An early prototype of my next design - Catapult.Nano uses some unusual hardware to pull this off, but the result is a small sub-ITX case (Pico? possibly?) that can be completely self-contained, or used as an eGPU enclosure for another system. Fully 3D Printable and no customizing of components...

thanks @chrisR ! I have an in-progress manual for the LP500 here which is similar, but I'll write the instructions for LP4 this week and ping you ASAP - sorry it isn't available already, I was heads down updating the website the past week

LP4 files are now available on my website and at cults3D for purchase!

Thank you! I actually got my low profile gpu supporting case down to 4.0L so I'm going to have to revisit the APU, currently at 3.9L hah. I feel like in hindsight, I can do better with that 1. I'm aiming to make that LP 4L case available both as a complete case purchase, and available digitally...

Wanted to join the 4-liter club with my new prototype, Catapult.LP4. Supports low profile GPUs without the need of any risers, and CPU cooler height support is around 65mm. Designed specifically for the HDPLEX 250W Passive PSU. Dimensions are 220mm x 217mm x 84mm. 100% 3D Printable, but key...

MARCH 2024 - Development Notes Howdy folks, excited to share my new design and early prototypes for feedback – as always, this case can be fully 3D printed, or you can enhance with metal components for stability. This XL design reuses many elements from the Cataplut.LP and Catapult.APU cases...

I'm excited to share that I've completed v1.0 of my Catapult.LP ITX case, and it's now available to download from my website https://store.catapultcase.com I set out on this project to create a completely 3D Printable ITX case, with the option to upgrade key components to metal for a more...

Dropping some early photos of the new prototypes that arrived today. I'm using some unfinished corner pieces as the next batch of corners are going through post processing (drying!) but was excited to share these as a sneak peek... I'm really happy with the powder coated aluminum side panels...

very clever! I like it a lot

Hey folks, wasn't sure where best to post this so hope this is the right spot in the forum. I'm designing some custom cases (link to prototypes thread) and of course, a key part of the design is the side panels that require ventilation. I've been using sendcutsend for prototyping, and 1 of the...

New prototype of the 4.3L APU version, supporting the HDPLEX 250W. Some pics next to the LP version which of course, supports the 500W variant. Had some fun with the multi-color 3D printer too!

I asked if they planned to produce their own cable in the future, and got what is *hopefully* a promising response. I guess till then I'll have to make other plans for my use case hah "We are monitoring the situation on this 12PIN cable. If it becomes mature, we will develop a cable" .

JANUARY 2024 Development Log New metal prototype images added to first post! Catapult.XL model designed that targets full-size GPU (such as Founders Edition 4070 Super) and support for Flex PSU. Catapult.LP model height increased by 11mm to include option of 500W HDPLEX PSU First metal...

Interestingly, when I emailed HDPLEX about using the PSU with GPUs that have 12HPWR connection, I got the following response: "We don't recommend 12HPWR cable. This cable design has internal flaws."

what's the maximum GPU wattage that's "safe" to pull from the single PCI-E connection of the HDPLEX 500w GaN PSU? I'm hoping to power a FE 4070 Super using the 12vhpwr adapter cable, so using both the 6+2 connectors on the single GPU cable from the 500w GaN. The GPU pulls approx 220w it seems...
