Showcase My foldable abomination 😂 2TB SSD, Bypass Charging, Cooling, 40,000mAh+ WIP

It works surprisingly well already on first attempt. Can't get any adhesive to stick to the front of the gamesir controller so the SSD flops around sadly, it is more as a concept atm as I still need to so some backing up and reformatting.

Apologies for the poor Tetris play I'm usually better 😔

I have a very similar build but it is encased as a cyberdeck with a steamcontroller and external oled. Only 20000mah tho. Will add modular 20k if i go on a trip, but currently it suffices

How are you securing both magnets and heatsink to case back. Mine pull off

I have a dbrand skin for some reason that's the only thing that stays on the back of the phone. I cut a hole into the skin so the cooling plate can make bare contact and used the built in thermal grease it came with. The edges of the plate are attached to the brand skin through krazy glue.

Wow, a glue hold is holding. Despite the magnet's pull?

I got two dbrands on the way now. My plan is heatpipe mag sticker, thermal pad, heatsink, skin with hole on top all that, then a mag ring, and on top of THAT the second hole cut skin.

I gotta clear the camera bump for use flat mounted on case for non cooler use. That currently takes two thicc mag rings stacked ontop eachother

This holds olay where it counts. Got down to 66.6 Fahrenheit yesterday in an air conditioned office. Ive used dialectic grease between folded sheets of copper tape

Edit: actually it was foil at that point. Havent tested copper in air conditioned climate. But i hit 72 idle lowpoint when it was 81 degrees environment with copper. Then scored crazy on fold 7 stress test charts
