Is this your design or somewhere available? Looks good so far. Only the access to nvme (bottom of board/case) could be made easier.
This is my design based on a couple of suggestion comes from other BPI users , not yet shared/posted on any “printables” portal.
I’ll try to figure out how to make the nvme slot accessible keeping the concept of mesh bottom to dissipate heat (I noice that also the bottom part of the boards tend to becomes hot as well)
I also decided to make my own case — I printed a prototype yesterday, but since I plan to use SFP modules that generate a lot of heat, I decided to add two 80×80×25 fans.
Looks really good, when will it go on sale?
can u make some more pictures, from the inside? is this metal?
i still don’t understand why you are not providing holes to attach a fan on the top cover.
Unfortunately, I was refused the sale — apparently, you have different information about the possibility of purchasing this version of the case.
[email protected]: This case is new product, not on sell yet, and this case will use in the assembly kit, once it ready, we will let you know.
This match almost perfect my design and need. Please just make the mounting holes for the 92mm fan on top, and even not that circular cut out but something that allow more ariflow like a sqaure mesh pattern or hexagon style, since we we’ll put dust filter anyway, so more open space are welcome ![]()
Oh, that’s very cool, I just have a 10’ rack and I really need it so I don’t have to print on a 3D printer. Can you tell me the approximate release date?
I’ve also finished work on my case. Maybe someone will find it interesting. It also has access to the M.2 slots.

Good job, I’ve also almost completed my version for the 10’ rack. As soon as I test it, I will make it publicly available. I also wrote about the white briefcase, they said it was out of stock and they would write
Could you please tell me which type of nuts are used to fix the two connected lids that you 3D-printed?
I got some updates on my layout with the official case.
I placed an Artic slim fan blowing on top - that one conveniently comes with a splitted connector so I could connect the side blower as well.
I also have assembled the big official sink for the BE14, the one without the fan. Is it… satisfyingly big.
I guess the version with the fan is aimed at the upcoming BE14 v1.1 - I’m hoping that the new BE14 will have a fan header in the top side (I guess the pins are already there, they can be seen in the picture above, but not soldered to a header) so the board can control the fan indipendently from the main.
When you close it down, wifi and LTE, it looks like this:
(yes, I admit I moved the LTE antennas in the middle just for aesthetic purposes…
)
ATM I would call myself satisfied even if the whole thing is on the “big” side.
I’ve seen many interesting 3d models in this thread that I would have wanted to use but none accounts for 10 antennas… ![]()
I made simple Wi-Fi antenna hole plugs for the original case. For anyone who wants to close unused antenna holes when external antennas are not used.
The plugs are easy to print (no supports) and use a press-fit installation. STL files are attached below.

May I ask what model of nuts are being used? M.223.2 or another?
