MiSTer FPGA Case (DE10-Nano variant)

MiSTer FPGA Case – Custom Remix (DE10-Nano + Analog IO + USB HUB)

This is a remix of an existing MiSTer FPGA case, adapted for a specific MiSTer stack configuration and a slightly different mounting approach.

The original design has been modified and extended to properly support the following hardware stack:

• Terasic DE10-Nano
• Analog IO Board
• USB HUB Board (powered from a USB port, not a 5.5mm jack)
• External USB HUB bridge adapter

The goal of this remix was to ensure proper fit, airflow, and a clean, seamless exterior for this exact setup, while keeping the original design philosophy intact.

What’s Included / Changed

• Adjusted internal geometry tailored to the listed MiSTer FPGA stack (it doesn't support Mister Pi variant)
• Covers the SOG switch and secondary microSD slot
  • These features are rarely used in day-to-day operation
  • Covering them results in a cleaner, more sleek exterior
• Optional printed standoffs
  • Intended for users without metal standoffs under the USB HUB
  • Fully optional - metal standoffs work just fine if you have them
• Two top cover variants:
  • Top cover for 40×40×10 mm fan
  • Top cover for 40×40×20 mm fan
• Designed for simple assembly and good airflow without over-complicating the case

Fan Compatibility

• The 40x40x10 mm top cover is standard and used most of the time.
• The 40×40×20 mm top cover was printed and tested with a
  Sunon 40×40×20 MagLev fan (HA40201V4-000U-999)
• Fit is perfect, with proper clearance and airflow

Buttons (Important)

The button model must be printed 3 times.

You have two options:

• Print “as-is” buttons
  Use: MiSTer-Case-Buttons.stl
• Buttons with rubber bumpers
  • Designed to accept tiny rubber bumpers (~1 mm thick) on the bottom
  • Helps reduce noise and gives a softer press feel
    Use: MiSTer-Case-Buttons_for_bumpers_CC.stl

Please choose one of the two button files and print it three times.

Hardware Requirements

To mount the MiSTer FPGA stack to the bottom part:

• 4× M3×12 mm screws

To assemble all printed case parts:

• 10× M3×10 mm or M3×12 mm screws
  (Both lengths work; use what you have available)

No threaded inserts are required beyond standard M3 hardware.

Printing Notes

• Standard FDM printer compatible
• Supports not required
• Designed for easy printing and clean assembly
• Fan openings are sized specifically for 40 mm square fans
• I printed it using PET-G
