broke + no dram, so I'm 3d printing my servers now

qubixal memory technologies (qxmt) prints its first 3x downscaled DDR5 ECC RDIMM at 32GB capacity using 32Gb modules

after some time thinking about it, i decided at this scale it was better to take the two piece locking mechanism design of a typical dimm slot to one piece (no reference intended).
this was because of:

  1. easier printing, 2. easier to produce consistently 3. easier designing
    and it works! after about ~5 prototypes (i think?) the dram slot works. now i think the only thing left is to create the CPU latching mechanism.

image: a rough diagram showing flaws (oh yeah first design also bent because of unstable base because the ram stick would push the unevenly extruded latching arms out)

notdev log #2
basically finished every major hardware component.
worked on:

  1. fan exhaust system + mountable radiator
  2. adjusted sff->pci splitter board dimensions to fit
  3. added PSU adapter/expansion boards (-> 8pin pwr/24pin mobo)

next step is to finalise DRAM attachment system on the motherboard.

DRAM prices so bad that I’m building a server rack (in fusion)

The goal is to build a full 4U server rack, scale it down and 3D print it. Then, print a full shelf of racks. Keep going and you get infinite compute.

What I’ve done:

  1. Fully modelled GPU (design adapted from 5090/RTX Pro 6000), M.2 SSD, SFF and Network Adapter Cards, Power Supply
  2. Partially modelled Dual-CPU EATX Motherboard.

Every part has been modelled by hand to reference materials. As the end result will be scaled down, many parts have been widened to accomodate that.

Thank you for your support!
