I moved my #Pine64 #quartz64 NAS to my #minirack !
I designed (using #FreeCAD) a 100% custom shelf for the power supply, the SATA controller and the SBC and 3D printed it.
This is the first time I design a 3D model! I don't even own a 3D printer! It's not perfect, but I'm happy with the result!

I've been using my Mark 1 SMEDulator SMED/Changeover simulator in my worshops and classes for 25 years. I thought it time to upgrade with a @freecad.org modeled and 3d printed Mark 2.
I just did a demo video showing me taking 16 minutes and each of my grandkids (7/9) 30 sec.

My #cyberdeck build is almost done.
#3dprint is complete, parts are assembled but not painted yet.
Still working on the #rust TUI application that runs on the main screen.
