myminifactory

This is a frame to build a NAS out of a Raspberry Pi 4 or NanoPi M4 and some 2.5 inch laptop drives. You can use SSD or HDD. The design is modular, so you can stack as many drives as you want. To start, you'll need: Raspberry Pi BOM NanoPi BOM Raspberry Pi Amazon shopping cart Nano Pi Amazon shopping cart Buy Nano Pi M4V2 Full Instructions To print your frame, use: (1) Either the Raspberry Pi mount or the NanoPi mount. (2) Clips for each drive. You'll need 8 clips if you have 4 drives. (3) Risers (NanoPi or Raspberry Pi) (4) Frame Stabilizers (5) Fan mount (for Raspberry Pi only) Assemble the drive clips onto each drive by sliding them on from the bottom and putting the protrusions into the screw holes. Then, stack the drives together by sliding the clips into each other. Next, clip the Raspberry Pi into place, making sure the indentation corresponds to the SD card position. For the NanoPi, note the direction with respect to the frame tabs - the side marked BACK should face the USB ports. Now, slide the risers onto the Pi mount and then assemble the two pieces together.
