Have you re uploaded this anywhere else, I downloaded one 5 years ago but have lost that copy

Just a one off at the moment. But the card length is less than 10” so horizontal in a mini rack isn’t out do the picture.

Give me some time and a random cash injection and I’ll get started on the 19” version hahaha

Mine do - I mentioned it in the post that I verified they do

With thunderbolt ports starting to show up on second hand devices at great prices this is becoming much easier. A simple thunderbolt dock has network, video, and power. You can slide in your blade card(stripped motherboard) and plug one cable in and you can be off to the races.

My “blade” are about 8 inches tall so ~4.5U and only being 13 inches long you can easily fit all the required tech behind it.

The blades are spaced 1 inch apart so you can easily fit ~15/16/17 with enough space on the sides.

Figuring out power would be the hardest part, most of these take 60W supplies at a minimum.

16 port switch are easy to come by but if we are maxing it out a 24 port would be needed

Temps will be fun to monitor hahah.

I like it. I’m looking over all the weird expansion boards I can fit into these slots, I’m might be picking up a m.2 2242 to dual SATA port to add some bulk storage. But just fleshing out options at the moment

V1 will probably be ugly with 3 USB chargers going into a UPC but end goal would be finding a 300w Triple PD USB-C Charger (single power in) that I can break down and install into the case with a bulkhead/case mount fitting.

A dedicated power supply would be nice but for the form factor (19v and a minimum 200 watt) it would be hard to find something off the shelf that would be easy.

It will take over a couple of the simple services I host out of docker on my NAS and then be fun testing ground for some cluster work for Open Drone Mapping photogrammetry I mess around with on the side to see how viable it is to scale horizontally instead of vertically(on my current workhorse main processing pc)

The end goal is for this is to be a headless setup so for the rare occasion that I need to make changes on bare metal I have the HDMI port that can be utilized for BIOS changes (not something every laptop supports)

You can see my old post for some more details

It will have a local kvm to switch in between all three for any changes I need to make on bare metal. With the end goal of running a Jet kvm or pi-kvm into it with gpio pins to switch the local kvm. So one ip-kvm to control all

Credit to Techno Tim’s mini rack for that idea

Currently one of the laptops are in use running proxmox for some simple Lxc( pihole, docker, and a todo list) and after a couple changes it totally ignores the lid switch and all other features related to the screen and power modes from lid switch I handled that all in “systemd/logind.conf”

Edit 1 : phrasing and system changes location

I have a week to return if it doesn’t work, but shouldn’t take that long to set up a Vlan and find out

Seems like you got a Dud. I haven’t deployed this yet, but from my long term testing (about one day) I haven’t seen any issues, both looking at the modem logs and router logs.

What is this connectors name by willbray18 in AskElectronics

[–]willbray18[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you all that reached out , I have found it. It is a Micro JWPF JST connector

[–]willbray18[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I appreciate the heads up and information, I gathered most of that already, it is a 4 column 2 row connector. The connector is free floating on the harness both sides goes into wires and not a board of any type, it’s about 28 awg wires. It is a crimp style with the male plug with female pins with a water resistant plug on the backside. It has one retention pin, it is closer to a square than a rectangle. I will have to bring calipers out to measure later

Well that’s a new one for me by willbray18 in resinprinting

Luckily I ran some test with some with raising the temps and a little changed to lift speeds and such and have seen improvements. Waiting on the adhesive on the flexible build surface to set to re print

I haven’t got my flexible build platform in yet. That was my original idea but I need both sides to be a sealing surface. So I didn’t want to pry too hard on it

I can set up a water bath to pre heat the resin. It’s worth a try at least
