3D printed PC with only 1 fan

Small Form Factor printable case for AMD Raven Ridge systems - phkahler/mellori_ITX

3D printed PC with only 1 fan launched on August 18, 2022 with 15 votes, #897 of 3,307 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 4 years on.

In plain words

This is a 3D-printed personal computer designed with minimal cooling requirements, featuring only a single fan. Built from custom 3D-printed components, it offers an alternative approach to traditional PC construction for hobbyists and makers interested in custom hardware projects. The design prioritizes simplicity and novel manufacturing methods, making it suitable for those exploring additive manufacturing in computer building. The project is available on GitHub for interested builders.

  • I designed my own 3D printer motherboardDec 2025 · github.com · ▲127

    3D printing is such a fascinating field of technology, so a couple months ago, I decided to take a deep dive and learn how they actually work! This took me to one of my very first PCB projects, a small, cheap, 3D printer motherboard. While it's not the most cutting edge board, I learned a lot and I fully documented my process designing it (https://github.com/KaiPereira/Cheetah-MX4-Mini/blob/master/J...), so other people can learn from my mistakes! It runs off of an STM32H743 MCU, has 4 TMC stepsticks with UART/SPI configurations,…

  • I built an under-the-door fan duct to lower bedroom CO22025 · lepekhin.com · ▲64

    Hi HN, This is my attempt to fix groggy mornings by lowering my bedroom CO2 from 1700 ppm to ~900 ppm. I designed a simple, 3D-printed fan duct that directs air under the door to improve air circulation. A note on the design process: I used CadQuery, a Python library for creating parametric 3D models. I didn't know tools like this existed and highly recommend it if you can program; it turned out to be more convenient than manually iterating on prototypes in a GUI. The project is open source and the post explains the full build. Happy to answer any questions.

    Hey HN, I've been working on https://pornpen.ai, a site for generating adult images. Please only visit the site if you are 18+ and willing to look at NSFW images. This site is an experiment using newer text-to-image models. I explicitly removed the ability to specify custom text to avoid harmful imagery from being generated. New tags will be added once the prompt-engineering algorithm is fine-tuned further. If the servers are overloaded, take a look at the feed and search pages to look through past results.
