The Thing 3D Printed Case

Tiggymala · 29 Mar 2021 at 14:27

Fair play I got a lot of time for that, something I had the idea to try if I ever had a 3d printer, very impressed so far!

That’s very impressive.

I must admit though, my first reaction on seeing the thread title was “How do you know what shape it’s going to be when you wake up in the morning?”

Thanks,
i have been quarantine for three weeks now but now its almost over. Next week i can go back to work and start printing the final case.
This design took me about month to do.

But now i have huge announcement
Gigabyte / Aorus is now sponsoring this build.

oh wow, congratulations, that's gonna look really good, and be bang upto date hardware wise too, and with those watercooling parts as mentioned before, you must be well chuffed.

Thanks, with this hardware this casemod will be awesome.

Here is pictures of the MB Z590I Aorus Ultra

Its a heatsink

Gunslinger · 10 Apr 2021 at 13:20

ah i did wonder if it was a full heatsink, but as no fins i wasn't sure, figured it could also be protection for that rear mounted m.2 drive

Looking good !

Here is the Gpu of this build Gigabyte RTX 3060 Vision

Now all of the white parts are printed with PETG and i love the pure white color of the filament.

I ordered orange PETG and TPU (for the legs)

Raiser cable cover fits nicely

I think four of these will hold the two parts together

I added magnet for the side grill for easy access

Other side there is now power button hole and pass through for the pump power cable.

That looks amazing as is. Maybe some cleaniler tubing as the soft stuff you used does look used (I know you did mention that for the components).

I much prefer the look of soft tubing when I can be made as tidy as you know doubt could.

I am going to use hardline for this build. For test i used soft tubing.

I did test assembly of the case.

Last but no least Teamgroup joined to support this build with memory and m.2 ssd :blush: Now i have all of the parts to start finishing this.

Im sure your grateful for the sponsers but pcie3 m2 (really) instead of a pcie4 for such a modern stylish build.

This is my first collab with Teamgroup so i understand they dont want to give me latest and greatest but i am thankful to them for sponsoring these parts.

I tested the new parts on the case and noticed one design flaw. First time i had older mb and it didnt have backplate so there was room for cables. But this new one has backplate and there is no room.
So i have to do some re design and print new ones

And i did power button cover

Angelwolf · 30 Apr 2021 at 11:49

This looks amazing. Great job!!

Gunslinger · 30 Apr 2021 at 22:01

looking really good, can't wait to see all those goodies installed, that GPU is looking like an absolutely stunning match.

I appreciate this build, what a classy looking system. Orange and white is so underrated!
