Where can i get a piece of copper from to fab my DIY evap from? Iv looked all over and cant find any in small amounts
 
Not sure if links are allowed, but the 3 places below sell in small quantities. I usually get mine from the 3rd place because I combine it with other parts on the same order.

Speedy Metals
All Metals Incorporated
McMaster-Carr

Just Google those names ;)
 
Theyre all really good mate. But im not in the US. I need a UK supplier. Good luck finding one lol
 
Yeah they do.But theyre out of stock of that cold plate.

Im using an old waterblock as the base of my evap now. All i need is a 2" diameter disk to braze on top over the channels and its pretty much pre built. There will be a fair amount of cosmetic work to do on it as i dont want it the normal square shape that most water blocks are. There are so many suppliers of stuff like this in the US. But in the UK theyre all but none existent.

Will brass be good enough for a top plate to my evap. Its easier to come across.
 
yes it will, just a bit tougher to braze
good luck on your phase, it's so exciting on the first pulldown, or whatever its called when its cooling down the evap!:)
 
Got two pieces of copper for my evap.
1x 1.75" x 0.75"
1x 1.75" x 0.30"

The finish on them is not great due to being cut with a band saw, and one edge was the end of the entire bar so its been resting on the floor and is slightly damaged. nothin a little bit of 400 grit wont solve with a little bit of time.

I never actually ended up paying for the copper as the guy who cut it for me didnt think it was worth it. Stuffed a few pound in the childrens charity box and he was fine with it.

Hopefully i got the dimensions right to get somethin decent from it.

Im probably going to be milling out a maze design. I'v PM'd a guy called gosmeyer over on XS about one of his designs to copy.

I'll post pics as i get them. Gotta wait for my dads boss to go on holiday before he can get the machine to mill it.
 
Man, his designs are awesome! but as always better to ask questions related to phase there than here, glad you got what you were looking for:)
 
also look on ebay. Here in the US side of it we have 2 places that sell round stock "scraps" that fit the bill perfect for evaps.
 
Call your area's recycling depot or scrap yards, copper is valuable these days and alot of people ( even thieves lol ) sell them to these places.... Ive been playing with alot of copper these days for my lil projects and I get them from a local recyclers for cheap...
