Thanks Hendrik for the awesome electroplated part! Check out his channel here: / @hen3drik
This video got a bit out of hand after I equipped my PC with the loudest fans imaginable. Instead of just buying more silent fans and accepting my defeat, I decided to make a sound proof cabinet out of an IKEA cabinet. I ran into several issues which I solved in this video. Because of this I learned new things and came up with new ideas for other projects! So, don't be afraid of just trying something, you might just end up with something cool ;)

This is a video filled with my worst decisions, but with somehow the best outcomes haha. Thanks Hendrik for the cherry on top by electroplating the remote power button! Check out his channel www.youtube.com/@hen3drik
If you have any concerns about the temperature of my PC, especially in this hot weather, I'll post an update on Twitter if there are any noteworthy findings. Things are looking good and it's so silent that I thought that the remote power button broke xD
yeah like buying a 14900K, aka a furnace :D
my friend! You are next to a window. Why don't you use ducts and filters to move air in and out and leave the computer isolated from your studio?
You are a living breathing walking legend. Haha. Epic video for a fantasticly thoroughly made solution for a problem that solved itself, with new fans. Haha. You beast!! ❤
Your pc was loud in that call! And this is coming from somenoe that puts his face next to pulsjet engines!
Do you run pulsejets to give your video calls more Zoom?
I love how you could have just replaced the fans, but instead, you spend a lot of money and resources to build something and in the end replace the fans either way. I love it xD
sometimes the 5th idea on the list that "looks stupid" is the best option.
or just slow the fans down with PWM. I own those fans, and you can just turn them down. They have a super wide working RPM range, wider then most Noctua fans, if you turn them down they are just as quite as any other fan they sell, but they can also tough enough to spin really fast (and therefor loud).
@@monev44 He said in the video the PC was throttling as it was even when jetplane loud, slowing them down would have just made it throttle even harder as-it-was, though if you meant after the radiator getting pushed outside etc, then there is merit in that, to just re-use them somewhere.
I upgraded my fans, it cost some decent money but it was well worth it. I can turn my server on and hear almost nothing now. It's way better than trying to soundproof the thing , it saves space.
I'm not a youtuber, so I just bought the best fans on the market.
Sound Engineer here with a few "rule of thumbs" for improve your project:
1- Acoustic foam is used for sound reflection absorption, not insulation. It does have an small effect, but you probably already realized that. the deeper the foam, the lower the frequency it will absorb. Consider leaving a gap between it and the walls of the cabinet, and it will have a better efficiency.
2- for springs absorption, the perfect amount of deformity under load for it absorb vibrations is about 30%. For example, your string should stretch 30% while holding your computer to have a more efficient absorption of the vibrations.
3- I will assume the main source of noise in your cabinets where the vents: open windows directly into the noise. You could build a duct like box filled with absorbent materials for your air circulation, and this would mitigate your problem.
Thanks for your insights!
A long muffler to absorb the noise, nice idea!
@@HERUsai build the pc into the muffler *mind blown*
I really love your enthusiasm but what we did in the company I recently worked for our audio engineers is just moving PCs outside of the room. If you need dead silent environment that is the solution. It seems to me it will be both more effective and less cumbersome but probably less content for a video 😂. But the button... I want one! :)
Was looking for this comment. 👍
Such an engineer move, creating a whole cabinet when it was as easy as replacing the cooler ;)
Also for reference, the foam you used is meant to stop echoes in a room, not block sound from coming out. So it actually has a very minimal effect in this case. You'd want something much denser such as rock wool or proper sound isolation panels to block the sound from coming out (not that they are needed anymore for this project).
or water screaming under water is very hard
Oh yes, you're right! It's still significantly quieter and I bought these panels mostly because of looks and convenience, besides having some impact.
When I built a cabinet for one of my old printers, I used sound absorbing foam (purchased from McMaster-Carr here in the US). It's expensive though.
@@properprinting Looks don't matter inside of soundproofing cabinets though. Because they're closed to the public for some reason 😉
Maybe take a look inside a silenced air compressor housing before building your next cabinet.
You'll find a thick layer of rockwool, usually hidden underneath perforated metal sheets, just like one would build a car muffler.
And, equally important - in and out airducts are built like a labyrinth, which of course is also covered with rockwool. No direct escape route for the soundwaves.
But regardless of being useful stuff or not - an awesome example of craftmanship!
a easy way to make meshes is to pause the print halfway, then tension a nylon stocking over the print, then resume. the fabric will be embedded in the print. :-)
That's a great tip, thanks!
So, instead of solving the overheating with a better case and cooler, we invested into an ikea chokebox.
I knew subscribing to you was a good idea
Only the best stuff happens here😆
Belt and Suspenders is even better 😂
Measure once, cut twice, hate life
edit: Measure once, cut twice, Repeat
You better do a tutorial on how to do an infill image. It looked so good!
Hell yes please!!
Its easily done by using multiple objects, to start with use a solid box that will act as your frame. For this item only set the top and bottom layers to 0 and then set infill to about 10% grid works best for this application. Then place the individual objects with in your frame like the face, glasses, or any other objects and for all of those individual items set the infill to a varying level of infill to give depth such as 20%, 30%, and so to give you different levels of shading. I've printed my own meshes for a number a things for over 3 years. Vase mode combined with brim on inside only is a great way to make lamp shades for around the home.
Jon, this was 100% an emotional rollercoaster, and 100% worth the watch. Thanks!
Thanks Bryan!
Maybe The Real Treasure Was the Friends We Made Along the Way.
I was not expecting to laugh out loud watching this but you got me four times
I can hear you laughing reading this comment😆
@@properprinting TBF if someone told me they could hear me laugh 350km away I’d probably believe them.
I cracked up when you redid the panel while looking at the camera LOL
I just ran water lines to the crawl space under my house where the water passes through a car radiator. The crawl space is always cool and the radiator is big enough that it doesn't even need fans. Best of all, my house doesn't get hot from the PC.
good idea. small heat exchangers are available and I didn’t find the water cooling to be too expensive.
KVM is probably the best solution but it ain’t cheap either.
that sounds awesome. would love to see a video on that.
Pretty cool. You just use a pump made for pc water cooling or what?
The satisfaction of pressing the button and having everything work is all joy and bliss.
This was just the best video to watch. Jon, your projects are great to follow-along with you, but it's your storytelling and production, and of course your willingness to laugh at yourself that puts everything just so enjoyable to watch unfold. Sweet computer silence mode you have going now. I definitely want an adjustable desk now as well!
Thanks you very much Courtney!
I really like the creative approaches! Thanks for being part of the project 😃
Beautiful work. You have a new subscriber.
@@squelchstuff 😃
Incredible work as always!
The janky table saw *chefs kiss*
Your dedication to "cinematic" filming is next level! Pretty impressive👏
Cinematic Engineering at its finest!
Bruh... So much wasted potential.... 1. Your foam does nothing in there except keep heat in. Real audio diffusion foam is HARD, I suspect you have the Chinese knock-off stuff that we all were duped into buying. 2. You need something high density to dampen the interior, for example drywall or cement. You can also buy damping material made for this like a thick tar-like sticky pad that you glue onto the inside of the cabinet. 3. Put baffles in corners. Just google Acoustic Corner Bass Trap 4. Why put a cabinet in your cabinet when you could... put PC components in the cabinet! Just mount alu plate with standoffs directly to the inside wall of IKEA cabinet and mount components directly to that. TIP: Look at DIY perks channel on TH-cam for lots of awesome details 5. Hang the ikea cabinet under your desk so you can strip down all the wires and get a vacuum cleaner under it.
agreed, I have my home theater pc in my entertainment center and within the cabinet is basically just a test bench made out of scrap plywood but the cabinet is layered with mass loaded vinyl, its a sheet of ridiculously heavy rubber used for sound proofing walls of commercial buildings.
I want to applaud you, for consistently creating enjoyable videos. I always look forward to your video postings. Your editing, ideas and execution of your insane ideas are mile above what all the other content creators in the 3d printing realm are creating. You have the best 3d printing content on youtube by miles!
Hello friend, you could have:
1- sold your very noisy computer
2- bought a quiet new pc
3- enjoyed your coffee much earlier!
Like me right now with my tea ;)
But I Always admire your creations :)
What a video very inspiring ! thank you for your work .
like usual BEAUTIFULLY OVERKILL
The squishy white grills and the cable passthrough grommets were my favorite part of this video.
Fantastisch, zo herkenbaar!
I'd like to think that for the time/money you could have just added liquid cooling and changed out the fans but then we never would have gotten this amazing video! Absolute respect.
Way easier would have been to let the PC auto start after power outage (setting in BIOS) and then control the power with a smart socket. That's what I do and works perfect.
Man... I love this.
This is exactly the process I go through anytime I need to solve a problem.
Thank you for pulling back that shameful curtain and validating all of us that struggle with this same thing 😂
My man spent so much time making so many desings :) in the end just to make the pc quiet by itself :))
Respect
His fan was loud.. so he got a new table 😂 love it.
If it's worth doing, it's worth over-doing. This is the most ridiculous solution to a minor problem I've ever seen, and I loved every second of it. Massive kudos!
After the whole journey, the last 20 seconds were the best.
I had to laugh so hard
I'm left in awe about this work. Thank you for sharing!
I really liked this video. I feel so much better about my project mishaps and disasters when I see someone with more skills than I have running into the same problems. Plus, the over-engineering to solve a PC cooling is such a relatable problem. Forget 3 lefts to make a right, this was like 11. You got stuck in the roundabout for an hour and a half forgetting where you're going, when the ultimate solution was fixing the PC's cooling.
This is amazing!
Man, your projects and creativity is always fun to watch.
What a total damn trip! Thanks as usual for the best content!
Its hard to believe that this is “just a TH-cam video“. Love the editing, music, shots and story telling. Great job Jon!
That was one amazing video! I love your humor...
haha, that ending! As always, great video.
Not the video we expected, but the video we needed.
Jou zelfspot is on top haha. Jou video's laten altijd zo mooi zien hoeveel moeite het kost om iets van scratch te maken, maar des te meer de voldoening!
I normally would suggest people to reduce the sound emission before trying to dampen in. But clearly it makes a much better video the other way around. 😂
There were so many cool ideers in this one video. I fucking loved it. 👍
You sir, made yourself a place in my class materials for the definition of overengineering a solution.
As a very early subscriber of yours, it's amazing to see where you get, and it's also very comforting to see that even a pro like you makes mistakes and has to reprint or recut something(which happens to me all the time, haha)
This is so epic.
That is one proper computer cabinet and an equally proper power button! The best part, however, is the insiring journey! Thanks!
3:57 I'm dead. That was literally me, but instead of wood doing tile the other day.
I love this channel you are the most entertaining teacher ive had in years ......your vids are ones i genuinley cannot wait to watch ....
Awesome video. Great music. Glad you walk through the process.
Great film. Epic journey. Awesome design|fab. Mahalo for sharing!
Love the way you do things. Kick starting a saw like that had me burst out in laughter.
this whole video was about an open case design, inside a case 🥰
I watched this whole video. At the beginning I was just like, "fool, just buy a case with some actual ventilation and airflow and some lower RPM fans". At the end of the video I subscribed as this was just so EXTRA and I'm here for whatever this mans brain comes up with!
Please provide more information on how you used infill to create your screen/filter. That looks like it would have many applications.
So moral of the story is first to try a different cooling solution, lol. Great video, there's no better way to learn than to try. And thanks for sharing, it was a fun project to watch. Best!
I never comment on videos, but this is the first one I have seen of yours and you are hilarious. Definitely have my sub and like. Keep it up!
Noctua loves this content
Overengineering is the best type of content, imo. Thank you, man. It was cool and a little hilarious)
Those cable grommets... jesus christ that is SO SMART 👏😭 fantastic.
There is a option in the BIOS to start when the PC get power again. If you have home automation or just a power connect plug you can control with a switch
Good to know!
been doing this since 2017 using TP Link Kasa smart plugs
You can also buy wireless power buttons commercially if you want to have that option
Again, an awesome video. You produce some of the most emotional 3D printing content there is. 😄
I'm currently building a 3D-printed NAS case, specifically the "Modcase MASS", which exists in a free and paid version. It also uses infill for air filters and it really does work great. Their models come in 2 parts, one for the structure and one for the filters (overlapping of course, so the connect) and use different print settings for the filters: no perimeters, no top/bottom layers and infil-% with grid pattern depending on nozzle sizes (usually 40% for 0.4mm).
As for your build: my god that's an awesome and appropriately over-engineered solution, it's just glorious! Side note: your fans alone cost more than my entire case combined.
I love this project. I’ll probably do something similar to quiet my printers. I’ve been trying to dream up something similar, but this gives me lots of new possibilities.
freakin' sweet, dude.
Loving the woodworking 👍
A rollercoaster of emotions, packed full of awesome problem solvong. I think you should have mounted it outside 👀
Wauw, je verast me met elke video ik kan niet wachten op de nieuwe IDEX 3D printer video. Veel succes!
So you made your PC enclosure "Earthquake proof".
About using infill for filters.
I also do this as you can easily change the density by changing the infill percentage.
I didn't see any mass dampeners did you?
If anything he made his PC into a swingamajig
@@iamdmc Just to fill you in on the 'joke'.
He lives close to where I live and here in Groningen we have had quite a few earthquakes due to gas extraction.
The house I live in already has been demolished and rebuilt (total of 30 houses in our street at once, lots more in progress) and our house has been rebuilt on top of base isolation sliders. (friction pendulum) These are essentially two concave discs on top of eachother with a big ice-hockey puck inbetween.
The idea is that this will eventually slide back into the center position. Only has a bit more friction compared to the swing setup he made.
But I guess the cables and the foam on the side will also act as dampeners.
Anyway, it was meant as an inside joke.
Congrats on the channel.
I used that infill trick to make a diffraction grating to focus a telescope, it worked really well
Super vet om te zien dat jij casual zit te bellen met Integza. Ook jouw humor met de naam van je TeringDikke20TB schijf kon ik erg om lachen. Elke keer toffe videos. Dank je wel
Thats alot of work. But now you have an awesome power button !
Man your surprised expressions ! 😂
Could you detail a bit more on that infill technique for the dust filters?
I'm trying to achieve something similar for speakers and this method could save me a lot of time
awesome
Great video as usual !
I turn my PC on automatically when power is connected. Every motherboard have this setting :)
I've been using the infill-as-mesh for a few projects now and absolutely love how they turn out. Laptop fan filters, 40mm R Pi coolers, and some 3d printer additions that really give an amazing look. Much happier with it than when I tried to model in mesh back a few years ago.
...a whole engineering plan... when you just needed to go into bios and adjust your fan speed xD
I give a all the credit in the world for sticking with that project. I would have just got some long cables and stuck it in a closet.
The power button is very nice. Doubted the cabinet from the start of the video but still watched to the end as your videos are always very entertaining and very well made.
This video shows the essence of engineering. I mean, overthinking about a proyect and then find a better, cheaper and easier way to do it xd
I just love watching your videos. It seems like each one is more entertaining yet more informative than the last. Honestly, because of this I watch all your videos, even if it's something I'm not into (like resin printing) cause I know it'll be a fun video and time well spent. Keep pumping out great content!
P.S. I SOOO wish I had a remote power button for my PC. It's a bit of a stretch to reach it under my desk.
Nifty project! I built myself a sound proof box for a compressor recently- the thing is way louder than any PC, it's deffening. It's still loud but it works- makes a significant difference. For me, it's basically just a box with some foam on the inside with as many extra pillows and blankets as possible on the outside- it's got a mini box fan intake and an air outlet to keep it cool. I use it for air assist while laser cutting/engraving so it runs a lot when I'm doing a job.
When you own a high quality 3d printer it just becomes like a hammer that fits every nail.
When you did your first cut of the furniture board I was thinking "Man, bro should get a right angle ruler" and felt vindicated, yet sad, when you put the panel on the cabinet and saw that it didn't match.
Great video mate.
Rabbit holes are a tinkers best discovery ;o). Really enjoyed the video and the collaboration with the other SMEs. Keep rocking brother!
Lol.... Amazing. Love the Saw.
Very cool project!
One idea for improvement: Arrange the fans differently. You want more fans pushing air into the case than fans extracting air. This is to create positive pressure inside the case, meaning you will have air "leaking" out of any cracks. This is good because otherwise you might get dust sucked into the case through these cracks which is supposed to end up in the filters instead. Also use fans made for high static pressure instead of high airflow when you're pushing air though a filter.
Toch leuk gemaakt
Best damn video from anyone anywhere for a long ass time ... and that's saying something. :-)
great video I love seeing your design philosophy. When you were talking about the filters and the failures I was already yelling just use infill. Not even going to ridicule you about trying to cool an i9 with a 240mm radiator. combining you with abs is a cool idea. the whole project turned out amazing.
Roft xD great video :)
i dont know what you made. but i dont care. you're a joy to watch 😂
Ok this power button!! i need it xD
I love your new computer cabinet. WoW
what an amazing journey.
Yeah! The day just got better!
For the meshed grills you can buy the mesh and then put it in the printed bed and print the grills and then you have an integrated mesh
