WOAH! Fractal released the official case design files for the Baby North Pi case! fractal-design.com/north-pi-3d — this is so cool, now you can print one of your own!

@geerlingguy I didn't realize I wanted a tiny pc case for my pi until now!! Do they sell these pre-made or is the only option to 3d print it?

Jeff Geerling

@danvolchek Only option is 3D printing right now. I still hope they'll build an actual production version someday!

@geerlingguy this is amazing, can now print a case matching my PC for my PI

@geerlingguy you should print a case that you can put 4-6 in and then a rack to hold some drives as well - nice and neat and modular #rackable

Jeff Geerling

@gary_alderson Mmmm... with wood grain accent. That would make for a beautiful rack mount.

gary

@geerlingguy perfect project for rsj and your dad #trim carpenter #bamboo case #sawzall #dremel

gary

@geerlingguy have 4 pi in middle and then 2 pi nas bookends

@gary_alderson @geerlingguy cool! Do you have more details about that build?

gary

@thepanz @geerlingguy it has ssd and 2.5gbe - i want to get remote desktop going but that is not easy with oracle, webmin installs fine

gary

@thepanz @geerlingguy you can install analyst vm - vnc over ssh would be nice #yum #rhel hell

gary

@thepanz @geerlingguy running it off of an nvme is probably best but ssd is enough, i think you can set it up on raid too - i am not running off of a bridge, using a span/mirrored port setup in front

gary

@geerlingguy get some fancy wood like mahogany to trim out front - the rest can be mdf

Hamido

@geerlingguy Perfect. Was hoping we could get our hands on this.

I wonder if some clever person with wood working skills could provide some tips on making those wooden pieces. I have a NIB router I am just dying to use but haven't got a clue.

Thanks for pointing this out! I remember seeing you refer to this recently and wishing they were available. Now to go home and choose some print colors.
