Scratch Build – In Progress Project: OSIDIAS - Carbon fiber and 3D printed SFF (Jan. 2, 2020)

Thanks - it does indeed! +rep

 

You're welcome, and thanks!

 

Farnell stock them in the UK, about £2.20 to £2.50 each.
Unfortunately, they ship them in from the US, at a cost of £16 per order.

You might find something usable one layer up.

Reading the data sheet suggests that if you want to do what craigbru has and run your side panel fans, then this one might be suitable (if you can solder a surface-mount part), but you'd have to make the other side yourself from a piece of stripboard

 

This is getting way too interesting now and giving me some ideas for improvements to my pc.

 

Bwahaha.

 

Thanks shah! Ideas are what it's all about!

Oh geez, lol! I haven't done much work in the past week or so. I think my resin has been shipped via stagecoach... I can't do a whole lot without it. Maybe this weekend!

 

sounds like that horse needs a redbull

 

I hate it when things are shipped super slow, makes getting anything done impossible.

I really like all the carbon fiber work your doing though, it looks amazing.

 

redbull gives you wings!!!

 

craig could whip out more cases with his brake skills alone (I predict "mod of the year!" folks)

 

Pegasus?

Agreed. I really can't stand waiting for packages. I also expect things to ship the day after I order. Places like Amazon and Newegg have me pretty spoiled. Lol.

Thanks for the compliments! I'm trying to keep it original!

Lol, thanks Bill. I've been contemplating 'simpler' case designs that can be made on the brake alone. Possibly for reselling in limited quantities. I haven't made much progress with it though... MotY? That would no doubt be thanks to great support, but I'm not sure I can get it done in time. Not to mention the incredible awesome competition I'd have.

 

Heh, my friends used to joke that my mail must have been delivered by dog sled. Those numbers in my screen name used to be my zip code.....

 

Yep, I googled it! LOL

 

Man, I hope you live some place a little warmer now.



Well, the resin finally showed up on Friday. However, my focus is now on getting the Hutch project done. Once it is, then I can give my full attention to OSIDIAS. So, a little delay will be worth more frequent updates here, right?

 

Hmm...maybe.

BTW, I just noticed one of the tags on this thread is "Skynet" - Epic.

 

I'm in Ohio now. Not sure if it was an upgrade though.

 

Yes and I cannot wait til Craig bring in some Skynet hardware

 

I know you're die'n to get Hutch done. It's a nice little project as well. Did you see if it was a Mule or Donkey they were riding when you got your resin!

Hope you're not near that river!

 

I don't even own a van!
