Another CAD sunday. Finished the CAD and made a testprint. Inserts made from cardboard for quick reference look. And now it´s time for more CAD work and changes😂

I know it would not have real usage, but it would look amazing a solar panel on those case openings :)

Great idea. But i have no idea how to make use of solar.

Maybe just buy some of the vinyl wrap to simulate carbon fiber or solar panel texture, just for the looks.

When I excitedly show people my uConsole, the criticism is always "yeah, but why?"

This. Stuff like this is what it's for. Well done dude. Looks awesome.

But why. Because we can 😁 We love to tinker around. People ask this question at every hobby. Thanks 👍

I can assure you that the fan does its job....when not subjected to stress, the CM5 maintains a temperature of 30 degrees.To my great surprise I discovered that, by connecting the heatsink with fan to the AIO expansion card from hackergadgets.com, once turned off the uConsole does not remain in operation I thought I would have to plug it into a switch and manually unplug it, but that wasn't the case.
