So, who would I be in this equation? 😁

Hi! Yeah this has crossed my mind, and I have had quite a few people concerned about this. However, with over 30.000 downloads and thousands of people building my cases I have had not a single report from anyone that this has caused issues. I’m not saying it can’t happen but to my knowledge this seems to be very very uncommon (if it even happens). I personally have never had any issues with this. 😊

Hi! You can contact me via the messaging on Printables for example. There you can also send files in the chat.

I’m planning to release more models with more drive space! 😊

@@makerunit do you have a recommended online print shop for this stuff? I'd love to be able to buy a kit I just screw/snap together. I don't currently own a 3d printer

Yeah that’s very true 😊

Most printed cases CAN be done in PLA, really boils down to the parts you intend on using inside the case and where you intend to use the case. If you’re going to use all the fans and low-power, low-heat components it should be just fine. High power, high heat components, or generally a hot environment(like high ambient temperature or in a window in direct sunlight) I recommend steering away from PLA. Generally my recommendation is almost always PETG, ASA, ABS or similar materials due to their better temperature resistance. I hope this helps you decide. I live in a generally «cool» climate in Norway and I’ve never had any issues with PLA, but this is not the situation for everyone so you need to make your own decision based on your situation.

Thanks! It’s available for only $3 though which is almost «free» considering all the time a design like this takes to create 😊

It’s on my to-do list! 😊👌

Yeah it did cross my mind doing that as well, but I decided not to at that point as I wanted to prefer the GPU cooling. I wouldn’t call it useless though as it pulls in fresh air and pushes it up to the GPU rather than the GPU circulating hot air from the inside of the case, though I see your point 😊

Thank you so much! 😊 Appreciate it!

Definitelt would have looked cleaner 😁 lazy me!

Haha thank you! When I made it I didn’t really think much of it tbh, I just thought, oh hey, this works! 😁

@@makerunit I mean, it definitely makes that building process easier and cleaner. I'm a PC builder and I just got into 3d printing. This sort of stuff is really exciting

@@LelandHasGames definitely! However it’s not the most «travel friendly» mount as some shocks will eventually knock it loose. But again, it’s as easy as removing the front panel and dropping it back into place and it’ll be good to go 😁 for a stationary build though it’s superb

@@makerunit I mean, most desktops are intended to stay in one place or not be moved around often. Still. Simple yet elegant concept. I do plan to print my own PC case at some point. I think there's something special about building an entire computer, (including the case) from the ground up.

@@LelandHasGames that’s very true 😁

👌😂

I plan to do that… eventually 😅

Because you can clean the laierline out

I see where you’re going but I’m not the biggest fan of clear/transparent cases. Or did you mean just for the smooth surface finish?

@@makerunit just for the finish

Awesome! Glad to hear I could be of some inspiration 😊

You’re right! Clas Ohlson! You from any of the Nordic countries?

@@makerunit😀 🇸🇪

@@GizmoTheGreen 🇳🇴 here! 😁

Thank you! I get your concern, however the GPU should be pulling in cool air directly from the bottom so it’s getting cooled decently. However, as you say, extra fans will alwals be better 😊

Hey! The panels are made mesh by using no top and bottom layers in the slicer, use Honeycomb infill at 20-30% depending on your desired output, hope it helps 😊

Awesome! Thank you! Happy to hear you like the build! 😊

That’s a very good question and I’d love to explain my thoughts here: There are a few reasons for needing the brackets, however, the main reason is the fact that not all hard drives have the same thickness. For example most modern 500/1TB HDDs are closer to 20mm thick, while the bigger capacity ones are about 26mm (1’’). I had to use the brackets to ensure all drive thicknesses would fit. So even though the thickness isn’t standard, the screw hole location is, so whatever drive is installed will then be in the correct position. Hope this answered your question 😁 However, I must admit that they are probably a bit overkill for the use, and could have been made much slimmer.

Thank you! 😊

I’ll keep it in mind! 👌😊

Thank you! A console build is on my to-do list! What I’m thinking is mATX or maybe even ATX, and a vertical GPU close to the PCIE connectors. I’m guessing the CPU cooler clearance would end up around 80mm as it would allow the use of an ATX psu, and a 3-slot GPU.

Just wondering I’m fairly new to printing actually I just ordered a Bambu A1, was gonna get the mini but opted for larger bed, which brands of Pegt would ya recommend for those prints? 😅

@@soup_bone Fun to hear you’re entering the world of 3D printing! When it comes to filament recommendations I have personally never had issues with any type of filament I’ve bought. The only thing is that some filaments may print better or worse depending on whether you use the correct temp or not. Some PETG prints very well at 220c on my smaller slow printers, while my fast K1 Max needs closer to 260c on the same filament to get good results due to the speeds it needs to melt the plastic faster if that makes sense. Can’t really recommend any specific brands as I’m mainly using just the cheapest stuff I can find and rarely have any issues. Some disagree with this though, what climate you live in may also affect the filament. I for instance live in Norway where it’s generally not very humid, so my filament stays in good condition, but some people experience issues with the filament getting wet etc due to humidity absorbing into the plastic which again can result in issues. I hope this helps you out somewhat even though I couldn’t give any direct recommendations. 😊

That’s good to know! Again it’s great you respond so quick! The interment really wants ya to buy the expensive stuff that’s for sure, well that’s for the pro tip! When my stuff arrives I’m totally gonna print this bad boy! Looking forward to more prints from you in the future!

@@soup_bone Awesome! And, if I’m by my phone when a comment pops in and I have time to respond I don’t see any reason why I should wait. I know for myself too that I’d appreciate a fast response if I was the one asking😊 I always try my best to answer any comment within 24 hours at most (due to time differences, work hours etc), however most comments are actually answered within 12hrs.

Hi! Thank you! Actually the bottom panels can support quite a bit of weight as they’re pretty well supported on the surface below with the feet. I notice even my 3070 has some sag to it as it is now. However this happens in all cases and I don’t believe it’s directly caused by the plastic mount though. I’ll definitely be looking into ways of supporting the GPU for future projects/upgrades 🙂

No idea what that means… the german part was a joke on my part 😁

Hi! This one is designed strictly for educational purposes and have not been tested. It’s also designed in Sketchup which is hard to edit. ❤️

Hi, I plan to also do that at some point 😊

@@makerunit Thank youuu looking forward to it!!

Thank you! You definitely have a few good points there. And having whole panels does indeed pretty much hide the DIY look of it. However even though I do own bigger printers myself (300x300), I’m still mostly aiming to keep the print volume less than 220x220 per panel where possible. However I might do occasional projects that require 300x300mm. 😊

Hi! It’s on my to-do list 😊

@@makerunit Awesome, thank you! Would you be able to combine it with your method for small printers?

Thank you! I’m planning to create more models and variations eventually 😊

Thank you! I’ve got this request from quite a few people, so it’s definitely on my future to-do list 😊

It’s available to download for my Printables members 😊

I’m not sure exactly what you mean, however if you’re asking if it’s possible to change the design to not need a PCIe riser, then no I’m very sorry, this deIgn is no longer going to be updated as I have stopped using the programs used to design this case. If you want a cube design that does not need a PCIe riser check out my other «Cube» case on my channel. 😊

Thank you! 😁

Hi Mike! Thank you so much and awesome to hear you’re taking a step into the 3D printing world. When you say Mini S, do you mean the Little Boy S? If so, then currently it’s not any «easy» way to split the panels and join them without loosing strengt. However, it’s definitely possible with some slight modifications. Which of the panels did you consider re-printing? Also, I’m currently working on another «tiny-printer-friendly» case design which will be posted early to mid-july or something like that as I’m going on a two week vacation starting tomorrow.

@@makerunit looking forward to it.

Thank you! Oh yeah those light stands are the best I own! 😁

ok ok, I'm just answering my own post since I've just came accross the tiny 2,9L case on your channel. I was taliking about a "bigger" case, the Antec Fusion mentionned could house a full ATX build, so at least mini ATX ;-)

Hi! Thank you! And actually I do plan to make such a case at some point 😊 When you say Ikea cabinet, do you mean the BESTÅ series? 😁 I have that one myself mounted to the wall under my TV

@@makerunit yes these ones with the half drawers, you have a small shelf with 1/3 height I guess. Perfect for your TV box or for the old ones, your VHS players 😉

@@MathieuCruzel yeah that sounds like the «BESTÅ» series. They fit 2 shelves (3 openings) pretty nice for flat stuff like DVD players and Digital boxes for the TV.

Thank you! It’s definitely possible to create something similar that’s adapted to a NAS system. 😏 More cool stuff is on the way so stay tuned. My goal is to post one new project per month.

@@makerunit Awesome, I will be looking forward to your next project!

Hi, not without modification. It’s made specifically for the motors mentioned in the video 😊

@@makerunit I don't understand English very well, I'm using a translator, sorry

@@Nieverton69 okay. No, not working with Nema 17 🥲

@@makerunit i gotcha of the first time

@@Nieverton69 Sorry, I misunderstood your comment. My bad 😊

I recommend going for PETG, however, I’m personally using PLA for the grey panels and I’m not experiencing any problems with that. I’m using PETG for the black center chassis.

I see, I’ll keep this in mind for a next version 😊

Awesome, thanks! 😊

Thank you! I’ve actually got some ideas in mind for possible APU cases. And about the media center pc, I’ll definitely keep this request in mind as this is a very relevant project that a lot of people could benefit from. 😊

🥲 I guess I’ve got to make a «Ultra-Tiny printer friendly» case then… btw, what do you have?

@@makerunit Flash Forge Adventurer 3

@@TheNicCraft25-go8he Ah I see. My first ever printer was a FlashForge Finder, with a 140x140x140 print volume. However it lacked a heated bed and an enclosure so I had really bad warping issues on almost every print. 😅 does yours have a heated bed and enclosed chamber?

@@makerunit yeah it has both and prints pretty well the only thing is that it only has space for 0.5 kg (1lb) filament rolls and because of that you have to use a filament spool holder. But overall it is a pretty good starter printer

@@TheNicCraft25-go8he I see, seems much better than my old Finder then. :D You can make an external spool holder though right? To replace the built in 0.5 kg holder? They probably do that to force you to buy their own branded filament
