You sure this is correct link? seems it's corrupt, can't get it to work on Thingiverse, so hereby the other suggestion: https://www.printables.com/model/294423-apollo-miner-funnel-92mm-120mm For me this link worked, so let me know.

It would be great if the model somehow screwed into existing holes of Apollo without modifications. :/ This would definitely affect resale value, right? Most probably, I was not planning to . I preferred to cut the chassis, instead of narrowing the funnel in order to keep flow and reduce the risk of noises due to turbulence. While I don't know how it performs with the funnel, I personally just placed a 120mm PC fan simply sitting on top of the miner (without modifications to the hole's size) and it already drastically reduced noise and heat. So, if anyone wants to modify the 3D model, maybe attempt that before cutting your miners.

Adapter file would be appreciated! As others suggested, you can upload on Thingiverse or Printables. If you get enough downloads on the latter page, you will get free filament, too.

Just the typo is preventing your image to show up. thanks for letting me know, realy appreciated, this whole Mining world opened up a lot of new things for me

Good evening all, 1st of all I would like to thank the Futurebit-team for making it easy for nitwit's to start mining. All running nicely and steady(I did had an issue with the 1st full node, but the new one just started downloading the chain) For the interested co-miners I've modified my 6 Apollo's with a 120mm Noctua fan and 3D-printed 90-120mm adapter. I've also added a picture with the values for 1 month running(total ran 3 months with this setup up) Some might say I f-ed up the smooth design, but I care more for less noise (lower RPM's means less noise) as they are in my room. With this setup you can hardly hear them. Units are currently on eco-mode for summer temperatures, but soon will increase again. If people are interested I can sent the 3D-file for the 90-120mm adapter. Hope this might help somebody if needed. [img width=100 heigth=100]https://imgur.com/a/dxGwJex[/img] Cheers

I have Rri4 with umber LN and BTC Node running and now I need to connect BTC standard unit. trying to run standard unit software on Rpi 4 getting an error message below: ./start_apollo.sh ./apollo-miner: /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.26' not found (required by ./apollo-miner) umbrel@umbrel:~/apollo $ ./start_apollo.sh ./apollo-miner: /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.26' not found (required by ./apollo-miner) umbrel@umbrel:~/apollo $ strings /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 \| grep GLIBCXX GLIBCXX_3.4 GLIBCXX_3.4.1 GLIBCXX_3.4.2 GLIBCXX_3.4.3 GLIBCXX_3.4.4 GLIBCXX_3.4.5 GLIBCXX_3.4.6 GLIBCXX_3.4.7 GLIBCXX_3.4.8 GLIBCXX_3.4.9 GLIBCXX_3.4.10 GLIBCXX_3.4.11 GLIBCXX_3.4.12 GLIBCXX_3.4.13 GLIBCXX_3.4.14 GLIBCXX_3.4.15 GLIBCXX_3.4.16 GLIBCXX_3.4.17 GLIBCXX_3.4.18 GLIBCXX_3.4.19 GLIBCXX_3.4.20 GLIBCXX_3.4.21 GLIBCXX_3.4.22 GLIBCXX_3.4.23 GLIBCXX_3.4.24 GLIBCXX_3.4.25 GLIBCXX_DEBUG_MESSAGE_LENGTH Version: cat /etc/debian_version 10.10 I am running a standalone on a RPi 4 and here are the steps that I went thru to get it running. How to Install 64-Bit OS on RPi 4 (4Gb) and get FutureBit Apollo BTC Standalone miner working Get 64-Bit Raspberry Pi Image https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspios_arm64/images/ Image with Pi Imager Have to use Custom Image option for now as 64-bit version is not listed. Raspberry Pi Imager Tool (https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/ ) Boot RPi with new card Perform normal settings (SSH, Wifi, password, etc.) Optionally: sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade to get all updates applied. Download RPi software from: https://github.com/jstefanop/Apollo-Miner-Binaries/releases/ Get the aarch64 files and download and expand to folder of your choice These are the Apollo miner executable along with start/stop scripts Scripts will need editing for the user’s pool information, otherwise your mining power will benefit someone else. Install Prerequisites for Apollo Miner Sudo apt-get install screen Required for the Start_all script Update Libstdc++ code Append a line to file “/etc/apt/sources.list” Type: Sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list to edit the file. Add this line: deb http://deb.debian.org/debian sid main Ctrl-w, Ctrl-x to save and exit. Then run sudo apt update sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade libstdc++6 Confirm your Standalone Apollo-BTC is visible: ls /dev/ttyACM* You should see this form of output for each attached standalone miner: /dev/ttyACM0 Cd into your miner folder and type this to get started: sudo ./start_apollo.sh Or this if you have more than one unit: sudo ./miner_start_all.sh I documented this as I was going thru sorting out the issues that I had, but I think it will get you up and running.. Thanks for posting this thread, it got me up and running with a Pi. I had to set this up due to issues with my SSD drive. The cmd "ls /dev/ttyACM*" shows all 3 units are connected and they start hashing(flashing red light and slowly warming up of the metal underplate). ONLY thing is I can't see any fan control lines in the scripts. So as I felt the underplate of the miner warming up, I've switched them OFF and maybe somebody can verify IF the fan on the USB miner is controlled via the Raspberry script on the 3 different settings? Hope somebody can help this script-nitwit, before I screw up my units. Thanks in advance.

Quote from: an0nymousmade on March 17, 2022, 05:13:15 PM Hello everyone! So I just bought a 850W PSU to run my full node system on Turbo. But dont find the way to connect the system and turn it on. Anyone doing this already ? Thanks I used the Scotch (b)locks on pin 4 and pin 5(block which normally goes onto the motherboard of the PC. [img width=100 heigth=100]https://imgur.com/7w2tdPk[/img] [img width=100 heigth=100]https://imgur.com/HCYzd00[/img] Hope it helps.
