Appreciate the gesture, but spare your child ?
Don't encourage him
Is it possible that we could move the power button to a different position (like in the bottom left of the back panel when looking at it from the back) to make it easier to access when the case is flipped, or is this something we'd have to mod ourselves?
You're just flipping the actual case, not the inside (at least that's how I take it) so you would still have the PSU get air from the outside and it would vent out the bottom of the case, rather than the top.
Any news or updates on the progress? Will there be a Prototype 3 after the CAD is finalized?
That's what one would assume, and it's sub-optimal. I asked hoping @Wahaha360 might have a better solution in mind.
I don't understand the problem you see? Flipped or regular orientation, both have PSU fan aimed at the side vent? What is the problem you see with that?
It isn't suboptimal since you already have fans in the case. Convection is irrelevant once you have fans.
This post, from the start of the thread:
Flipping the case, where the two 120x25mm fans are at the top and in exhaust mode works even better.
The SFX bracket is designed that it can flip the PSU orientation as well, so the SFX can exhaust through the top of the case.

Any updates on when the page will go up on SFFlabs?
Are you going straight to production or will there be a 3rd prototype after the tweaks?

thats the first portotype, not gonna be any side button or side usb c. the button is gonna be on the back

Have you had the opportunity to weigh the SidearmD without components? Being a thick aluminum cnc i don't know if it's portable weight wise as i only have the typical 1.5mm thick aluminum case to compare.
Looks so good so far btw!

weighs AROUND 1100g(2.43pounds) for all the CNC parts(without sidepanels), 1600g(3.52pounds) with sheetmetal components and sidepanels
It is still a little bit of heavy compare to all the other cases in the market, but better to be heavier to protect the parts instead of crumbled in ur luagge~ right?

Just to clarify, 3feetcat is the industrial designer, I’m the product features/component layout designer and editor for this project.
We plan to handle the QA together.

1.6kg total for the case? Wow, that's not much heavier than the Dan A4 (1.25kg)
(Also pretty much identical volume-to-weight ratio)
