This looks a really cool project, but I would love to message the designer before pledging for it, and you cannot message them unless you pledge. .
I still like DVD and & UDV drives and would like to at lease have one external 5.25” drive bay in this computer case project.
So, I am hoping the person, or persons, that have this crowd funded project reads messages on hear.
You should be able to just generally message them don’t need to do it through the pledge page, just view their MW profile and just message them there
The designer here, any particular question you want answered? For the optical bay, I can look into it in the future as an update. I’ll need to do some measurements.
You should be able to ask a question from the crowdfunding page without being a backer. Or you can just click my name there and message me directly on makerworld.
Even with my modern computers I built, it was so hard to find “cool” cases with optical bays. I think direct SATA connections work better than USB optical drives, plus that doesn’t have to be hung on the computer. I guess I am old fashion; I like a BR/DVD drive in my computer - lol. It doesn’t get used much, but it’s nice to have.
Is this for more than a mini-itx MB, although I do have a C64SX (mini-itx/PS built in to an old commodore 64 case) I built in 2024, that I am thinking of tearing apart and rebuilding in an actual case.
Also, a case that can be built, possible for a retro-computer will need a 5.25”/3.5” Bay. 5.25” bays would probably be good enough. I am planning to make a Windows 98/ME system sometime in the next year. I can get plenty of cases, but I would love to 3D print my own. Front panel modification for two 5.25” bays would be cool. It does look like it may be a bit cramped for that. You could go a little bigger for those of us that have H2S size printers.
P.S. - I did throw you a pledge. Too cool of a project not too.
You suggest PTEG. I seem to be having issues with PTEG With my H2S. It does print ABS very well. PTEG is more flexible though? ABS can be more brittle?
