  • They are 12V fans so I soldered them to the 12V output that also powers the HDDs.

  • It is ok, the vents are at the back and bottom of the laptop. I have run it in a different 24/7 setup for some time already.

  • Mostly beans.

  • I could, yes. The laptop has an M.2 slot that is intented to be used for M.2 SSDs, maybe you know them, they've gotten very popular. Almost any mordern motherboard has space for them.

    But instead of putting an M.2 SSD in that slot, I bought this adapter with SATA ports. And this adapter fits exactly in the same spot as the SSD could have. Then the SATA ports of the adapter can just be used as regular SATA ports as on any motherboard.

  • I used PETG, and so far there is no warping/deformation. With PLA I would be a bit more worried, but PETG can stand some heat.

  • Also slightly bugging me, but I didn't find 6x SATA power. And my plan always was to use 4 drives.

  • But I do not have a separate NAS. I do have a laptop I want to use as a NAS.

  • Yeah there is a gap between the disks.

  • Did you read the whole post? I thought I made clear what I did.

  • I was also very happy to find out they exist, otherwise this whole thing would've been a no-starter.

  • :)

  • I thought about replacing the entire bottom part of the laptop, but then I looked at the screw layout and thought this is way too much effort for not much benefit. I am not lacking in rack space so I am okay with it being bulky.

  • If you look carefully at the pictures, there are 80mm fans attached to the cage.

  • You are not alone, I am also not sure about its benefits.

  • That is too short. I still have no idea why I would want to install that on my server.

    I feel like a lot of projects are missing a way to find out what they do without installing them.

  • If you don't mind the price, the Prusa Core One checks all these boxes. It is what I have and use happily, with PLA, PETG and TPU. I bought the assembly kit, and it was built within a weekend following the very good assembly manual. But you can also get it pre-assembled.

    Material wise you can consider PETG, it gives me nice durable prints on my Core One.

  • Or OrcaSlicer decides to stop bothering with locked down, enshittified hardware. Who knows.

  • I like the hotend cooling fan from both sides, looks rad.

  • Where do you get DRM free ebooks for sale?
