CM3588 NAS case

[sgofferj]

In case, anybody is interested, I made a quick and dirty design for a case for the CM3588 NAS board with 2x 40mm fans blowing across: https://github.com/sgofferj/CM3588-NAS-case

This is very nice.
Probably a hole for the power button on the front side and a hole for a small OLED display and that would be perfect. I am very noob for 3D modeling so I will just to try one case already existing.

Oh that's sound great. I like your idea!

Got it printed out, nice casing even it is a little high for me.
I changed the fan with 5V one and get it connected directly to the fan pin : I have 31.5°C in average.
For PCB and top I used metal insert to get better fixation.
Now I will buy the OLED screen to make it a try.

Thanks again for sharing you work.

If anyone is interested, I wrote a simple Python-based systemd service to make use of the OLED screen and User button.

Thanks it seems to be very nice. Waiting for my Oled screen I will then make a try : you save my time as I was wondering to make something similar .

I am on openmediavault and did not find a way to get i2c-8 to work ;(

That's the issue I had with official openmediavault image. So I decided to switch to Armbian and finally made it working. Also on Armbian (which is based on Debian 12) you can install newer version of openmediavault.
But...
I have no idea how to install it on eMMC, so my NAS is booting from uSD card...

[Gimli]

There is a Debian image available with instructions to install on eMMC at https://wiki.friendlyelec.com/wiki/inde ... Install_OS

Is there any specific reason you'd rather use ARMbian rather than that Debian install? You may be able to replace the OS files in the provided image so the installer uses your version of ARMbian instead the Debian 11 image.

I know about official Debian and that it can be installed on eMMC but it has the same "issue" as official OpenMediaVault - I can't find a way to enable I2C because /boot folder is almost empty and there's no dtb files and no config.txt-like file to enable overlays.
On Arbian it's all there and that's the only reason. I'd be more than happy if I can use pure Debian 12 installed on eMMC with the ability to enable/disable different overlays.

anyone have a rough idea of pricing to print this case ?

[Pharizna]

I’ve just receipt this case. It’s very nice… and expensive

One question about the fan speed control. Any idea to control it from Debían, for example … or from Proxmox?

[yaazzz]

May I ask which Armbian Image you are using, I will make it a try.

I see that you have two fans. Did you use the onboard header? Do you know how much power it can supply?
