The objective of this mod was to create a build which comes the closest form factor / design philosophy. This from top-to-down. As the with of the trashcan, is not suitable for a triangle shaped body, I therefor chose to use 2 panels which mount the Mainboard, GFX and PSU, these also have vertical airflow "chambers" / tubes which avoid any heat buildup. Additional kapton foil has been used on these plates. Moreover low-profile case fans have been used in the bottom- and top-bazel. Please check attached pictures and feel free to question the build.

Remarks on the build & printing, the whole project took a while to design and correctly print. The main support frames took over 70 hours to print. Seen the gradient which are visible, and during print the support got stuck on the print. Hence I have split the design and print into more parts and printed the visible parts in order to have the support on the non-visible side.

These are the specs:

- Authentics Lunar Trashcan 6 Liter

- Gigabyte Z370N WIFI Intel Z370 LGA 1151 (Socket H4) Mini ITX moederbord SKU GA-Z370N WIFI

- Intel Core ® ™ i3-8100 Processor (6M Cache, 3.60 GHz) 3.60GHz 6MB Smart Cache processor SKU CM8068403377308 (bough upon high times of intel shortages so took the minimal)

- Gigabyte GV-RX560OC-4GD Radeon RX 560 4GB GDDR5 SKU GV-RX560OC-4GD

- Corsair Memory 16GB DDR4 2133MHz SKU CMV16GX4M1A2133C15

- Thermaltake TT Gaming Riser Cable PCI-E 3.0 / Black /200mm SKU AC-053-CN1OTN-C1

- Cryorig XT140 SKU CR-XTA

- Zalman CNPS2X SKU CNPS2X

- Seasonic SSP-300SUG SKU SSP-300SUG

- DW1560 > thinking to switch to original Apple wifi card which fit within the build (BRCM943602CS does not with adapter board) or DW1830 (needs cover shield to be modified on MB)

- ttp223 > Capitative power button underneath the top-fan cover

* Perhaps I can switch back to original Intel 8265NGW with https://github.com/zxystd/IntelBluetoothFirmware & https://github.com/zxystd/AppleIntelWifiAdapter

** To wire the back-plain I used diverse extender cables, and 3.1 USB pin header to USB-C. Initially I didn't want traditional USB port, yet USB-C does not always recognise the USB2.0 storage devices. It could be the USB-C cables itself, yet therefor I added USB port output. Which I await the extender cable for. Also added 1.5mm output seen BT is not always stable with multiple devices connected,

Please let me know your thoughts.

Hi,

My build doesn't support the gaming laptop, johny's does though. Please take a look at https://github.com/johnnync13/XiaomiGaming

Is there a perfect clover

This depends on CPU you have got.

Hi guys. The build is updated to Mojave and now comes with base clock speed of 600mhz under low loads (~6 hours of battery life). Also support for i5 7y54 has been added. Also added @CMMChris mention regarding the internet installer. Please check the repo on Github or let me know in case you run into an issue.

Hi @etrock you want to use some isolation on those cables you soldered onto the board. Otherwise you could short circuit the board.

Did you use the m2 module from Taobao? https://item.taobao.com/item.h…e5-496b-8eac-41be004559df

Zitat von etrock

finally, i used here add the usb hub.....remove inductance and lead wire.

Many thanks for your input!

Option 1, you couldnt use both the webcam and the wifi module?

Could you provide a picture of your results on option 3 ?

Edit by derHackfan: Vollzitat entfernt

Its only listed at Taobao. You can buy it from the seller on the TaoBao site as he ships directly to Wordwide buyers.

Thanks for the hint. I'll add it to the instructions.

I have one extra, could possibly send it to you. Yet the seller on taobao has WeChat and ships rapid fast. Please see my cabling attached.

I'm quoting my github repo. No VMware or Torrents are mentioned?!

Hi John, thanks for your input. I can confirm the m.2 ngff to m.2 adapters are not working on the Mi air 12.5. I have tested a couple myself. This option DOES work with the Mi Pro line.

For the air line the only working solution is an m.2 to Apple slot adapter with stock Apple BMC wifi card available. This is the following card: https://item.taobao.com/item.h…e5-496b-8eac-41be004559df

I'm using this card right now for a couple of months. The only issue is that you need different extension cables as the one designed for the Macbook Pro will not fit within the chasis of the Mi Air. The extension cable you will need to found here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/2pcs-…35245?hash=item2f1c54148d

For the Mi Air you will need to contact the seller custom length cables. With the Mi Air 12.5 40 cmwas more then sufficient.

@jn13 Off topic. How about merging your project into mine and develop wider support?

Updated the hotpatch release for HS 10.13.6 and multi-touch support: Edit by NoirOSX -> Link entfernt

The update contains pre-Mojave changes, so an upgrade would work. Will release the mojave release asap when I find more time. Feel free to apply pull request! (-:

Mi Gaming Laptop is not covered in my build yet. Sorry. You should first create your installation USB with appropriate EFI. In your case you could try out the Mi Notebook Pro build as it is close to your HW config. It still needs changes though!

Did anyone get the chance to try Mojave on this laptop. I am still on 10.13.6.Oh just for your knowledge: VoodooI2C.kext has been updated to 2.1.1

Im still on 10.13.3. Had no time to update my mac yet but as far as I know my hotpatch build should be working with all 10.3.x series. Mojave is still a question it is still in beta so I would not touch my hand on if you want a stable machine.

Hi guys, a fast update. Currently a lot is going on in my private life (in a good way), therefor I haven't found much time to update my github and you on this forum.

Regarding this matter. The past two months I have been running MacOS with internal wifi. I'll update you asap on this matter when I find more time to post more in-dept info on the solution.

General update:

The M.2 Key M to M.2 Key A-E seems also to work with DL1530 on Mi NoteBook Pro (as noted by Kingfoot on the NoteBook Pro topic at TM). As I tested this converter with DL1830, it did not work on NoteBook Air in the PCIE slot. I have the same DL1530 which Kingfoot uses waiting at my other home (live in 3 countries). So I'll need to recheck this matter at the end of this week. None-the-less, the M.2 Key M to native Apple module from Wdxxfu is a better option. As it should be supported without any adjuestments and together with an connecting using the webcam port, it should offer Wifi and BT out to the box. The M.2 Key M to M.2 Key A+E will never have BT.

Maybe it is like USB so data - is white and data + is green
have you a link to this adapter?

Could be, yet we need to first verify the USB lanes of course unless you like to brick your logic board or webcam? (-;

Zitat von nabster

@influenist Just for understanding.. with this one couldn't use NVMe SSDs anymore?

Yes, this will replace NVME. Yet SATA port SSD is faster as confirmed, so I would propose to upgrade your SATA SSD to 512MB or 1TB and have internal wifi + bt out of the box.

Off topic, I recently thrown away my nano USB during one of my flights. On the earlier builds I wanted to see is sleep would function without it. Hence I placed it in the sandwich box and lost it as the cabin crew got it as garbage. Since I use temporarily my Android using RNDIS / USB tether (which works better IMHO).

Hi @nickl

At this point we need to figure out which color is D+ and which color is D-. After the module should work by connecting to this interface. Wdxxfu has already the connector in stock, so only the color / pin for D+ and D- are important.

D+ and D- needed to determined by a multimeter.
