prusaprinters

This is a Remix of an <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4736916">design from sharanchius on Thingiverse</a> to make printing easier/faster on larger machines. Everything fits on an <a href="https://amzn.to/3N1ykGI">Prusa MK3S</a>, <a href="https://amzn.to/3MVniCu">Creality Ender 3</a> or similar sized printer. Its very important you read the Printing Notes below!Detailed writeup here:  <a href="https://www.igorslab.de/en/itx-nas-from-3d-printer-part-1/">Part 1: Introduction, hardware and assembly</a> <a href="https://www.igorslab.de/en/own-itx-nas-from-3d-printer-part-2/">Part 2: Setup, Software and Results</a>Update: Added an extended version which supports bigger coolers and regular ITX boards!Changes:<ul><li>combined 43 parts down to just 11</li><li>remade the frontpanel so a common powerbutton can be used</li><li>removed most now unnecessary screwholes in combined parts</li><li>fixed thousands of facette and mesh errors</li><li>fixed a small clearance issue</li></ul>Quick Specs (for more read below):<ul><li>supports ITX SoCs only (or something with a cooler not higher than 35mm)</li><li>4x 3,5" drives natively, 2,5" with an adapter</li><li>Flex ATX powersupply</li><li>120mm fan for cooling</li><li>2 front holes for dedicated Power / HDD LEDs</li></ul>If you like it, consider a small <a href="https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=RMGGQ9WP2B7PA">DONATION </a>:)--------------------------------------------------<h4>Important Printing Notes</h4>Print everything in PETG just to be safe, use PLA if you feel adventurous. Use a 0,2 layerheight for the following parts:<ul><li>front_doors_combined</li><li>drivecage_connector_combined</li></ul>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.You do not need to print all parts, I made them modular to fit different sized printers: If you cant fit side_left_combined on your bed, print the following parts:<ul><li>side_left_half-up</li><li>side_left_half-down</li></ul>Screw them together to make the part side_left_combinedIf you cant fit side_right_combined on your bed, print the following parts:<ul><li>side_right_half-up</li><li>side_right_half-down</li></ul>Screw them together to make the part side_right_combined If this part still doesnt fit on your printbed, continue reading below:If you are using an <a href="https://amzn.to/3MVniCu">Ender 3</a> or similar printer, by default many slicers only use 220x220mm of the bed, increase it to 235x235mm (the true bed size) in the slicer settings! You will also need to disable Brim, Skirt or Raft to make this fit!Then use these files:<ul><li>optional-side_left_part1</li><li>optional-side_left_part2</li><li>optional-side_left_part3</li></ul>instead of:<ul><li>side_left_half-up</li><li>side_left_half-down</li></ul>Screw them together to make the part side_left_combined--------------------------------------------------<h4>Hardware / BoM</h4>Disclaimer: AliExpress seems to region-lock many of the products now for some reasons. If you get an “Sorry, the page you requested can not be found”-Error, your country seems to be affected too. Found no solution yetThis is the board the original creator is using: ASUS AT4NM10T-I – <a href="https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_9H6p2p">https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_9H6p2p</a> Intel Atom D425 - 1 Core / 2 Threads @ 1,80Ghz And while it is very cheap, if you plan on using a Web-UI like OpenMediaVault and have decent performance while moving data, I recommend going with an more powerful board. Here are some examples I found, but they are often out of stock: ASRock QC5000-ITX -- <a href="https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_9iuz3z">https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_9iuz3z</a> AMD A4-5000 - 4 Cores / 4 Threads @ 1,50Ghz ASUS HUMMING BIRD -- <a href="https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_AAi8Gp">https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_AAi8Gp</a> Intel Atom D510 - 2 Cores / 4 Threads @ 1,66Ghz Check your local retailers or eBay for similar boards too: <a href="https://geizhals.eu/?cat=mbson&xf=4400_Mini-ITX">https://geizhals.eu/?cat=mbson&xf=4400_Mini-ITX</a>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: <a href="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">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</a>--------------------------------------------------Many M3x14 screws to bolt everything together: <a href="https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DFtP8AF">https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DFtP8AF</a> Two long M4 screws for the front doors.You will also need 4 of these SATA/Molex combo cables, 40cm should be fine: <a href="https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_9J0c7f">https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_9J0c7f</a> To power everything, you need an Flex-ATX / 1U PSU, for example: FSP FSP270-60LE 270W - <a href="https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_98Zb4z">https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_98Zb4z</a>  I would personally recommend going with an reputable brand and PSU, like an Seasonic Flex SUB 300W or similar - <a href="https://geizhals.eu/?cat=gehps&xf=4174_Flex-ATX">https://geizhals.eu/?cat=gehps&xf=4174_Flex-ATX</a> Since most PSUs has not enough Molex connectors, you also need adapters: <a href="https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_9xo0gD">https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_9xo0gD</a>  Check the cabeling of your chosen PSU for how many you need, for example 2 for the Seasonic Flex and FSP FSP270-60LEPowerbutton (16mm Black or Silver, Power on (60cm)) used for front_panel_combined: <a href="https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_A8AjVr">https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_A8AjVr</a> If you are feeling extra fancy, add some rubber pads on the underside: <a href="https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_AsUIkZ">https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_AsUIkZ</a> --------------------------------------------------Other things you will need:<ul><li>DDR2/ DDR3 / DDR4 SO-DIMM RAM depending on your CPU/board - check online go with at least 1x 4GB, buy 2x 4GB if possible  </li><li>120mm PC Fan  3-Pin or 4-Pin connector, depending on your board Arctic F12 are cheap, silent and available everywhere  </li><li>12 magnets sized 5mm x 3mm <a href="https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_AkjWIH">https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_AkjWIH</a> </li></ul>
