After watching again some parts of the video, I can say that he really worth the 3$ a month. Having to design some functional parts myself, I know the amount of thinking and work it takes to make something like this. And seeing how he designs his stuff, sometime, he gives me idea on how to solve a problem. Go buy him a coffee or 2!

FANTASTIC!! Now we need a 8 drive version, that acomodate a m-atx mobo :D
-
Now the only thing missing is a backplane. There are lots of PCB manufacurers that ship boards internationally within a week nowadays. So it's definitely feasible for a DIY project.

This is so fantastic, nice work once again! I already printed the 4-bay version and I'm quite happy with it. But now you're tempting me to start over from scratch and print a new NAS case. Adding a total of 5 drives (2x 3.5" and 3x 2.5") is such an amazing upgrade! Thanks!
-
Thanx for all the cool case projects! As well as the individual pricing per project, this will really motivate me in printing and building one of these cases. I cannot wait for a new mATX case!😎
-
Looks awesome. I’d love to see a rack mount sized version, even if it has to utilize something like a rack mount metal shelf for support.
-
Another nice addition to your line of printed case! Good job!
-
Wow, what an upgrade you managed in this v2, awesome stuff. Easy swap trays for 3.5 and 2.5 drives is great
-
This looks great. Nice job with the new case. I love the new hard drive locks and easy swap.
-
Very nice build. It looks really good :D Keep up the good work, and let the comments on this video inspire you to further development. Huge thumbs up.

This is great! Love watching this project develop! Awesome job 👍
-
ive been building pc's for a very long time and the usb trick stunned me. thank you
-
Thats more like a mini server then just a NAS 😳🤘. So great, and so many little details, all those interlocking parts. I realy love what you did there 🥰.
-
This is awesome! I'm for sure using this on my new nas server! thank you
-
Wow! I am truly sorry I didn't catch this video until 5 days after post. You've really out done yourself.
-
This is absolutely gorgeous!
-
Brilliant. Two thoughts. 1) maybe TPU washers at the drive mounts. 2) would love to see a video series on how you actually design these. I don’t care for onshape, but would love to see how you think about and plan these amazing designs.
-
Wow, nice case! Your design is awesome.
-
Absolutely amazing! Glad to see your work again. :)

I’m impressed, really cool build
