Deburring made easyEveryone who works with HardTubes knows that they must deburr all ends of the tubes. The classic deburrer from Alphacool offers the ability to deburr HardTubes inside and outside. The external deburring is extremely important so that the HardTubes fit perfectly and do not damage any O-rings. The inner deburring is only used to remove cutting residue. For clean deburring, the deburrer has three steel blades with sharpened edges. The deburrer fits perfectly in the hand due to its large round shape. Cutting PETG tubesThe Eistools Modding Cutter works like scissors and is ideal for cutting PETG HardTube.
Please note that acrylic HardTube cannot be cut with this tool as they would shatter when cut. Of course, you can also use it to cut cables and other soft components. If you want to cut angles, the integrated protractor can be used. Bending tool and silicone insertsA silicone insert is absolutely necessary for bending HardTubes. The Silicone Insert prevents the tube from collapsing at the bends. To help the insert glide better, use a waterbased lubricant or similar. Oil based Lubricant and too much soap should be avoided and never use alcohol as this can damage plastics such as PETG.
With the small but practical bending tool you can easily bend simple angles. The tube is pushed into the bending tool, heated with a heat gun and can then be bent very easily. The only additional items you will need are the HardTubes and a heatgun that can produce low emperatures. With this simple combination you can make the liquid cooled PC of your dreams.
