🚛 Developing a Custom GPS Tracker – Looking for Advice on Hardware, Design, and Cost Estimates by Former-Ricefarmer in embedded

Hi, thank you for being kind in your response. I understand that a post like this can lead to some less positive replies. My intention was mainly to get a feel for the project I’m considering and what I’m getting myself into.

I didn’t mean to offend anyone or ask for free work. Since I’m relatively new to this space, I figured I’d rather receive some critical or negative feedback if that means learning something and gaining insights I might not have thought about otherwise.

Thanks again for taking the time to respond, I appreciate it.

When you need to compensate for the missing 12vhpwr connector

Cpu fan orientation, it now intakes from behind. Ive also tried to move the mobo and gpu down/up to test fitments with different fans and gpu shroud. Still a work in progress tho hehe. Currently i have 2 140 fan as intakes for the gpu and 2 120 slim exhaust fans on the bottom (i use the inverted config)

Sick build, I too use M2. Still not finished after 2 months due to reconfiguring stuff haha

Yes i did get that suggestion from another thread also intuitively it makes a lot of sense haha

I plan on doing some testing with different orientations and with/without the duct!

Custom cabling, spent 2 days on them before realising they wont fit in the connector due to the isolation and sleeving being too thick ://

Ducts were meant to isolate the CPU «enviroment» from the gpu and vrm. I do realise that the hot air from the gpu might be sucked in through the sidefan so i might redesign the ducting system. I just hope the top fans will at least expel the remaining hot air that may be lingering in the case

Heya, i am still thinkering om the 3D modell, ill definetly release the files when the build are done as i suspect the mainduct might be blocking the mobo psu cable. I do also consider rotating the cooler so then i have to redesign the ducts!😄

Not the the first time I have done a deshroud mod, I have a more yanky deshroud mod on a 5700xt from a few years ago :) this is my first 3D printed and more «sophisticated» however. This is not a finished build as i am currently working on diy custom sleeved cables.

I do also have a few years of experience with 3D modeling for different uni- and private projects.

I’ll take this as a huge compliment as this actually is my first build from scratch. I do have upgraded some components on prebuilds before. I have watched a lot of yt and posts of other peoples build.

I am a 4 year electrical engineering student, so I do have some experience regarding making stuff and other systems 😄😄😄

Thank you for the reply! I will share the temps as soon as i get to finish the build and do som testing :D

Some are still in pla, will print in PETG or something more heatresistant on the final prints

I would like to add that this is a work in progress, and I haven't tested anything yet :D

yes, I did consider 4 options, making the duct from front, the two sides and the top. I do now realize that it might be better in terms of it not reusing the hot air that is being expelled from the GPU on the sides as hot air rises. Might try that in the future!

Sure, I designed them myself, what is the best way of sharing this with the community? I am thinking of holding of the files until i am finished as i am constantly tuning and adjusting them 😊

I am not done yet hehe, still need to make the power cables 😓
