    Prototype Make4 1S - 5.2L 3D Printed, HDPLEX Powered, ITX GPU

    Going to be live streaming some stress test today on the case. GTX 1080 + 7700K. Please stop by and ask some questions. Would love some feedback.

    That is actually a great idea. Those parts have gotten a little bigger and moved around, so it would totally make sense to turn that into 1 piece. I'm gonna play around with some design ideas.

    Prototype Make4 1S - 5.2L 3D Printed, HDPLEX Powered, ITX GPU

    Thanks for the feedback! My "final" version will be made from black panels so that all the countersunk screws will be pretty much hidden. It is a 92mm fan. I started with a 120 but it barely fit and looks out of place. The large number of parts is actually on purpose. Reason being is that...

    Getting very close. Guessing 1 more prototype and she'll be ready to start manufacturing!

    I have CNC machine so I'll be cutting it myself. I've been testing out aluminum, ABS sheets and acrylic. I might got with a mix as well.

    This is just a functional prototype. I plan on building a version with aluminum plates. That's why the external cutouts are not integrated.

    Airflow and size. I just updated with some pics of the first functional prototype.

    I'm currently live streaming as I work on the case. If you have a twitch account please chime in and give me some feedback. Would really like to get some community based modifications into the design. ------------------------------------------------------- STATUS I just moved from CAD...

    Mounting the HDPLEX 400W - (No threaded holes?)

    I'm trying to figure out how to mount my HDPLEX 400w. The aluminum bottom plate isn't threaded so I imagine you have to use a small nut? Any suggestions?

    Prototype Wooden ITX

    I know I was thinking about it. I would love to actually sell the case with Noctua fans. 2 months later - Noctua sued for burning house down in partnership with wooden PC case

    Prototype Wooden ITX

    Yeah, I have used Red Oak, Mahogany, White Oak and Maple. I really like the baltic birch because of the nice exposed edges. The only problem is that it doesn't stain that well.

    Prototype Wooden ITX

    I'm not sure how I missed this forum but I've been blown away by reading all of the awesome cases that have been designed and produced here. I've been building custom cases for about 3 years. I've been building primarily wooden cases for the last year. I launched a Kickstarter that failed...
