I built a compact Raspberry Pi cluster that fits in the palm of my hand.
This custom mini cluster houses four Raspberry Pis, a network switch, a touchscreen monitoring display and custom CNC-machined acrylic and aluminium parts. Using the new Makera Z1 desktop CNC machine, I designed, machined and assembled the entire enclosure from scratch.
