Good evening all.
I present to you…The Framework 13 Mullet Promax! (yes the name needs workshopping i get it)
Business in the front:
Party in the back:
Disclaimer: If you look too closley at the print quality your eyes may or may not be permanently damaged. Look at your own risk.
Ok so this is 4th? 5th? 4th? 3d printed project of mine. I dont know why I do it honestly. I enjoy it but fark is it a lot of work when your already trying to work every hour of the day n night just to get by…
Anyway, the goal: I like you, love the idea of a modular computer, but also am obsessed with gaming. (literally only like one game, am I even a gamer?) And the biggest issue with a teeny tiny processor is A) no dedicated GPU and B) it gets as hot as boiling water in a heartbeat. So the answer to A is to install oculink, which introduces the question of where? (no do not talk to me about usb4, I am not a child) and the answer to B is MOAR FANS!
Occa’s:
MOAR blowers:
Oh I forgot to mention, this is a battery folded underneath motherboard orientation case, as per Shadow Chasers post here:
The idea is to create depth in the case so that fans such as these or a laptop cooler (with an adapter to the opening) can pump air to the actual right side of the mobo where the small sun is operating, rather than ineffectually cooling the bottom of a mobo like every other laptop/laptop cooler combo does.
This idea came about as Ive been using this for some time:
But would often get called in to meetings in which I would have to appear at immediately with all presentable information on my screen at a size only small rodents could possibly read. While this previous version worked well, as I have a 49" 1440P screen at home, and a screen at work that powers the whole shebang and also operates as a hub for peri-ferals.
So reinvent the wheel it was. Also, oppurtunity to go outrageous semi flurescent green/yellow.
At home I have my own egpu design with a reasonably priced RTX 3070:
And with it, yonder results were obtained:
The development of this print was a total nightmare of a shitshow, and thank god I got given a Creality K1 Max for xmas, because otherwise it would have taken forever to print and would not looked this good (such as it is). I couldnt be bothered making the see through bits more see through (using PVB) by the time I made seven test fits sections for just the top plate fit, and printed the whole print unsuccesfully 5 times. Out of that came the idea to switch to see through filament midway for the lights, so silver lining there I guess.
From the start of project 1 back in 202 something I have sacrificed to the god of poorly managed plans: 1 x 3060ti, 1 x 1280P motherboard, 1 x soldering iron, 1 x coolermaster PSU, 1 x 500w hdplex PSU, 1 x Onedock egpu (I replaced it, but I use my Ogre more often (see my first project)). I have suffered multiple lacerations from craftknives cutting towards myself, and burns from soldering irons I didnt remember were still on. I really, really hope I no longer have this itch (I doubt it).
Thats enough blathering, here are more pics. CAD is still in Beta so is a while away from release on Printables (STLs are so rough and open) but will get there at some point:
Thoughts I guess?
Im really just posting this to try and get some closure…
Thanks for watching.
