Bad news - on my way back from EU, Lufthansa may have lost my checked luggage = my components and prototype are gone.

Wow crossing fingers now so you can have everything back :/

Bad news - on my way back from EU, Lufthansa may have lost my checked luggage = my components and prototype are gone.

They were suppose to find my luggage, it's been 48hours, chances of finding luggage after 48hours becomes slim.

I have the HWL LS120 and Koolance HX-CU420V radiator, but not much else.

WTF man, that's horrible! Can you at the very least file a claim to get reimbursed for the value?

Well... I tried to insert this, but it wouldn't work... the feeling remains the same.

Damn, I hope they can reimburse you/ this doesn't put the whole project too far back. But that really sucks.

There might be hope, they find something in Munich that matches my suitcase description.

I’m working on USB-C spec now.

Prototype two should start this weekend.

That's great! Let's hope man!

I found a USB-C hub on Taobao. Lazer3D and I have been exploring the variations of this hub for our projects.

There are 3 configuration of this hub that is interesting (all powered by the same chipset GL3520):
1. 2x USB-A 3.0 + 2x USB-C 3.0
2. 2x USB-A 3.0 + 1x USB-C 3.0 + 1x SD Card
3. 2x USB-A 3.0 + 1x USB-C 3.0 + 2x Audio Jack

These 3 I/O boards also happen to have the same screw hole mounting location, so in theory, if designed properly, customers can choose the I/O that best fit their needs.

* 2x USB-A 3.0 + 2x USB-C 3.0
* 2x USB-A 3.0 + 1x USB-C 3.0 + 1x SD Card

* 2x USB-A 3.0 + 1x USB-C 3.0 + 2x Audio Jack, curtesy of Lazer3D K888D

* All powered by the same chipset GL3520



If all goes well, this could be standard part across other projects on this forum.

I am wondering if a passive GPU cooling setup with the accelero or Morpheus will work? The internal free volume of the case is very small and should facilitate rapid air exchange. 2 25mm fans will direct air from the bottom, one through an 120 rad, to the top passing through a bare Morpheus heatsink .

Are those potential alternatives to the 2 USB-C+USB-C Style Power Button in the original design or are they meant to replace them?

The USB-C shaped Power Button Switch might not be tensioned enough to be satisfying. So I’m open to a new direction.

My gripe with the hub is the necessity of the SATA connector on the back for the current chipset.

I would prefer the entire hub power and data to be driven by a single connector, instead of multuple.

It’s not going to happen on the old USB3.0 20pin, so I’m thinking maybe USB 3.1 Gen 2 20pin Type-E

I am weird, i like a standard sd slot (for loading sd from camera)

 

[lerues]

I love this project. Nice work Wahaha360! I'd definitely be in for one.

I'm planning to get a Mirrorless this year, so SD Card support is on my mind too.

I believe the SATA power connector is to provide the 25w of power to give the USB C it's fast charge ability.

I've used the USB A ports without the SATA power cable connected without issue.

 

[owliwar]

I'm keen on the usb c + card reader mostly because of aesthetics.
but really nice to see the progress overall, missed the last months of updates

hope you can find your bag

 

[Wahaha360]

I got my luggage back

 

[fabio]

I got my luggage back

YES! So happy for you man!!!

 

[Arboreal]

I got my luggage back

Brilliant news, what a relief!
SideArmD progress is back on track

 

[Brude27]

That's great news @Wahaha360 ! I look forward to this project getting back on track!
