Description
Bitaxe Hex Case
Six chips. 3+ terahashes. Your Bitaxe Hex deserves a case that matches its firepower. The Bitaxe Hex Case is a purpose-built PETG enclosure designed, 3D printed, and assembled by D-Central in Canada — specifically for the Bitaxe Hex’s unique 6-chip form factor. It protects your board from dust, shorts, and wire clutter while feeding it clean air through an 80mm fan mount. Hex-level hashing in a case built by the team that pioneered Bitaxe accessories.

Features
- PETG construction — not PLA. PETG handles higher temperatures without deforming, which matters when you’re enclosing six ASIC chips producing real heat. Better layer adhesion, better impact resistance, better long-term durability
- 80mm fan mount — larger fan means more airflow at lower RPM, which means less noise per CFM. The Hex pushes real wattage and needs real cooling — an 80mm fan delivers it
- Dust and short protection — six exposed ASIC chips, six heatsinks, and a dense PCB layout create plenty of opportunity for conductive debris or accidental contact to cause problems. The case eliminates that risk
- Wire management — the Hex’s 12V barrel jack and cable routing stays contained inside the case, keeping your setup clean and reducing strain on connectors
- M3 hex screw assembly — 8 included M3 hex screws provide secure, tool-friendly assembly. No clips to break, no friction fits to loosen over time
- Hex-specific design — this case is built exclusively for the Bitaxe Hex board dimensions and component layout. Every standoff, cutout, and port opening is precisely placed

Why PETG Over PLA?
The Bitaxe Hex runs six BM1366 ASIC chips — that’s significantly more heat output than a single-chip Bitaxe. PLA starts softening around 60°C, which is well within the range of radiated heat near a multi-chip mining board under load. PETG handles temperatures up to 80°C+ without deforming, has better impact resistance, and provides superior layer adhesion that holds up over thousands of hours of continuous operation. For a case that sits inches from six working ASIC chips 24/7, PETG is the correct material choice.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the 80mm fan included?
No — the case includes the fan mount but not the fan itself. This lets you choose the exact 80mm fan that matches your noise and airflow preferences. For quiet operation, look for fans under 25 dBA. For maximum cooling on an overclocked Hex, prioritize high-CFM fans. Any standard 80mm case fan will fit.
What power supply does the Bitaxe Hex use?
The Bitaxe Hex uses a 12V DC barrel jack — different from the single-chip Bitaxe models which use 5V. Make sure you have the correct 12V power supply rated for the Hex’s power draw. The case provides full access to the barrel jack connector.
Can I use this case for a single-chip Bitaxe?
No. The Hex Case is specifically designed for the Bitaxe Hex board dimensions and mounting points. Single-chip Bitaxe boards (Gamma, Supra, Ultra) have a completely different form factor. For those boards, check out the Mesh Standing Case, Minimalist Stand, Modern Stand, or Mini Miner DIY Kit.
How do I install the Bitaxe Hex in the case?
Place the Hex board on the bottom half of the case, aligning with the standoffs and port cutouts. Attach the top half and secure with the 8 included M3 hex screws. Mount your 80mm fan to the fan mount position. Connect power. Total assembly time is under 10 minutes with a hex key.
Does the case help with noise?
The enclosed design does contain some fan noise compared to an open board, but the primary noise reduction comes from the 80mm fan mount itself. Larger fans move the same volume of air at lower RPM — and lower RPM means less noise. An 80mm fan at 1200 RPM will be quieter than a 40mm fan at 5000 RPM while moving similar airflow. The case enables this upgrade.
Built by the Bitaxe Pioneers
D-Central has been building Bitaxe accessories since before anyone else — we created the original Bitaxe Mesh Stand, the first purpose-built Bitaxe enclosure ever manufactured. The Hex Case carries that pioneering legacy to the Bitaxe Hex platform. Designed in-house, 3D printed in PETG at our Canadian facility, and assembled by the same team that’s been supporting the open-source mining community since day one. Every hash counts.
