look.
That's what i did to cover up some manufacturing errors.

Mounting:
Attach the double sided tape at the bottom of the pump and then stick it to the bottom of your creation.
Mount the piece of art with your personal taste in screws or what you feel safe enough.

Done!
