You can now 3D print your own NAS bay — the N5 Mini supports five drives and even has customizable faceplates

N5 Mini.

Admirers of the Minisforum N5 NAS setup don't have to go broke to get a taste of this hardware's sleek charm. Maker and developer Jack Harvest has created a 3D printable and budget-friendly mini version called the N5 Mini. In the spirit of the maker community, Harvest opted to make the project open source so anyone can create their own at home for free.

One of the coolest aspects of this N5 Mini design is its flexibility. There's a great deal of compatibility in its design, so you can put it together using pretty much any mini PC you like, while the outside maintains the signature smooth, rounded shape of the Minisforum N5.
