SLICK DESIGN

Mick Slikker - industrial product engineer

About me

I am a real “do-it-yourself” hobbyist, 3D-designer and maker of my own products and projects. My interests include 3D-printing, server-hosting and maintenance, and designing generally fun electrical projects.

I'm good at thinking about different solutions for my projects and I'm constantly looking into making my ideas a reality. I do this by sketching and doing a lot of research online.

Some of my skills include:

  • Logo  Solidworks
    Parts design and assembly management
  • Logo  Sketchup
    Architectural modeling and parts design

  • Logo  Fritzing
    PCB design and electrical components
  • Logo  Linux
    System building and admin maintenance

 HP Sleeper PC

Short introduction

Sleeper PCs are custom-built and designed to look like old and vintage computers, but packed with powerful and modern hardware inside. This creates a fun and unsuspected contrast between appearance and capability.

For this project I was tasked by my brother with creating a Sleeper PC for him. As sarcificial shell, we have used the body and components of a Hewlett Packard Protocol Analyzer (4957A).

The following extra requirements had been set for this project:

While my brother started work on reverse engineering the keyboard, I focussed my self on all other major parts of the assembly.

 Luggable PC



Short introduction

I've always liked the portability of laptops, but I mostly use my desktop purely for the performance difference. The idea of a "luggable" Computer is not new. They were quite populair in the 70s and 80s and still see some use today but have mostly fallen out of public favor.

In 2024 I was looking at upgrading my PC and stumbled upon the Lattepanda Sigma, the most powerful single board computer (at the time) with server grade components and a tiny footprint. I decided to buy this board with the idea to design my own casing for it.

For this project the following is a checklist of features and requirements:

Going into this project, I've always wanted to imagine a modern version of the portable PC concept. That is why the design of this project is more modern and futuristically minded.
