@wendell
I liked this video. Thank you

3d printing idea:
smartphone back camera slider.
I don’t like cameras pointing at everything. So I put alu foil between the glass and the front camera of my devices. The back camera is sometimes useful, a 3d printed slider for the back would be lovely.

note_1: I never use cases, I’ve replaced the screen of my poco 4 times. Still a great device. (I love the build-in auto call recorder.)
note_2: I’ve also removed the fingerprint sensor and added a stainless steel filler.

Slider would be a bit tricky, what phone? How would you attach it?

Hi. I really liked the idea of those wheels and the case in general. Last year I build my NAS with that case and instantly added those wheels. ^^

After around 3 months, the wheels tilted inwards and were very loose. That’s why i redesigned it with 2x 8 mm steel rods for support.
I finally found the motivation to upload it. It can be found here, if someone is interested:

@wendel Thanks for the video, the idea and the original files I build upon

I also designed HDD Trays with a SAS adapter holder:

And i also want to upload my files for the Fan mount between the lower HDD cages and the Intel RES2SV240 SAS expander + Fan duct and axial fan mount i use with my perc H200 HBA

Great work. Thanks!

Allthough I’ve already purchased a few HDD trays :slight_smile:
