Concept Thoughts on how to compremise between SFF and cooling.

Silly question: do people water-cool their power supplies? Is that a thing?

Thanks! And no, I don't believe they do :')

After all the effort that has gone into trying to make this work...I've realized it's too big and I hate it. Ugh why am I like this

I even ordered a Voron 2.4 350x350 in order to print the thing in ABS because it has a bad case of the shakes and that's without any heat potentially making it flop around like the air tube guys at a car sales yard.

Poor thing! if you compare it to an NCase, no less ... !!!

Well there you go :’)

Not sure how I reasoned that I’d be able to cram more into it like some sort of TARDIS. Alas the venture continues

I forgot to remove the brim so I ended up drilling every hole out

Top piece is printing, side panels will follow shortly after.

I mean, it ain’t actually that bad. The slim rad/fan setup works in the bottom with a water-blocked card. Probably gonna work on ways to strengthen all of the panels in the next revision. Now that my 350mm Voron 2.4 has started I should be able to print these out in ABS to avoid them warping under heat. Still kind of bummed she’s so thicc. Unfortunately to fit my RTX Vector card that’s as small as it can be. Might look into a sandwich layout with the intention of supporting big chonky Vector2 blocks on the strix for example. Who knows ‍

I got three of these

To play with this idea as I'm not convinved the M1 layout works for me.

Still a few little things to figure out but I'm hopeful. The journey continues.
