<p>Your Avalon Q is dumping hot exhaust straight into your room, raising ambient inlet temps and quietly throttling performance before you ever check the dashboard. The Canaan Avalon Q exhaust shroud from CryptoCloaks is the direct fix: a precision-engineered PETG duct adapter that connects your miner&#8217;s rear exhaust to standard flex duct in under five minutes, with zero tools required.</p>

<h3 id="what-is">What Is the Canaan Avalon Q Exhaust Shroud</h3>
<p>The Canaan Avalon Q exhaust shroud is an in-house engineered duct adapter built specifically for the rear exhaust port of Canaan&#8217;s Avalon Q bitcoin miner. CryptoCloaks designed this part from scratch. It is the original shroud for this miner, not a copy of a competitor&#8217;s part or a scaled-up generic adapter. The shroud channels hot exhaust airflow directly into a 6-inch or 8-inch flex duct run, so you can push that heat outside, into a garage, or into a dedicated exhaust system.</p>
<p>Without a proper exhaust adapter, the Avalon Q pushes a high volume of hot air into the surrounding space. That heat recirculates as inlet air, raises operating temperatures, and forces the miner to work harder over time. The Canaan Avalon Q exhaust shroud creates a sealed, low-resistance exhaust path that keeps inlet temps stable and your miner running in its optimal thermal window.</p>
<p>Material selection is not an afterthought here. PLA softens at relatively low temperatures and can warp or deform when exposed to sustained hot exhaust from a running ASIC. PETG maintains structural integrity in exactly this kind of thermal environment. CryptoCloaks prints every Canaan Avalon Q exhaust shroud in PETG, not whatever thermoplastic is cheapest or easiest to run on a print farm.</p>
<h3 id="why-cc">Why CryptoCloaks</h3>
<p>CryptoCloaks has been engineering bitcoin mining accessories since 2017. Ricky, the founder, personally designs, prints, and ships every order from his shop. When the Avalon Q reached the market, CryptoCloaks was the first to develop a dedicated exhaust shroud for it. That original design now carries 16 verified five-star reviews, with zero reported fitment issues or heat-related failures across all of them.</p>
<p>The Canaan Avalon Q exhaust shroud mounts directly onto two existing rear screws on the Avalon Q chassis. No drilling. No adhesive. No modification to your hardware, period. If you need to service the miner or move it to a new location, the shroud comes off in seconds. This reversible, tool-free approach is deliberate: home miners need parts that adapt to their setup, not parts that permanently alter expensive equipment.</p>
<p>CryptoCloaks also offers a full catalog of <a href="https://www.cryptocloaks.com/product-category/home-mining-accessories/">home mining accessories for ASIC miners</a>, so you can build out your entire home mining setup with parts sourced from one proven, bitcoin-native maker. Every product in the line ships from the same hands that engineered it.</p>
<h3 id="specs">Specs and Compatibility</h3>

<h3 id="compare">How It Compares</h3>
<p>The Canaan Avalon Q exhaust shroud is the originator in this product category. Some copies have appeared since CryptoCloaks released the design, and a DIY print file exists on Reddit. Here is a direct comparison of what each option actually delivers:</p>

<p>The DIY Reddit file option requires you to own a printer, source PETG correctly, dial in print settings for a functional fit, and do your own quality control. The competing commercial copy ships an unverified design with no public review history and no named maker behind it. The CryptoCloaks version ships tested, proven, and backed by 16 customers who have already run it on their hardware.</p>
<h3 id="faq">Frequently Asked Questions</h3>
<h4>Does this shroud fit both 6-inch and 8-inch flex duct?</h4>
<p>Yes. The Canaan Avalon Q exhaust shroud is offered in two distinct versions: one with a 6-inch outlet collar and one with an 8-inch outlet collar. You select your preferred duct size at checkout before adding to cart. Both versions share the same rear mounting interface and the same installation process, so the only practical difference between them is the collar diameter. Standard 6-inch and 8-inch flexible aluminum or insulated duct from any hardware store connects directly to the outlet without adapters. If you are unsure which size fits your setup, the 6-inch version suits most typical residential installs. The 8-inch version is the better choice for longer duct runs or where minimizing static pressure matters, since the larger diameter moves the same volume of air with less resistance.</p>
<h4>How does the Canaan Avalon Q exhaust shroud attach, and does it require any drilling or tools?</h4>
<p>The Canaan Avalon Q exhaust shroud slips directly onto two existing rear screws on the Avalon Q chassis. No drilling, no adhesive, and no tools are required at any step of the installation. The mounting points are the factory screws already present on the back of the miner, so the install does not modify your hardware in any way. The full process takes under five minutes from opening the package to having your flex duct connected and secured. Removal is equally fast. Because the shroud leaves no permanent mark on the miner, it is safe to use on units still under warranty or units you plan to resell. This tool-free, reversible mounting approach reflects how CryptoCloaks designs every product in its mining accessories line.</p>
<h4>Is PETG safe to use near the heat output of the Avalon Q?</h4>
<p>PETG is specifically well suited to this application. The material has a glass transition temperature well above what the Avalon Q&#8217;s exhaust air reaches under normal operating conditions. PLA, by contrast, has a significantly lower glass transition temperature and can soften, deform, or warp when exposed to sustained hot exhaust airflow from a running ASIC. This is not a hypothetical risk: PLA parts have failed in similar applications, causing ducts to detach or seal poorly over time. CryptoCloaks uses PETG across its ASIC accessory line precisely because it holds its shape in thermal environments where PLA cannot. Every Canaan Avalon Q exhaust shroud that leaves CryptoCloaks is printed in PETG, not substituted with a cheaper filament to reduce production cost.</p>
<p>Pick your size, pick your color, and put your Avalon Q&#8217;s exhaust where it belongs: outside your room. The Canaan Avalon Q exhaust shroud is in stock, engineered by the team that built the original design, and ships direct from Ricky&#8217;s shop. Bitcoin accepted. Made in America. Ships in 2-3 business days.</p>

<h2 id="why-avalon-q">Why the Avalon Q Wins</h2>
<h3>1. Three Power Modes = Three Use Cases</h3>
<p>Most miners force you into a binary choice: industrial power or nothing. The Avalon Q gives you flexibility:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Eco Mode (54 TH/s, 800W):</strong> Plug into any standard outlet. Perfect for testing or locations where you can&#8217;t run dedicated circuits.</li>
<li><strong>Standard Mode (72 TH/s, 1,300W):</strong> Single 15A circuit. Most home miners&#8217; sweet spot.</li>
<li><strong>Maximum Mode (90 TH/s, 1,674W):</strong> Needs a 20A dedicated circuit. For operators ready to scale.</li>
</ul>
<p>You start in Eco, scale to Standard as your electricity situation allows, then max out if you add a circuit. No hardware change needed.</p>
<h3>2. Efficiency That Matters</h3>
<p>At 18.6 J/TH, the Avalon Q burns less power per unit of hashrate than nearly every competing miner. This matters when bitcoin is in a bear market and electricity costs kill margins. Lower power consumption = longer runway in a bear cycle.</p>
<h3>3. No Tariff Overhead</h3>
<p>We ship from Colorado with no tariff pass-through. Most online retailers add 25-35% to cover import duties. At $1,499.99, we&#8217;re $100-200+ cheaper than major resellers.</p>
<h3>4. Solo Mining Ready</h3>
<p>The Avalon Q is engineered for operators who want to mine solo blocks and earn the full 6.25 BTC reward, not share with pools. It has native support for Stratum V2, the new mining protocol that gives solo miners real advantages against pools.</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>

</table>
<p><strong>Pro Tip:</strong> If your breaker box isn&#8217;t equipped for a 20A circuit, the Standard 72 TH/s mode gives you 80% of maximum hashrate with a standard 15A setup. Most home miners operate here.</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<h2 id="performance">Real-World Performance &amp; Profitability</h2>
<h3>Hashrate vs. Electricity Cost</h3>
<p>Your profit depends on two things: your hashrate and your electricity rate.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>At $0.10/kWh (US average):</strong> Standard mode (72 TH/s, 1,300W) = ~$40-50/month profit in current market</li>
<li><strong>At $0.07/kWh (cheap region):</strong> Standard mode = ~$80-120/month profit</li>
<li><strong>At $0.15/kWh (California, expensive):</strong> Standard mode = -$10 to +$10/month (break-even or slight loss)</li>
</ul>
<p>The Avalon Q&#8217;s 18.6 J/TH efficiency means you&#8217;re burning fewer kWh per TH than competitors. Over 12 months, this adds up to $500-1000+ in electricity savings.</p>
<h3>Solo Mining vs. Pool Mining</h3>
<p>At 72 TH/s in Standard mode, you&#8217;ll find a solo block roughly every 45-60 days (depending on network hashrate). When you do, you get 6.25 BTC (~$280,000 at current prices) minus pool fees ($0). Compare that to pool mining: same hashrate, $40/month profit, but no block rewards.</p>
<p><strong>Bottom line:</strong> Pool mining is steady income. Solo mining is lottery-style, but the payout is massive. The Avalon Q is built for miners willing to play both games.</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<h2 id="faq">Frequently Asked Questions</h2>
<h3>Q: Will it work in my apartment/home?</h3>
<p><strong>A:</strong> Probably. Eco mode (800W) plugs into any outlet. Standard mode needs a dedicated 15A circuit (like for a space heater). Maximum mode needs 20A. Check your breaker panel. If you&#8217;re unsure, start in Eco and upgrade circuits if needed.</p>
<h3>Q: How loud is it really?</h3>
<p><strong>A:</strong> Eco mode is 45 dB (whisper-quiet, like a refrigerator). Standard mode is ~55 dB (like normal conversation). Maximum mode is ~65 dB (noticeable, like an office AC unit). Basements and dedicated rooms are ideal. Bedrooms, not so much.</p>
<h3>Q: What&#8217;s my breakeven point?</h3>
<p><strong>A:</strong> At $0.12/kWh electricity, Standard mode breaks even in roughly 18-24 months if bitcoin price holds steady. At $0.07/kWh, you&#8217;re profitable in 12-14 months. Below $0.06/kWh, you&#8217;re cash-flow positive in under a year. Use a mining profitability calculator (link below) for your specific situation.</p>
<h3>Q: Can I solo mine with this?</h3>
<p><strong>A:</strong> Yes. The Avalon Q supports Stratum V2 and can point at any solo mining pool (or your own node). You won&#8217;t win blocks every day, but when you do, you earn the full 6.25 BTC reward. Most miners run it solo, knowing the variance, but you can switch to a pool if you want steadier income.</p>
<h3>Q: Does it work with existing mining software?</h3>
<p><strong>A:</strong> Yes. Avalon Q uses standard SHA-256 mining. You can point it at any Stratum-compatible pool or solo mining endpoint. It comes with the Avalon Family app for simple setup, but power users can run cgminer or custom mining software.</p>
<h3>Q: How is it shipped from Colorado?</h3>
<p><strong>A:</strong> We ship via FedEx/UPS with insurance. Most orders arrive next business day in the continental US. International orders ship DHL or UPS. Fully packed, protected, and tracked.</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>

<li>Newer generation (current Canaan tech, not 5-year-old used hardware)</li>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>The NerdQaxe++ Stand Built for Solo Bitcoin Miners</h2>
<p>You already own the miner. What you should not have to do is buy a whole new bundle just to get a decent stand for it. The NerdQaxe++ stand from CryptoCloaks is the only purpose-built mount for your NerdAxe Q++ that you can order on its own, in the color you actually want, with a rear fan slot built right in.</p>

</ul>
<h3 id="what-is">What Is the NerdQaxe++ Stand</h3>
<p>The NerdQaxe++ stand is a custom 3D-printed accessory designed specifically for the NerdAxe Q++ open-source bitcoin miner. CryptoCloaks engineers this mount to hold your hardware securely, maintain clean airflow around the board, and simplify cable routing. It arrives ready to use, no assembly required beyond setting your miner in place.</p>
<p>This is not a flat metal bracket stamped in a factory and tossed into a box. CryptoCloaks prints every stand in-house, in America, using quality filament available in over 25 colors. Solid blacks, metallic finishes, and dual-color gradient fades like Blue/Purple and Black/Red give you real options. Your stand should match your setup, not whatever the manufacturer had lying around.</p>
<p>The NerdQaxe++ stand also solves a problem no competitor has addressed: active rear cooling. The built-in 80mm fan slot at the back of the stand lets you add a standard fan for a genuine dual-cooling upgrade. For miners running in tight spaces or warm environments, that slot is worth more than any color choice.</p>
<h3 id="why-cc">Why CryptoCloaks Makes the Best NerdQaxe++ Stand</h3>
<p>CryptoCloaks has been building bitcoin hardware accessories since 2017. Ricky, the founder, personally picks, prints, and ships every order from his shop in America. When you order a NerdQaxe++ stand, a real person handles it from print bed to shipping label. That matters in a space full of drop-shipped generic parts.</p>
<p>The 80mm rear fan slot separates this stand from everything else on the market. Competitor stands are metal brackets with no consideration for active cooling. The NerdQaxe++ stand accepts standard 80mm fans and adapters right out of the box. That means you upgrade your cooling without buying new hardware or 3D printing adapters yourself.</p>
<p>Color customization is the other clear advantage. With 25+ options including gradient fades and metallic finishes, you get a stand that looks intentional rather than incidental. A custom top label is available for an additional $10.00 if you want your setup branded or personalized. Browse the full range of <a href="https://www.cryptocloaks.com/product-category/bitaxe-accessories/">Bitaxe accessories for solo miners</a> to complete your build.</p>
<h3 id="specs">Specs and Compatibility</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>SKU:</strong> CC-BA-NERDQSTAN</li>
<li><strong>Price:</strong> $14.99</li>
<li><strong>Weight:</strong> 8 oz</li>
<li><strong>Dimensions:</strong> 7 x 5 x 4 inches</li>
<li><strong>Rear fan slot:</strong> 80mm (compatible with standard fans and adapters)</li>
<li><strong>Color options:</strong> 25+ including solid, metallic, and dual-color gradient fades</li>
<li><strong>Custom top label:</strong> Available, +$10.00</li>
<li><strong>Miner included:</strong> No. Stand only.</li>
<li><strong>Brand:</strong> CryptoCloaks</li>
<li><strong>Made in:</strong> America</li>
</ul>
<p>The NerdQaxe++ stand ships as a standalone product. If you already run a NerdAxe Q++ and want a proper mount without sourcing a new miner bundle, this is the direct path. For full hardware context on the device this stand supports, see the <a href="https://github.com/BitMaker-hub/NerdAxe" target="_blank" rel="dofollow noopener">NerdAxe open-source hardware project</a> on GitHub.</p>
<p>No bundles. No upsells. Just the stand at a straightforward price.</p>
<h3 id="compare">How It Compares</h3>
<p>Every major competitor bundles their stand with the miner purchase. That model works for first-time buyers but leaves existing miners with no standalone replacement option and zero say in finish or features. The NerdQaxe++ stand breaks that pattern completely.</p>

<p>Solo Satoshi, Altair Technology, and Power Mining all include a stand with their miner purchase. However, none sell it separately. None offer color options. None include a fan slot. The NerdQaxe++ stand covers all three gaps at $14.99, a price point most miners spend on a single shipping label.</p>
<h3 id="faq">Frequently Asked Questions</h3>
<h4>Does the NerdAxe Q++ miner come included with this stand?</h4>
<p>No. The NerdQaxe++ stand is sold as a standalone accessory only. The miner itself is not included in this listing. CryptoCloaks designed this product specifically for miners who already own a NerdAxe Q++ unit and want a proper mount without repurchasing the miner or finding a bundle they do not need. If you are building a fresh setup, source the NerdAxe Q++ miner through the appropriate channels first. Once you have the hardware, the NerdQaxe++ stand drops right in and provides a stable, color-matched base that generic metal bundle stands cannot replicate. At $14.99, it is one of the most cost-effective hardware upgrades available for this specific miner.</p>
<h4>Can I mount an 80mm fan to the back of the NerdQaxe++ stand for extra cooling?</h4>
<p>Yes. The NerdQaxe++ stand includes a rear-facing 80mm fan slot built directly into the design. It accepts standard 80mm fans and common adapters out of the box. You do not need to modify anything or source specialty hardware to make it work. Active rear cooling is one of the most requested features for solo mining setups, particularly in warmer rooms or tightly packed rack configurations. Adding an 80mm fan to the back of your NerdQaxe++ stand creates a dual-cooling path that pushes fresh air across the board more aggressively than passive convection alone. This is a genuine hardware advantage over every bundled metal stand currently available, none of which include a fan slot of any size.</p>
<h4>What colors are available for the NerdQaxe++ stand case and base?</h4>
<p>CryptoCloaks offers 25+ color options for the NerdQaxe++ stand, covering solid colors, metallic finishes, and dual-color gradient fades. Popular gradient options include Blue/Purple and Black/Red, though the full palette is selectable at checkout. No competitor offers any color customization on their stand because every competing option is a stamped metal accessory shipped as part of a bundle. CryptoCloaks 3D prints every NerdQaxe++ stand in-house, which means color selection is a real, functional option rather than a marketing claim. A custom top label is also available for an additional $10.00 if you want to personalize the surface with your own text or logo. Live color availability displays in the product configurator during checkout.</p>
<p>Order your NerdQaxe++ stand today and get a purpose-built mount that fits your miner, your cooling setup, and your aesthetic. Bitcoin accepted. Made in America. Ships in 2-3 business days.</p>

<h2 id="overview">Why Your Coldcard Q Needs a Case</h2>
<p>The <a href="https://coldcard.com/q" target="_blank" rel="dofollow noopener">Coldcard Q</a> is one of the most capable<br />
Bitcoin signing devices ever built. A full QWERTY keyboard, a 3.2-inch LCD display, dual MicroSD slots,<br />
a built-in QR scanner, battery power via 3x AAA cells, and dual secure elements make it a serious tool for serious<br />
Bitcoiners. It is also a $249 piece of hardware that lives in pockets, backpacks, and drawers.</p>
<p>Scratches happen. Drops happen. A quality <strong>coldcard q case</strong> from CryptoCloaks costs less than<br />
a dinner out and keeps your signing device looking and working like new. Beyond physical protection, a custom-color<br />
<strong>coldcard q case</strong> lets you personalize your setup, distinguish your device at a glance, and signal that you take<br />
self-custody seriously.</p>
<p>CryptoCloaks has been making Coldcard accessories since the beginning. When Coinkite released the Coldcard Q,<br />
CryptoCloaks had a <strong>coldcard q case</strong> ready on day one. Every case is printed in-house in Colorado on Bambu printers,<br />
inspected before it ships, and priced to be a no-brainer add-on to any Coldcard Q purchase.</p>
<p>Bitcoin Magazine named the Coldcard Q the top hardware wallet for 2026. Protect it accordingly.</p>

<h2 id="colors">All 25+ Color Options</h2>
<p>Every <strong>coldcard q case</strong> is printed to order in Colorado on Bambu printers. Choose from over 25 solid and fade color options.<br />
Whether you want stealth black, vibrant orange, or a custom fade, there is a <strong>coldcard q case</strong> color for your setup.</p>
<p>Solid colors deliver a clean, matte finish that gives your device a consistent look without distracting from<br />
the hardware. Fade colors blend two tones across the <strong>coldcard q case</strong> body for a distinctive look.<br />
Carbon Fiber delivers a textured, technical finish. Not sure which to pick? Black and Galaxy Black are the most<br />
popular choices for a minimal, professional look. Orange is a favorite for Bitcoiners who want to represent<br />
the network visually.</p>
<p>Want a fully custom design instead of a solid color? Check out the<br />
<a href="https://www.cryptocloaks.com/product/coldcard-q-custom-designed-sleeves/" rel="noopener">Coldcard Q Custom Designed Sleeves</a><br />
for artwork, logos, or personal designs printed directly on the case.</p>
<h2 id="security">Security Note: Fits Over the Stock Clear Case</h2>
<div class="security-box"><strong>Your security model is preserved.</strong> The CryptoCloaks coldcard q case fits <em>over</em> the<br />
stock Coinkite clear case, it does not replace it. Coinkite designed the transparent enclosure as part of the<br />
Coldcard Q security model, allowing users to visually inspect the device for signs of physical tampering.<br />
Removing the clear case would compromise that inspection capability. CryptoCloaks cases are engineered to<br />
sit on top, so you keep the tamper-evident visibility of the clear case while adding scratch and impact<br />
protection on the outside.</div>
<p>This is an important distinction. If you are evaluating <strong>coldcard q protection</strong> options, any<br />
coldcard q case that requires removing the stock enclosure is trading security for aesthetics. The CryptoCloaks design<br />
does not ask you to make that trade. Stack both layers, keep both protections.</p>
<p>For Bitcoiners who take physical security seriously, pairing your new case with a proper seed backup solution<br />
is worth considering. The<br />
<a href="https://www.cryptocloaks.com/product/seedor-safe-starter-set/" rel="noopener">Seedor Safe Starter Set</a><br />
from CryptoCloaks lets you store your seed phrase in a durable, physical format alongside your protected device.</p>
<h2 id="comparison">Solid Color Case vs Custom Sleeve vs Laser Etched: Which Is Right for You?</h2>

<p>If you want a solid <strong>coldcard q case</strong> and <strong>bitcoin hardware wallet case</strong> protection at the best price point,<br />
the Solid Color Case is the answer. If you want something one-of-a-kind, the Custom Sleeve or Laser Etched<br />

<h2 id="faq">Frequently Asked Questions</h2>
<div class="faq-item">
<h3>Does the CryptoCloaks coldcard q case fit the Coldcard Mk4?</h3>
<p>No. The Coldcard Q case is designed specifically for the Coldcard Q hardware wallet. The Mk4 has a<br />
different form factor, different button layout, and different dimensions. If you have a Mk4, browse the<br />
<a href="https://www.cryptocloaks.com/product-category/casesandnodes/" rel="noopener">Cases and Nodes category</a><br />
for the correct case for your device.</p>
</div>
<div class="faq-item">
<h3>Does the case block the QR scanner?</h3>
<p>No. The case is precisely designed with a clear window and cutout that leaves the Coldcard Q&#8217;s built-in<br />
QR scanner fully accessible. You can scan QR codes for air-gapped transaction signing without removing<br />
the case.</p>
</div>
<div class="faq-item">
<h3>Does the case block the MicroSD slots?</h3>
<p>No. Both dual MicroSD slots on the Coldcard Q remain fully accessible with the case installed.<br />
You can insert and remove cards normally for firmware updates, PSBT transfers, and backups.</p>
</div>
<div class="faq-item">
<h3>Is this an official Coinkite product?</h3>
<p>No. This is an independently designed and manufactured aftermarket accessory made by CryptoCloaks.<br />
It is not produced or endorsed by Coinkite. CryptoCloaks has been designing Coldcard accessories<br />
since the original Coldcard launched, and had cases ready on day one when the Coldcard Q was released.</p>
</div>
<div class="faq-item">
<h3>Will installing this case void my Coldcard Q warranty?</h3>
<p>The CryptoCloaks case fits over the stock Coinkite clear case and does not require any modification to the<br />
device itself. No screws, no adhesives, no permanent changes. Removing the case leaves your Coldcard Q<br />
exactly as it was.</p>
</div>
<div class="faq-item">
<h3>Can I pay with Bitcoin?</h3>
<p>Yes. CryptoCloaks accepts Bitcoin as well as standard fiat payment methods at checkout. Pay how you prefer.</p>
</div>
<div class="faq-item">
<h3>Where is the case made and how fast does it ship?</h3>
<p>Every <strong>3d printed coldcard case</strong> is made in Colorado, USA on Bambu printers by CryptoCloaks.<br />
Orders are inspected and typically ship within 1 to 2 business days. Domestic US shipping options are<br />
available at checkout.</p>
</div>
<div class="faq-item">
<h3>Does the case affect the Coldcard Q&#8217;s battery compartment access?</h3>
<p>The Coldcard Q is powered by 3x AAA batteries. The CryptoCloaks case is designed to allow battery access<br />
so you are not forced to remove the case every time you need to swap batteries during extended use sessions.</p>
</div>
<div class="faq-item">
<h3>What material is the case made from?</h3>
<p>Cases are printed using premium PLA filament on Bambu FDM printers. This delivers a durable, lightweight<br />
shell with a clean matte finish in whichever color you choose. The material is rigid enough to protect<br />
against drops and scratches while keeping the overall package light and pocket-friendly.</p>
</div>
<div class="faq-item">
<h3>What if I want a completely custom design instead of a solid color?</h3>
<p>CryptoCloaks offers two upgrade options. The<br />
<a href="https://www.cryptocloaks.com/product/coldcard-q-custom-designed-sleeves/" rel="noopener">Custom Designed Sleeve</a><br />
lets you put artwork, logos, or personal designs on your case. The<br />
<a href="https://www.cryptocloaks.com/product/laser-etched-coldcard-wallet-cases-and-sleeves/" rel="noopener">Laser Etched case</a><br />
uses precision engraving for a permanent, premium finish. Both are made in the same Colorado shop on the<br />
same Bambu printers.</p>

<h3 id="what-is">What Is the ColdCard Q Custom Sleeve</h3>
<p>The ColdCard Q custom sleeve is a precision-engineered, 3D-printed protective cover built specifically for the ColdCard Q Bitcoin hardware wallet. CryptoCloaks designs and prints each sleeve to order using high-quality PLA filament, right here in America, with zero tolerance for sloppy fits or rough edges.</p>
<p>This is not a repurposed phone case or a generic hard shell pulled from a mass-production run. Every dimension is purpose-built for the ColdCard Q, so the sleeve sits flush, holds securely, and does not interfere with button access, ports, or the battery compartment. The fit is consistent across every color option in the catalog.</p>
<p>The available design is Zeus, a bold and distinctive pattern that gives your signing device a real identity. Whether you keep your ColdCard Q tucked away in a Faraday bag or display it on your desk alongside your node, the sleeve makes a clear statement about how seriously you take Bitcoin security.</p>
<h3 id="why-cc">Why CryptoCloaks</h3>
<p>CryptoCloaks has been building Bitcoin-native gear since 2017. Ricky founded the shop, personally selects every filament spool, prints every order, and ships it directly from America. There is no dropshipping here, no overseas warehouse, and no middleman. You are buying directly from a bitcoiner who has been in the space longer than most altcoins have existed.</p>
<p>Here is what separates every ColdCard Q custom sleeve from everything else on the market: 21% of each sale goes directly to Bitcoin open-source development. That makes buying a sleeve a direct contribution to the developers who build and maintain the protocol that makes self-custody possible. It is not a marketing claim. It is baked into how CryptoCloaks operates as a business.</p>
<p>CryptoCloaks builds a full range of Bitcoin-native products, each designed with the same attention to detail and the same mission. If you want to complete your Bitcoin desk setup, pair your sleeve with the <a href="https://www.cryptocloaks.com/product/bitcoin-white-paper-laser-etched-slate-coasters/">Bitcoin White Paper laser etched slate coasters</a>, a clean and meaningful addition to any stacker&#8217;s workspace.</p>

<h3 id="faq">Frequently Asked Questions</h3>
<h4>Does the CryptoCloaks sleeve fit the ColdCard Q with batteries installed?</h4>
<p>The ColdCard Q custom sleeve is designed to fit around the body of the ColdCard Q device using the standard published dimensions. The ColdCard Q operates on AAA batteries, and the sleeve wraps the device externally without replacing or blocking the battery compartment door. When the battery door is closed normally, the sleeve fits over the device as intended. CryptoCloaks designs to the official hardware spec, so the tolerances account for the standard form factor. However, hardware revisions can occasionally alter device dimensions slightly, so if you have a very recent ColdCard Q unit, cross-referencing the official spec page before ordering is worth doing. Ricky prints every sleeve to consistent spec, so fit reliability across color options is not a variable. The sleeve protects the device body and does not add meaningful bulk to your carry setup.</p>
<h4>What filament or material is used to 3D print the ColdCard Q sleeve?</h4>
<p>CryptoCloaks uses high-quality PLA filament for every ColdCard Q custom sleeve. PLA is a strong, dimensionally stable material that holds fine detail well, which matters for a protective sleeve that requires precise tolerances to fit snugly around the ColdCard Q without play or gaps. PLA is also one of the most thoroughly tested filament types in the 3D printing community, making it a dependable choice for accessories that need to hold their shape over time. The carbon fiber finish option uses a PLA blend infused with carbon fiber strands, which adds a premium textured appearance and slightly increases rigidity compared to standard PLA, without affecting the fit. Ricky personally selects filament brands and batch quality for every order, so print consistency is maintained across the full color catalog. The result is a sleeve that looks precise, feels solid, and does not interfere with any of the device&#8217;s functional elements.</p>
<h4>Can I choose two different colors for a custom two-tone ColdCard Q sleeve?</h4>
<p>Yes. Every ColdCard Q custom sleeve on CryptoCloaks supports full dual color selection. At checkout, you configure Color 1 and Color 2 independently using the product options on the listing page. This means you can dial in a two-tone combination that matches your aesthetic, from subtle pairings like Dark Blue/Black to high-contrast choices like Gold/Pink or Black/Red. The fade variants take this further by blending the two colors across the print in a gradient rather than applying them as solid blocks, creating a look that no other accessory seller in this category offers. If you prefer a single solid color or the carbon fiber finish, those options live in the same selector with no additional steps. The 24+ color library gives you genuine creative control over how your hardware looks. No other ColdCard Q case on the market comes close to this level of personalization.</p>
<p>Order your ColdCard Q custom sleeve today and give your signing device the protection and identity it deserves. Bitcoin accepted. Made in America. Ships in 2-3 business days.</p>
