UDOO x86 Case with SATA SSD/HDD compartment and fan

thingiverse

**Description** I made this case to protect my Udoo x86 running as Linux home server. This is my first more complex design I made with the open source software *FreeCAD* (https://www.freecadweb.org/). There is a compartment for a 63,5 mm ('2,5"') SSD/HDD and a 50x50x15 mm fan should keep the disk and board cool. For better mechanical connections I used insert nuts which I molded into the plastic using an soldering iron. Currently there are no holes for the GPIO headers beacuse I don't need them right now. **Used Parts** *Fan* 1x Fan, DC, axial, 12VDC, 50x50x15mm, 21,93m3/h, 30,1dBA Manufacturer: SUNON Model No: ME50151V3-000U-A99 https://www.tme.eu/en/details/me50151v3-a99/dc12v-fans/sunon/me50151v3-000u-a99/ *Fan connector* To connect the fan to the Udoo board I used the following MOLEX PicoBlade connector and soldered it to the fan wires. The PicoBlade connectors were a bit hard to get, so I've put some order links here too. 1x 3-PIN female Molex PicoBlade Connector, 1,25mm, 125V Manufacturer: MOLEX Model No: 510210300 https://www.tme.eu/en/details/mx-51021-0300/raster-signal-connectors-125mm/molex/510210300/ 2x contact, female, wire 28AWG, PicoBlade, 1,25mm Manufacturer: MOLEX Model No: 006660015 https://www.tme.eu/en/details/mx-06-66-0015/raster-signal-connectors-125mm/molex/006660015/ *Insert nuts* For the board: M3x5mm Brass insert nut, closed, internal thread https://www.banggood.com/100Pcs-M3-x-5mm-Brass-Single-Pass-Knurled-Nuts-Female-Thread-Blind-Hole-Insert-Embedded-Nuts-p-1185240.html For the fan and the lid: M4x4mm - Brass insert nut, open, internal thread https://www.banggood.com/100Pcs-M4-x-4mm-Brass-Knurled-Nuts-Insert-Female-Thread-Round-Insert-Embedded-Nuts-p-1184177.html *Screws* Board: 4x M3x6 Fan: 4x M4x20 Lid: 4x M4x8
