thingiverse

This is a 2x 3.5" bay NAS cased based on an Odroid XU4Q (or XU4). The case has been printed and validated. A good starting point for the NAS software side can be found here: https://wiki.odroid.com/odroid-xu4/software/ubuntu_nas/ubuntu_nas This configuration features 100Mb/s file transfer via a 1Gb Ethernet link. For HDD this is close to the theoretical maximum transfer speed. Please leave comments for feature requests. The compact version of this housing requires connections to 230/110V - high-voltage can be deadly! Only commence this assembly, if you are trained to work with 230V. Seek help from professionals, if not. There is an will be no explanation/plan of or support for the electrical wiring inside this NAS in this project. You can always stick to the non-230V version and use external power supplies! Parts needed for the housing: Screws for mounting HDDs 6-32 UNC 3/4 (phillips preferred) 120mm Fan (a TC version for noise reduction) 2x Fan grills to protect cabling & fingers For 230/110V compact NAS: Mean Well RS-25 12V 2A Mean Well RS-25 5V 5A Power Inlet IEC320 C14 For external panel mounted ports: 1x HDMI 1x Ethernet 1x USB 2.0 1x USB 3.0 You can get most of these parts at Aliexpress or other sources. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/WSFS-Hot-Solder-Lug-Terminals-IEC-320-C14-EMI-Filter-Boat-Switch-Fuse-Holder/32833213235.html https://www.aliexpress.com/item/High-Speed-USB-3-0-Male-To-Female-USB-3-0-Extension-Cable-Wire-Computer-Host/32827197393.html https://www.aliexpress.com/item/USB-2-0-Extension-Cable-Male-to-Female-With-Screw-Panel-Mount-24AWG-28AWG-30cm-50cm/32780159315.html https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Gold-HDMI-Extension-Cable-Lead-High-Speed-HDMI-Male-to-Female-Ethernet-Extender-with-Screw-Hole/32700650084.html https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1pcs-30cm-8Pin-RJ45-Cable-Male-to-Female-Screw-Panel-Mount-Ethernet-LAN-Network-8-Pin/32807107289.html Development Log: 04.07.2018 - Back side case v3 with adjusted stand-off for the Odroid XU4(Q) board. Now it can be mounted both ways without clearance issues with the HDMI connector. 30.06.2018 - Front side v3 with 120mm fan opening slightly reduced to make it fit to the fan inner radius (air tight). 10.06.2018 - The backside part is has been printed and tested but there is a collision at the panel ports with the upper HDD --> corrected in v2 models Credits: The renderings and drawings include modified models from GrabCAD.com and others like https://grabcad.com/library/odroid-xu4-2, https://grabcad.com/library/mean-well-rs-25-1, etc. Unfortunately, I can not trace back, where I got everything from.
