Thank you for sharing.

I do wonder how these would hold up with all the heat when printed with ABS ? PLA of course, is definitely a no-no as it will tend to get "soft".

[edited for accuracy]

I print ABS at 230 degrees Celsius and it's solid below 105 Celsius.   It will soften above 90 celsius (194 degrees fahrenheit)

Great efforts, loving the DIY progress, and hacks!

I am interested in a cabling-kit for K16s. Like, chaining them and cabling for powering several of them with one PCIe-connector.
Europe here, by the way.

I bet if your prices are reasonable, you could easily create the "standart solution", with 3 out of 4 Klondikes using it.

I'll have a FORM1 in a month or so.. not sure if its resin holds up to heat better or worse than ABS

Congrats!   I'd love to see your prints.  

[massnerder]

how much are those dual k16 adapters going to be?  any idea when you might start selling these?  and maybe the stupid question, but you listed possible prices in usd, will you also be taking btc?
thanks!

will do, hoping very soon!

Yup, I can accept PayPal, BTC, and CC's.

I was tweaking a couple adapters yesterday, and now have a working print to mount at least a dozen K16's into the ATX motherboard area of any computer case.   

The dual adapters have a problem with cabling.  When you plug in two PCIEx6 power cables, one or two usb cables, and maybe an i2c cable or two, the boards will be too close and the adapter will be in the way.  I don't think two K16's are going to fit into a 5.25" or 3.5" bay.  I think I'm going to focus more on the other adapters...

I will sell them when I'm confident they will work with the boards that are going to ship.

nice!  i will definitely be in for a few 3.5'' / 5.25'' adapters, and maybe for the atx one as well.  that sucks about the dual adapters but oh well i guess.  i am thinking about dedicating a case to these so i will have room for expansion after i get my first few k16s hashing.  will be keeping an eye on these

I've made a bunch of changes and finalized the following designs:

K16 to 3.5" HDD Bay:


Can be mounted in 3 different positions.

K16 to 5.25" Drive Bay:


Can be mounted in 3 different positions.

K16 to ARK 4U case rail:



K16 to PCI Express x16 slot:



These four will be for sale via a website within 48 hours.

The K16 to 3.5" with BTC logo should be ready by then too.

order placed!  any guesstimate when the atx bracket / plate thing will be available and how much it might cost?

Well it's pretty much ready - but what I originally thought would fit sixteen K16's, is not going to fit that many.  How many do you want to be able to mount?

[jdape]

how much it might cost?

$80 plus $5 shipping.  Any less and it would not be worth making.  It would include the adapter plates (pre-assembled), one adapter per K16, and about 6 pieces of steel hardware per adapter & K16 combo.  At least ten K16's will fit on it and its about 22cm x 22cm.

Isn't more better??    I saw you had said a dozen above so that's what I was thinking, but 10 would be about as low as I would like.

[jdape]

It's going to depend on the size of the heatsinks, which no one knows (?) yet.

FYI, the case I will be using is here:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811182566

Happens to be 15% off today ($81 shipped).

It holds at least ten (maybe up to 15) K16's without using anything but my 3.5", 5.25", and 4U hanging adapters.  Plus it has room for ATX power supply and at least four 120mm - 140mm case fans.
