Small update

Back from Hiatus


The K1 project has been in a hiatus state since November 2021 without any new developments from my side.

Main reason being the death(shattering) 😭 of my iPad Pro(12.9" 2018), where this all started as a small side project.

Using all free time during my commute, my iPad + Pencil enabled me to doodle in a 3D environment through shapr3d[very convenient]

Using my old Macbook Air 2012(i5) and Fusion360 as a substitute, didn't solve the problem of convenience and brought frustration 🤬 to my design process.

RIP iPad Pro November 2018 - November 2021


Current Project Progress


The 3rd Iteration is currently in the prototyping stage. Aiming for May 2022(optimistic estimate).

This Iteration will mainly focus on these three features:

  1. screwhole covering backpanel
  2. step-wise adjustable sandwich layout [CPU cooler height & GPU thickness]
  3. 10+1.3L ATX support

Features not on priority list:

- HDD mount

- custom Top-Hat for EK-FLT Reservoir / Pump Combo

- Flex-ATX support

- 120 mm front fan in 10+1.3L version

- modding friendly frame with more screw holes


Quality of life improvement: strengthening spine parts for more rigidity, take away stress from MoBo
