7/14/22 - Rev 4.0 (Production)

Rev 4.0 "Unibody" Core - Printed with ZERO support


Release Version


I am pleased to introduce the release version and final new features, although development will still continue on if I have time.


The complicated and flimsy modular part system of prior revisions, while excellent for rapid prototyping, has been simplified.  DeskNano now consists of a single "Core", reducing four parts to only one. While installation is slightly trickier, this yields excellent dimensional consistency, rigidness, cleaner corners, and is optimized for production.  With a quality printer, it can even be produced without any supports when printed inverted, and extremely minimal cleaning time.




There are 6 "Cores" to choose from with different face patterns - of varying difficulty depending on printer capabilities - including the familiar triangular lattices of prior revisions, slotted cutouts, "zipper" pattern, and the above - cubes.


New Feature - 3dMesh Lids



In addition to the "Cutout" style, DeskNano now has a variety of mesh lids to choose from. Thank you [USER=16708]@morj[/USER] for the inspiration.


The pattern and density is not part of the model, but created by the slicer, allowing the user to decide what the mesh should look like.



Although somewhat fragile, they look and feel incredible.



3dMesh L9a+120mm Slim - .4mm Nozzle, single wide "Lines"


3dMesh L9a+92 - .4mm Nozzle double wide "ZigZag"


Similar to the "Cutout" style, 120mm fans can be "press fit".  No screws are required.



Not pictured, but supported, are 120mm x 25mm fans.


New Feature - Vesa Mount

Vesa attachment is now supported by way of an adapter plate that mounts to the tray.  Vesa mounting with the Storage Bay is also supported (it can be sandwiched).



Project files and storefront should be available very soon.
