The BOX M2

thebox m2

so this will be the progress i have made so far on theBOX , lets call it M2 

so i ended up redesigning the entire enclosure of the deck made a few changes as the M1 enclosure was a bit on the smaller side to house the raspberry pi touch display 2

the new enclosure is slightly longer and wider to accommodate the touch display 2 everything  was modeled on tinkercad as it is one of the most beginner friendly cad software out there and its free

What's new , you may ask?

• well now the enclosure can accommodate almost everything i wanna put inside the deck

• and the addition of some new parts , now theBOX has the a capability to use nvme m.2 drives due to the addition of a new nvme hat from waveshare electronics (Nvme hat)

• well i didn't bother to go with an full size 2280 hat since the only difference between a 2280 and a 2242 or a 2230 is just a place to screw the ssd down 
• Instead of using a mounting screwfor the m.2 ssd i ended up using a lil bit of double sided tape (it seems to be working great) but had to mount the nvme hat slightly side ways since the touch display 2 stand offs for the pi was interfering with the nvme ssd
