Welcome to Ellie!
Ellie is a small form factor computer with a fully 3D-printed case and integrated 7-inch screen. It can accommodate a full-size ATX power supply, two 2.5" drives (SSDs or HDDs), and even a low-profile graphics card.
For months and months I have been receiving requests from Redditors, YouTubers, and interested strangers to upload this project to Thingiverse. It's a bit late, but here she finally is!
If you would like to know more about my process of creating this project, the above video links to a playlist of my entire series documenting the build (here's a shotcut: http://bit.ly/2ampKme).
On top of that, Ellie was recently featured on the front page of DallasInnovates.com. You can find the article here: http://www.dallasinnovates.com/building-ellie-gives-teachers-students-tech-insight/
Version 1.1
Version 1.1 brings with it a few minor updates to the version in the above photos and video. The updates are a wider gap for the screen caddy's insertion and a small height extension to the basement. I hit several small road bumps creating my personal v1.0 Ellie (as seen by the use of a Dremel in the above video) and these changes should make the build a bit less of a headache for you. The changes are minor but are as yet untested.
For now, there is no included screen caddy. The IT person at my previous workplace accidentally deleted my original caddy design, but on top of that the screen that was originally used in this build has not been available on Amazon in a year. It should be fairly simple and straightforward to model your own caddy to fit your own screen, though.
As with the original version, the models have been cut to ensure they will fit on the build plate of a Makerbot Replicator (any version).
Components used in my personal build:
CPU: Intel Core i5-4690
