hello for all, this is my first proper post into overclock forums,
as the title says i am been modeling itx case with sketchup and i am now printing
first prototype parts
case name shall be "fiver" as it has volume of ~4,7 liters
this will take some time as i need to save money from my salary and buy parts slowly
case is assembled via corner brackets and m5 hex screws
so far i have these plans/thoughts
psu; hdplex 160w dc-atx (ordered)
mobo: from my old computer (asrock itx mobo)
cpu; still thinking options 45w maybe dont know if i can use my i5 4460 after some max tdp adjusting
gpu; going to try my gtx 970 with power max setted into 80%
cooling: air, maybe gpu to water or even all water cooled
i am currently trying ideas at sketchup with slim 120 mm radiator and waiting for when noctuas 120*15 mm fans are ready for buying, so need those, for reasons
i also altered i/o shield and 92 mm fan sides little wider +1 mm and i am printing them to get little more rigidity.
I've been debating doing this for awhile now, just need some inspration and time to design it. I've got access to a 16" x 14" print bed at work so I wouldn't even need to split it up that much.

thats damn huge print volume there, i have much less space, i am using prenta b1.25 machine and i am using its build plate capacity with just some centimeters to spare, luckily i wanted small and still kinda big case (about 5 litres ?) so i am designing parts to fit my build plate, you could make even matx case, would be awesome
btw i am planning to post case files to thingiverse if i get this thingy to work
Yah the only thing that sucks is how expensive the material is for this printer, proprietary canisters that cost 7-8 times as much as normal rolled filament.

damn, would be really expensive with sla printing, hopefully i can give you some inspiration or help how to do something, if you start making 3d printed case someday
Would you take a picture of the other side? I want to compare it to mine, I have the first unit of the first production lot
I have a case designed for it to be able to mount it away from the motherboard with a 24-pin extension, if you want the .stl files, let me know, it's what I used for Verticality

omg yes please, i maybe need to use extension, but i will see only when i get my power brick and my mobo installed with hdplex, it will be like just millimeters of space to spare (i can also try if not else slimmer 92mm fans too)
and yes, of course i shall take pictures from other side, i need just to recharge my cameras battery :3
today i started first test with hardware i already have aka my old rig with out gtx 970 as gpu, and also tested how hdplex 160w dc-atx fits (like a glove)
progress slowly but steadily
with hdplex:
testing with silverstone sfx450:
