Description

A traditional Mini-ITX case built using Grid System - a modular set of building blocks I have created to build computer cases of various sizes compatible with small form factor printers.

Awesome system! Will be my goto for a quick custom case solution. I had to build a workstation that needed to be as thin and as cheap as possible. Made with SA Filament CPE Pro. Fit a Gigabyte Intel B760M micro ATX board and an ATX Power supply, after remixing some parts and making an adapter for the PSU. I will share those in the future. Also found a nice solution to open the side panel, though maybe there already was a solution I did not notice. (Apologies for some of the images, makerworld doesn't allow portrait images.) One major change I might make are the rear PCI slot holes, as they make you float your card, or install it with the screws going in from the bottom, which makes removing the card difficult.

Wow! Thanks a lot for sharing this! It makes me especially happy to see that people are able to expand upon the concept with their own ideas! I really love the opening handle! Got a real Porsche GTR vibe to it :D I must admit that I never thought much of how to open this as it happens rearly, I've just used an umbraco to hook it.

Hope you release the atx psu part soon!

@cacf

Can you share the project

Hello, can you confirm the size of the magnets? I created a design for my 3.5 hard drives and my SSD system drive

@user_1522691645

Magnets are 6x3mm. Could you please make the design for the hard drives available

Replying to @user_1522691645 :

yes check here https://makerworld.com/fr/models/1876511-support-hdd-2-5-and-ssd i'm still working for a better place for my card pciE. I use Round Threaded Brass Heat-Insert Nut to fix it on case.

@leruayte

Did you use an ATX power supply in this format

Excited to start using my new Bazzite/Steam machine! It’s a little tight for GPU. so I might have to print another and extend if I want to spice up my graphics card. right now it fits my Nvidia A2000 perfectly with mm to spare. very cool looking and satisfying to know I made my own case.

@waagbo

This is soo cool! Really love the color scheme!

@acn123

This is a great looking model but I have a problem opening it. Tried latest stable Bambu studio and Orca and it seems both programs do not set correctly top and bottom shell layers for inner objects so i get full side panels instead of honeycomb pattern. Same problem with your model from printables. Did I miss some settings or need any other version to slice this project?

(Edited)

The designer has replied

@waagbo

Honeycomb pattern is a slicer setting caused by 0 top and bottom layers on certain component parts. Have you tried to press slice and looked at the result?

@acn123

Replying to @waagbo :

Somehow I got it to work :-) Bambu studio was complaining about 3mf being is from newer version. Works now with 1.10.01.50 (linux version).

@waagbo

Replying to @acn123 :

Ah, I checked it. The motherboard side is not transparent in this version (if you take any other panel it will slice to honeycomb). It is not set globally to 0 as some other parts want the full structure. Do you think it would look nice for the motherboard side to be honeycombed as well? In that case I think I probably should reinforce them a bit a bit as well as the panel is a bit thin to support a proper honeycomb pattern.

@paint

Does it fit an ATX PSU?

The designer has replied

@waagbo

Not in the 1.5 length configuration. If you expand to a length of 2 full "units" it is possible to fit an ATX PSU in front it is for sure possible to fit an ATX PSU. This will also make it possible to use full length graphics cards.

@user_2954903312

Excellent, a PC tower with a 3D printer, will you use the infill pattern? Thank you

The designer has replied

@waagbo

The slicer infill pattern is used to create the hexagon tiles. This can be customized to other patterns for interesting designs or removed to get an airtight case if you want to better direct the airflow in the case.

@nbailleul

Hello, could you give me the dimensions once assembled

The designer has replied

@waagbo

The compact version I built is roughly 185mm (W) x 275mm (H) x 275mm (D), but larger configurations are of course possible.

@ajsaini

can someone confirm the max GPU length mine is 295mm or almost 30cm

The designer has replied

@waagbo

If you want the "full-size" GPU just prolong the case a bit by using two full width squares. I have a Asus Dual 7600 in mine and that is a decent fit. If you want the tripple fan GPUs one you need to extend it.
