I bought this off the makers website before it was uploaded here, overall it's a great idea however I discovered there are a few parts which don't go together very well because of design issues, such as one component where the shape of the parts doesn't allow them to fit together without removing a feature. I also found that even though it is an ATX as described my motherboard doesn't appear to fit the bosses hole centres. There are no instructions or build guides, no apparent dust protection and no obvious way to attach many of the components other than the fans and mother board.
I've finished making it from PETG and ABS, but at the moment I'm honestly unsure if I'll be able to use it or if I'm going to have to bin it and start something else

Hey,
I'm sorry to hear this. I'm the person who made this. I put some instructions on myminifactory for the build. It is a bit specific to my own PC as I only had that to design around. I have a full ATX case and a large GPU which all fit well but if yours mobo is even 1mm larger for any reason - it might not fit. I used threaded inserts to mount it to the case during assembly as I had no idea how to get the measurements for each hole correctly.
The back plates are also custom to the layout of my system and will need tweaking. I didn't want to omit them so I just supplied them as an example of a design.
Hope this helps, happy to help you with the build - I figured all atx boards should be standard.

I'm interested in printing this but have a couple of questions:
- Is this just a bare case? I would want to fit 3x 3.5" HDDs - would I need to fit a third-party bracket in here? I don't have a GPU.
- What did you do with this to manage dust buildup? Fit mesh inserts around it?
- Do you have any print instructions? I would probably do this with PETG.

PETG is definitely the way to go. I haven't had time to compile print instructions but yes I bought some magnetic meshes to cover my fans. There are spots on the fan plates for the magnets to stick into.
You would have to figure out your own way for the 3rd hdd - you could 3D print a caddy to hang off of the Front IO module, or the PSU. This design only caters for 2x3.5" drives

Hi, awesome design!
I was looking at it but cannot grasp how many HHD i would be able to fit in this design, I was thinking of using it to make a NAS
