now ofc i wont divulge too many details since im working on plans(although im not a computer engineer or anything so i can only do basic concept models lol) but im just interested if theirs anything like this.

Basically a compromise between a gaming laptop/luggable and the power of a desktop PC. Like a slightly bulky PC but sleek/compact enough to fit into a back pack. that retains the power and customization desktop PCs have

sorry...cant man i dont wanna give anything away XD its just in basic planning out, as i said im no computer engineer...the main idea is for it to be a mobile battle station...not like a laptop nor the bulkyness of a desktop. the plan is to allow the motherboard inside to be like a somewhat hybrid of a typical laptop and desktop...where it can actually use a processor made for a desktop giving it major power, as well as allowing it to be pretty customizable....and as for cooling i had water cooling on my mind. since a big fan would be impractical in something thats portable.

If I wanted to steal your idea, which really is basically a small desktop, I would already be able to steal it. And really it's not even stealing it, as at some point pretty much everyone has come up with the same concept before being like fuck it.

It hasn't been invented because it's not an invention. It's a slightly smaller form of a desktop computer, which they already have, only with more limitations that make it less ideal than just getting a computer running a micro-ATX or mini-ITX form factor or something. Your focus should be on designing a case that integrates a screen designed around a small form factor with a rechargeable power supply (which, for the record, I've made designs for).

lol if i wanted to make a case id make a case :p this is just supposed to be a mobile battle station that uses some parts from a tower(things like the processor/RAM sticks ect...) That is close to the size of a laptop, but doesnt have a battery....something you can shove into a suit case with your keyboard/mouse and play games at decent FPS on the road....im working on it lol i have a lot of learning and research to do

So you intend on designing a motherboard capable of competing with corporations like Asus and EVGA for the purpose of making a computer that is similar to a laptop in size while being capable of running the power of a desktop and is capable of parts being upgraded using standard hardware used in desktops?

Come on now, you don't gotta go and spit on the boy's dream, there.

Don't squander his hope, whether it's ill-founded or not.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
