Bitaxe Mini Miner DIY Kit
Turn your Bitaxe into something that looks like it belongs on a mining farm rack — except it fits on your desk. The Mini Miner DIY Kit is a universal enclosure inspired by industrial ASIC miners like the Antminer and Avalon series. Same aggressive intake-exhaust airflow design, same purposeful aesthetic, scaled down to single-chip Bitaxe size. Better cooling. Lower noise. Professional-grade stability. All wrapped in a case you assemble yourself.
This kit includes everything except the Bitaxe board itself — the enclosure, fan duct, mounting hardware, and assembly guide. Drop in any Bitaxe model, wire up, and you’ve got a miniature mining rig that runs cooler and quieter than a bare board on a stand. The Mining Hacker way: institutional tech, hacked for your desk.

Features
- Industrial ASIC miner aesthetics — your Bitaxe gets the same aggressive, purposeful look as full-size mining rigs. Intake on one end, exhaust on the other, chip in the middle. Scaled down, not dumbed down
- Directed airflow path — unlike open stands, the Mini Miner channels air through a ducted path over the ASIC chip and heatsink. Directed airflow means more effective heat removal and less turbulence
- Noise reduction — the enclosed design with ducted airflow reduces noise compared to an exposed board with a fan screaming into open air. The enclosure acts as a partial sound barrier
- Universal Bitaxe fit — designed to accommodate all single-board Bitaxe models including Gamma, Supra, and Ultra. One kit, any Bitaxe
- DIY assembly — this is a kit, not a pre-built. You assemble it. That’s the point. Hands-on, hacker-style, your build. The included guide walks you through every step
- Physical protection — full enclosure protects your board from dust, accidental contact, wire clutter, and the general chaos of a miner’s workbench
- Enhanced thermal stability — consistent airflow path means consistent temperatures. Less thermal cycling extends chip life and keeps hashrate steady

Frequently Asked Questions
What tools do I need for assembly?
Basic hand tools — a small Phillips screwdriver is the main requirement. The assembly guide covers every step. If you’ve ever assembled a PC, installed a heatsink, or built anything from a kit, you’ll have this done in minutes. This is a hacker’s kit — getting your hands on it is part of the experience.
Is the Bitaxe board included?
No. This is the enclosure kit only. You supply your own Bitaxe board (Gamma, Supra, or Ultra), heatsink, and 5V power supply. The kit gives your existing Bitaxe a professional enclosure — think of it as the chassis for a miner you already own.
How does the cooling compare to an open stand?
The directed airflow path in the Mini Miner enclosure moves air more efficiently than an open stand where the fan blows into uncontrolled space. By channeling airflow through a duct across the heatsink, more of the fan’s energy goes toward actual heat removal instead of dissipating sideways. The tradeoff is that the enclosure restricts ambient air from reaching the board from all sides — but the net thermal performance is better under load because the airflow is purposeful, not random.
Will this reduce noise?
Yes, noticeably. The enclosed design contains fan noise better than a bare board on a stand. The ducted airflow also means the fan can run at lower RPM for the same cooling effect, which further reduces noise. It won’t make your Bitaxe silent — there’s still a 40mm fan in there — but the difference between an exposed screaming fan and an enclosed, ducted one is meaningful, especially on a desk.
Can I still see the OLED display?
The enclosure is designed with access to the OLED display so you can monitor hashrate, temperature, and mining stats. Check the product photos for the exact viewing window placement on your specific kit variant.
Hacked by D-Central
The Mini Miner DIY Kit embodies exactly what D-Central is about: taking industrial mining technology and hacking it down to the home miner’s scale. We looked at Antminers and Avalons — the intake-exhaust airflow, the purposeful enclosure design, the industrial aesthetics — and engineered it for a single Bitaxe chip. 3D printed in Canada, designed by miners, built for miners. This is what « Bitcoin Mining Hackers » means. Every hash counts.
