A personal project of mine, I wanted to design a compact PC that would satisfy three main goals: It needed to be easily 3D printable, It had to fit in my backpack, and It needed to physically accommodate hardware powerful enough for my workload. With this project, I used my technical skills in Solidworks, gathered precise measurements to ensure low tolerances between computer hardware and the printed parts, practiced my skills in electronics to ensure the PC is fully operational, and deployed my knowledge in 3D printing to ensure a finished product that would not look out of place on a professional workspace.
