We started collecting people interested in becoming AXIOM Beta Compact (CP) enclosure early adopters on May 1st. If you are interested please contact us: https://www.apertus.org/contact

The idea is that we optimally gather a group of 10+ people to benefit from the manufacturing prices getting lower with raising quantities.

Once we have a headcount we will be able to deliver an accurate estimate for the cost.

1 Scope

To keep the cost low in general we plan to produce non-structural parts like connector plate covers as 3D print parts, the structural elements from milled aluminium: Cp enclosure proposal 3d print parts 01.png

Note that existing AXIOM Beta hardware can be integrated into the CP enclosure if a THT sensor board is used. The ZIF sensor board does not fit as it has a bigger form factor with the larger socket and the lever. Also the THT sensor board has an opening underneath the image sensor and we attach a heat sink from the back, this is not possible with the ZIF sensor board.

2 Early adopter goals

  • collect general feedback about ergonomics, handling, look & feel
  • testing of internal fan, air circulation, temperature monitoring, fan control in software
  • starting efforts to design print labels on the enclosure (logo, instructions, connectors, etc.)
