Best Build

Maximus

Hey everyone! Time for the next build!

Since i completed my last build (the Frankenstein build) i already had this in mind, though it wasnt a simple task, but it made it to reality in the past few weeks/months. As usual i cannibalized on the parts of my last build, so this build is also a "Frankenstein" build in a way, but now with only a few things. Most of the components are new, as my goal was also to somewhat max out the good old AM4 platform (in the "best bang for the buck" kind of way).

Most of the time went into planning the parts, trying to think of everything before having anything phisycal in my hands, and once the plan and (then later) the parts were complete the second biggest task was to stick to everything i planned 😀

It wasnt easy, some things fit better then the others, and i also missed a few things to account for beforehand, but all-in-all it came together pretty nicely!

It's a "body on frame" construction (just to use a fancy automotive term), the "skin" or in this case the body is completely 3d printed and is bolted to an aluminium frame (built in tandem as the hardware and the outer shell was built, it made good fitment possible). Be sure to check out the build updates regarding the process.

This is the whole build, from the beginning to the very end, from plan to reality, from parts to machine, from nothing to Maximus.
