et la diy case,toujours pas

Hi, and what about DIY case? In future, will it be possible to order everything in one package for better price? Or it will be sold separatelly? I´m not sure, if I have to wait also for case and make one order or buy it sepatelly…

Am I right, that it won´t fit into original acrylic case?

And last thing - will it be compatible to use together VIM 2 Max + heatsink + cooling fan + Tone board + DIY case?

Hello, thank you very much for your suggestion.
here is the link for Khadas Cooling fan + Heatsink Set.

==> Yes, that is a very good suggestion. We will have both separated SKU and all set SKU to meet different requirement of users.

==> I think VIMs Series we will keep one SKU, and heatsinks/cooling fan/tone board such these accessories will keep another SKUs.
but VIMs+DIY Case shall be have a new SKU.
Thank you. We are appreciated for your attention and suggestion. :blush:

More VIm Fun

This time the case with DTV Fitted sorta

was a pity can’t plug Tone Board in by just removing 40 pin cover from lid
But
Just fit the lid of the old Vim and it can now plug In :wink:

Also clear base plate of vim, spaced with some 2/3mm nuts just for the look I guess :smiley:

Bit of a drill and fit a fan and away we go

Needed to improvise with Spacers to make it all sit and stick solid
I tried to utilize the built in nuts in the black part of vim case and thread bolts from both sides to hold, but nope too long or too short, spacing things out was looking better but still not happy, many variations tried before the final design.

Then the three became One :wink:

Bit of fun
Enjoy

Heatsink looks very nice under glass.

But the benefit of it in this form is almost no, there is no air circulation.

It is necessary to make holes in the lid to ensure the movement of air. :wink:

A new clear lid with fan cut out on opposite end to accommodate 40 pin header.

All this Only happens as I tried to fit all in one.
Current design new Vim case not really suited for Tone Board

Yes, good point, though the GPIO opening will still allow for a little ventilation.
In my own VIM, the fan is specifically setup to positively evacuate case air out the rear. I don’t have the new case yet, but will probably pickup one of the clear ones when they release.
My heatsink is on the way. :slight_smile:
