Working with a friend who is designing this... Many revisions later, getting closer to something print worthy.
In theory if you're 3d printing it you could set it up for a vertical, front to back orientation of the drives and put them across the front of the chassis dimensionally there's room for 8-10 drives leaving room for air and securing them to the bottom plate of the chassisA few quick thoughts:
- Is there a place for a PicoPSU plug? The Lian-Li's I have all have a dedicated hole for this.
- How many 2.5" drives? More would be better. I bet you could mount more on the surfaces of the case if needed.
Agree on the customization, it might even be possible to write a script that allows you to make changes on a webpage and order it(like picking your number/type/combination of drive bays or expansion cards)I would imagine it's not about cost/saving but more about customization/options
Very cool project!
Yup, and while it is designed for a fanless itx it is now tall enough for an i3 fan.A few quick thoughts:

I love that bay but it's limited to 7mm drives, if it was ~2.5 inches inside though you could mount 15mm drives on their side across the frontYup, and while it is designed for a fanless itx it is now tall enough for an i3 fan.
Just 2 in this one... Though since I finally convinced him to make it modular... just a bit taller and you can fit the 8 drive bay 5.25 inch iceydock.

Cost depends on how much you pay for filament. I rarely end up more than about $20/kg for purchased stuff. Home-made is about $4-10/kg depending on what I can find for pellets.
And there's time cost, a print that size would probably go to about 10 hours for me. If it even fit on my bed, which is a bit iffy even for an ITX case on a Lulzbot Mini. I could split it up and glue it together, but it never looks as good as printing in one piece. One of these days, I'll have to build a bigger printer.
Nice looking design though.
Is there room for 2 4's across the front of the case?They have 4/6/8 drive models...
Unless you are printing ridiculously fast or low detail...
at 80mm/s it was expecting 28hrs on the previous smaller model.
Nada, tis barely an ITX board wideIs there room for 2 4's across the front of the case?
