Open hardware enclosure for SBC boards compatible with the Orange Pi 5 form factor, designed using FreeCAD.
The project is intended to be flexible and reusable, allowing multiple use cases rather than being limited to a single purpose.
This enclosure supports:
- SBC boards with dimensions compatible with the Orange Pi 5 Ultra
- M.2 slot for storage atapter
- Two 3.5" regular HDDs
- Dedicated space for a power supply
- Space for a voltage regulator
- Modular and parametric structure
It can be used for projects such as:
- Home server
- Homelab
- NAS
- Application server
- Other SBC-based use cases
