Network Storage - 4 Bay / 3,5" / ITX NAS

thingiverse

This is a Remix to make printing easier/faster on larger machines. Everything fits on an Prusa MK3S, Creality Ender 3 or similar sized printer. - combined 43 parts down to just 11 - remade the frontpanel so a common powerbutton can be used - removed most now unnecessary screwholes in combined parts - fixed thousands of facette and mesh errors - fixed a small clearance issue While printing the parts I noticed a few issues and made some further changes. As of 15.05.2020 all parts are printed and final, so I removed the WIP flag. If you downloaded the STLs prior to this, delete all of them and redownload! ---------------------------------------------------------- <h2> Important Printing Notes </h2> Print everything in PETG just to be safe, use PLA if you feel adventurous. Use a 0,2 layerheight for the following parts: front_doors_combined drivecage_connector_combined Everything else can be printed at an 0,3 layerheight to reduce printtime. Some parts need minimal support, depending on the capability of your printer. If you cant fit side_right or side_left on your bed, just print the following parts: side_right_half-up + side_right_half-down = side_right_combined side_left_half-up + side_left_half-down = side_left_combined A few notes on how to print this on an Ender 3 or similar printer: By default many slicers only use 220x220mm of the bed, increase it to 235x235mm (the true bed size)! You will also need to disable Brim, Skirt or Raft! Then use these files: optional-side_left_part1 optional-side_left_part2 optional-side_left_part3 instead of: side_right_half-up side_right_half-down ---------------------------------------------------------- <h2> Hardware </h2> This is the board the original creator is using: ASUS AT4NM10T-I -- https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_AOLBg3 Intel Atom D425 - 1 core @ 1,80Ghz from 2010 And while it is very cheap, if you plan on using a Web-UI like OpenMediaVault I recommend going with an more powerful board: ASRock QC5000-ITX -- https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_9iuz3z AMD A4-5000 - 4 Cores @ 1,50Ghz from 2013 Check your local retailers or eBay for similar boards too: https://geizhals.eu/?cat=mbson&xf=4400_Mini-ITX By default, there isnt room for most PCIe extensioncard! Cards lower than the I/O ports are fine, wider cards might run into clearance issues with the drive bay legs. If you want to use all 4 Bays, choose a board with 4 SATA Ports: https://geizhals.eu/?cat=mbson&xf=2962_4~4400_Mini-ITX&asuch=&bpmin=&bpmax=&v=e&hloc=at&hloc=de&hloc=pl&hloc=uk&hloc=eu&plz=&dist=&mail=&sort=p&bl1_id=30#productlist ---------------------------------------------------------- You will also need 4 of these SATA/Molex combo cables, 40cm should be fine: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_AgeARl And a powersupply like this: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32963066978.html Since the PSU has not enough Molex connectors, you also need 2 adapters: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_9vcNzh Powerbutton (16mm) used for front_panel_combined: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_Amv0Yj If you are feeling extra fancy, add some rubber pads: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_Al4uKT Other things you will need: -> DDR3 / DDR4 RAM, depending on your board -- most SoC can support 8GB or more, go with at least 1x 4GB, buy 2x 4GB if possible -> plenty M3x14 Bolts -- didnt count, buy 50 and you should be good to go ->120mm PC Fan -- 3-Pin or 4-Pin PWM, depending on your board -> 12 magnets sized 5mm x 3mm ----------------------------------------------------------
