The Thing 3D Printed Case

Thanks

I did solve the cable issue with 45 degree angles now the cables will route nicely behind the MB

I also did version 2 for the back panel. What do you think about this design?

Here is couple of shots with the gpu. I dont know yet if i want to paint the silver on the gpu little bit darker to match mb or orange.

yeah that looks good, the change of colour for that panel looks good... i see it's recessed, does it sit flush ?

What printer you using? I've an ultimaker 2+ but I feel it may be a tad too small for a case

AVCaseMods · 6 May 2021 at 07:03

I use minifactory innovator

I want to hide the cables for mb so i did this cover design. This will hold on by magnets.

Gunslinger · 8 May 2021 at 12:05

interesting idea, hiding cables has always been tricky

AVCaseMods · 10 May 2021 at 17:08

I did change the design little bit but here is the first version

Woah that's so cool! What software are you using to create those models?

modd1uk · 15 May 2021 at 20:32

Fusion 360 can do this + its free

Gunslinger · 30 May 2021 at 16:08

this is coming along well, how long till you think it'll be complete, or will you always want to be tweaking something on it?

Holy crap I had no idea this was possible! Well done dude! It's looking good!

Looks fantastic. That's a case to be well proud of.

It'll be good to see the finished project.

What an amazing job you done. Love the GPU colour would suit perfect with my build. Haven't seen to many white/orange combos but I love how it looks on that.

Must say case looks amazing but bad for dust.

Also must say tad disappointed I was expecting a John Carpenter inspired case.

Reminds me of something you would find on a Corellian Corvette.

Lovely build, does give some inspirations for others as well !

Do have one small question. What program are you using to make the build plans with ? Or if anyone else knows, I be interested in know what it is. :cool:

Looking forward to see the final build !

I have big problems with the printer that i am using so this has been delayed. But now i have all of the parts printed so i can do final build. For now i am leaving out that cable cover because i dont like how it looks.
I use MS 3D builder for this model and little bit of Fusion 360.

watercooledman · 21 Jun 2021 at 08:52

Yes that looks absolutely brilliant

pepp77 · 21 Jun 2021 at 09:30

Question, isnt printing like this quite expensive, what would be the cost of printing both the test parts and the final parts?

AVCaseMods · 21 Jun 2021 at 11:34

I use colorfabb economy PETG and it is 49,99€ for 2,2kg of filament. I have used two to make test parts and final parts.
I can make all of the white parts with one spool.
Orange PETG i use 1kg and its 35€

AVCaseMods · 24 Jun 2021 at 10:38

So the big printer is out and it didnt finnish the last part so i have to make this model to fit smaller printer

But i think i can do that so more delay for finishing this build.
