I think its amazing that Ali commented on this video. :) Two of my favorite SFF YT Creators in on place... I'd love to see him collab with Josh from NFC (Not From Concentrate). :D
I wish someone would make a case like this without space for a graphics card and with an external power brick. I would love to build my own mini-ITX router but all the cases are too big.
@@athmaid Nope, he definitely used the notched dimm, you can clearly see the upper corner of the gpu crossing over where that part of the ram stick should be. I mean, if there's no pcb traces running through there, that's free extra space for the build! Worth!!! This guy's for sure a nutcase though lol.
Ive watched this video countless times since its dropped and its really making me want to do this build. Ive currently got a dan a4 and Ive been drooling over the velka 3 forever but i didn't think it was small enough to justify also switching my power supply and graphics card but this changes things for sure.
This is super cool. I'd love something like this but my performance requirements are far greater than something like this would allow (Threadripper 7060X + 256GB of RAM + RTX 4090. I do VFX and video editing in addition to gaming, but I'd love to just be able to toss my PC into my backpack and go to a friend's place)
what is the next step in making it smaller? crazy idea, maybe integrating all components in the case like those chinese designers did with the GPU shroud.
100% depends. Usually it hurts and gives worse results...but sometimes you have to go so small that heatsink won't fit in their usual place, and that is the true power of liquid cooling.
Hey this is really awesome! Whenever I see a 3d printed case I think about the 4TF -- such a cool design and the customization options are infinite. I'd love to see it with anodized aluminum or brass. I'm a bit confused about the plastic screws being metal cores. I'm not sure what you meant and it would be nice if you may clarify that for me, but no worries if you are busy! Best of luck with the next skyreach 4 tiny run!
Thanks for the kind words! What I meant about the screws--they are long. They go deep into the support beams. So they reinforce the support beams and make everything very rigid. For the 4TF video people asked why I didn't use brass nutserts there, but they are not the right tool for the job. Those can only hold 5 or 6mm of plastic, whereas these are holding 40mm of plastic. Since they dont need to be unscrewed once assembled, they are the right tool for the job. Hope this makes sense.
@@NotFromConcentrate Yep! Makes prefect sense! I thought you meant actual metal screws, so I'm glad I asked you! I'd like make a larger version of the 4TF, but I'm not sure how to modify the STL files (I know you said not to ask about the files, so please ignore if I'm overstepping a boundary). Do the files on patron have the meshes? Thank you if you have the time, no worries if not! I feel bad for asking since I'm sure you're busy!
@@dl5185 The Patreon files do better than meshes, they are solid body STEP files. So you can easily mod them in a CAD program of your choice. I use F360 which is free to makers with some limits that won't really apply to resizing the project.
One of my favourite materials is HIPS. Yes it will poison you, so consider leaving the room during print and then airing well afterwards, BUT it can be printed beautifully on an open frame printer. There's very little warping, matte surface, long term endurance, shock and repeat stress resistant, low creep, and over 90°C temperature resistance. The melt is quite compliant and obeys retraction and pressure quite well, unlike say PETG. The poison bit is styrene monomer, but there's an order of magnitude less of it emitted than from ABS. It's also very cheap. I don't know why it's treated as a joke by everyone. I think the real joke is ABS. Worst material ever, i wish it fell off a cliff and was never found again. PLA is also a bit of a joke because all the prints i have had 2-4 years later if they have any sort of usefulness they start showing crazing around pressure spots, yellow discolouration and just crumbling, when it used to be super strong at first right out of the printer, impressively strong. At least PLA is very easy to make pretty prints with, very well behaved melt.
I haven't made it yet, but it's a APU build with 3D printed braces that you can put feet on and turn the system upside down to run bigger fans in the S4T. I call it the S4T-D.
Big fan of your work. Love the passion and ambition. You or others might can answer this. I want to buy a CNC router or Laser cutter/engraver. I don't care about making a lot of money with them but I want to make my money back on them. I eventually want both. I was looking at getting crealitys newer 40w laser with the full enclosure first. Then for the CNC router I was looking at some of onefinitys options.
I'm sure there are scenarios where the 4060LP is faster. But I've done several builds now with each and have benchmarks up with many games and utilities and the A4000 bests them. Why that is, I don't know. Maybe the 4060LP isn't as fast as the desktop version? Either way, for gaming, its close. For professional work, including my work, the A4000 is much faster. Even my shunt modded A2000 12GB can beat the 4060LP in many apps. Thank you for your comments!
@@NotFromConcentrate The result is clear man. Sick effects, awesome cinematic angles and on top of that the perfect sff build i was looking for. Awesome work man!
I'm glad you think this is stylish! But no, it's not a NUC. It is a case designed for off the shelf PC components (STX, ITX) so you can have a PC many times the power of a NUC. You can put a 7950X in this thing if you wanted, and being that it has video output, it's a choice many of my customers have made.
I have different styles for different levels of expertise. The cases from this video are fairly simple to make but require very basic CAD skills if you want to edit anything. If you need help with them I can make these cases for you if you contact me. Peace.
Help me understand what you mean by this. Which PCs are you comparing? Are you comparing cases? Components? Apples to apples? Or oranges to roller-skates? :)
I placed the order today and money is leaving my banks account. I have to take it one step at a time, and usually they sell out so fast that people are mad because they got no warning. So this time I'm trying my best to make everyone happy.
I love your vids but I'm calling BS on the 4060 LP / 4000 SFF comparison graph. I understand this was application specific, but that's very misleading.
I already did! In the past! :D This video is like a season recap. If you go to our channel we have many videos showing these builds with all the details like cutting, soldering, tuning, etc. We have machining videos galore, and in the playlists we have hours long tutorials for CAD.

@@NotFromConcentrate thanks for responding dude! Yeah I’ve watched pretty much all your videos lol, I hugely respect your dedication to the b roll! ❤️❤️❤️ currently finishing my own custom case design as well. Just thought that this video, kind of felt exceptional, in that there wasn’t a clear direction to the glorious b roll footage lol. Hopefully I don’t come across as negative as that was certainly not my intention! Have a wonderful day!
Great looking cases but this video watches like 9:22 of advertisements 👎 trying to skip you talking up your 3D printer only to find I'm at the end of the video and didn't end up seeing how you assembled the components, the layout, the specs, thermal performance, anything.

INSANE.
Thanks again for all you do for the SFF community!
the man himself
I cant wait to see your video updating the tiny pc you built
I think its amazing that Ali commented on this video. :) Two of my favorite SFF YT Creators in on place...
I'd love to see him collab with Josh from NFC (Not From Concentrate). :D
love you both
always fun to see the SFF community iterating on each other's ideas.
it is not MFF?
@@MrBalrogos if this is MFF then what is SFF ? 💀
Josh has reached the beard length where he can no longer help you change the shifter on a bike because he can now simply cast spells and fly.
dude, the video production on this was *chef's kiss*
this was a well edited video - great job!
Much appreciated!
I wish someone would make a case like this without space for a graphics card and with an external power brick. I would love to build my own mini-ITX router but all the cases are too big.
Now we need to get Ali to build in one of your cases
When the gold standard creators in the space collaborate, everybody wins. I love this sort of thing. MOAR
love this, super cool to see TH-cams are literally building custom mini PCs, rivaling the size of actual OEM offerings from the big boys.
"And it's tiny. But technically speaking it's not. Because THIS is." *literal NUC*
*Every sffnet member gasps sensually*
Most powerful NUC cpu: i7-1360P. Most powerful S4T CPU: 7950X. I'll race for pink slips any day! :D
Loving the laser cut / 3d print combo. Optimum Tech collab when?
Would love to work with the king
You should send this case to optimum, I’m sure he’ll love it if it came from you.
he already have review
Excellent video, brother. I’m impressed and your work is inspiring. Love being a part of NFC.
Did you just CUT INTO A RAM STICK at 3:23 and then showed us the RAMtest that it still works!? All in the name of Small Form Factor? AMAZING
Pretty sure he used the stick as a reference to cut a different piece
@@athmaid Nope, he definitely used the notched dimm, you can clearly see the upper corner of the gpu crossing over where that part of the ram stick should be. I mean, if there's no pcb traces running through there, that's free extra space for the build! Worth!!! This guy's for sure a nutcase though lol.
Yup, for small form factor science. It works beautifully so time to try it on more expensive ram.
Can’t wait to see what new stuff awaits with an S4T run!
I'm ecstatic that you are going to have another run for the S4T, I can't wait and hopefully get my hands on one when released!!!!
Ive watched this video countless times since its dropped and its really making me want to do this build. Ive currently got a dan a4 and Ive been drooling over the velka 3 forever but i didn't think it was small enough to justify also switching my power supply and graphics card but this changes things for sure.
You are the GOAT, I still have my Tiny, been waiting for the right time to build in it.
Superb shots! Love how it all came together in the end!
Why not print in PETG? PLA has a glass temp of 60C, at and after which it begins to soften and deform.
You definitely should, or nylon.
The shot of the beer bottle in front of the case was chef’s kiss
geez I knew you sff guys were crazy, but this is insane. I'm amazed.
5:52 I see you're a man of culture....great yogurt culture. I eat Noosa everyday. Strawberry is my favorite. Most delicious yogurt I've ever had.
Strawberry is S tier. And the best part of Noosa is color coded screw buckets!
I thought I'd never be so jealous over a pc case. Well done and fantastic job!
Man this is so cool, but even more exciting is the frickin S4T run 😩
This is super cool. I'd love something like this but my performance requirements are far greater than something like this would allow (Threadripper 7060X + 256GB of RAM + RTX 4090. I do VFX and video editing in addition to gaming, but I'd love to just be able to toss my PC into my backpack and go to a friend's place)
I'm fine with the Lenovo P3 Ultra with a RTX 4000 SFF ADA and 65w 13900 i9 128GB DDR5 ECC.
Are you re-releasing the transform kits with the S4T?
You make me want to throw my Node 202 out and make/print/buy something even smaller before my classes start up again next month.
hello i know it may not be your favourite but can u make mac mini m2/m3 with smaller case? with your design?
Bro, there is no way this only has 23k views
IT NEEDS MILLIONS
what is the next step in making it smaller? crazy idea, maybe integrating all components in the case like those chinese designers did with the GPU shroud.
Do you think water cooling usually helps or hurts compacting a SFF PC build?
100% depends. Usually it hurts and gives worse results...but sometimes you have to go so small that heatsink won't fit in their usual place, and that is the true power of liquid cooling.
@@NotFromConcentrate I would absolutely love to see custom heatpipe cooling for tiny builds like this
Only thing stopping me from building one of these is my budget.
i need to get my 3d printer working to do things like this
This fires me up to build something in S4 Tiny, too bad I live in Europe.
Where can I learn to do things like this? Where do I begin?
Dude, Can you PLEASE bring back the s4t expansion packs. Or maybe drop the designs?
man this is so clean.
still interested in an S4Mini. Any chance that it ever gets rereleased with shipping to Europe?
Yes, but going to launch the S4T first.

Depends on what I'm doing. The majority of my prints are with some form of Nylon.
@NotFromConcentrate Meant for a case, it's a bad choice. Have personally experienced warping in SFF cases.
The slightly tinier PC costs 4-5x what the other one costs. Not sure that's really a reasonable comparison.
