This…. Is brilliant.
can i also 3d print the hdds?
LMAO If only !
You MONSTER!
How cool!!
Can it take the heat and weight of a bunch of hard drives?
Parity check for over 5 hours on 12 drives, hottest drive 40C, (28C in the room...)
No problem for the weight
This is super dope! I dont have a 3D printer but i wish i did. Thank you for contributing to the community
Your local library (if you're in a big city) will have some for free use. They might have limits on job size, you might use up a year's worth of 3d printing credits to do one job like this... and without doubt there are commercial shops in your city that'll print a job for you. Question is, what would the latter come out cost wise.
Very cool. I would love to see someone do this but with a 12 drive backplane like the supermicro SAS2 one which are only $50 or so on ebay. Would simplify cable management and support both SAS and SATA.
Honest question - how much does this cost to print? Is it actually more economical?
