I 100% agree seems crazy gonna do this build after my rog ally pro video i have a rog atx board but don't want to buy a huge case . . This video must of took months !
This is the best 3d printed case I've seen! It really sucks how expensive the SFF market can be especially itx motherboards but almost no SFF case manufacturer wants to cater to matx or atx boards even though it's possible
Thanks for the kind words! It really means a lot to me. :) And I do agree, it would be really cool to see super compact ATX cases that have the durability and strength of metal cases!
I've been dreaming of piecing together an ATX-sized HTPC case and this only confirms that it's possible. I'm hoping to keep the overall width of the case under 70mm by compromising and using an SFX power supply and by letting it sprawl out. If the size constraints work out, I might be able to include an ODD and some drive bays! Thanks for the vid.
Best looking 3D printed case I've seen. I need something with space for my second graphics card though, and for some hard drives... Would be nice to see a bigger version of this.
That was stunning build especially when comparison time came, yet the intro could've been shorter. And the PSU ventilator is oriented inside of the chassis instead of tp the side where the ventilation holes are. I salute your perseverance with the custom modding the cable lengnt.
Thanks! The OG plan for the PSU was to orient the fan facing out; you can see the mounting holes allow for it too! But since the RAM modules isolated the VRM area from any airflow from the AIO, I decided to let the PSU contribute some airflow to the area instead. Not ideal, but from hours of gaming and too many cycles of Cinebench, it’s been working out. Dust though… yeah… I should link the dust buster I use for all my PCs. Being in the garage also doesn’t help any of my PCs!

For those vacant screw holes, I'd probably just go with something reasonable like a headset mount or some sort of hardware monitoring display. The case doesn't really need anything else. Looks great. Creating mesh by removing the top and bottom walls is a great idea.
Incredible craftmanship - I would create stands and put a plate on with enough room to breathe. The plate could be in a different color or have any graphic on it.
@@standupg4m3r I'm actually wanting to replace my aging (2013) QNAP server which is no longer supported. I have the same QIDI printer you do, so I think it is doable after watching this video on this great case. I'm thinking a six 3.5 inch drive stack on the right and the mobo (mini-ITX) with PS and on the left. Anyway, this was some great inspiration. Thanks.
Instead of clear PETG vent panels, I reckon translucent white lithopane filament with gyroid infill would look amazing. It'd obscure the internal components/cabling but should catch and spread the lights for a diffused RGB effect.
Thanks for checking out my build! Always feeling blessed when the successful channels check out and appreciate my projects! PS - I hope I don't sound like a broken record, but for anyone else reading this - please check out this commenters channel ASAP!

I game in my garage where I do wood working, car mods+maintenance, and other dust producing hobbies. If I am not on top of it, it will be on top of me!
Thanks for watching! I will probably post a build of my personal build so that others can learn from it. Unfortunately it is now out of stock, but maybe with enough demand Sliger can bring it back.

This is the best 3D printed case I have seen on RUclips so far, so well thought out. You just earned a like and sub! Can't wait to see what you have planned.
I'm glad I found this video. I'm building a custom layout mech keyboard and realize that I will need a 3D printer for the keyboad case & it's keycaps. My thoughts were to make a wooden case but building a matching computer case to my keyboard sounds much better
Actually I was thinking of taking ideas from this and other 3D printed cases to build a internal frame similar to those test stands and then add some nice thin sheets of wood to the outside. It would be placed on it's side like the old desktop cases were. I have this nice powerful fan whose motor has died to sit facing the ceiling. Then use washable furnace filters on all the air intake vents. The fan is so powerful but quiet that when the case is sealed up there will be a partial vacuum inside drawing the rooms air through the filters. Once I have a working prototype, I might look at a water cooling system that all the incoming air goes through. I plan to seal all the corners with aluminum tape which will Back for a nice contrast to black stained wood.
With a 3D printed case, the whole motherboard could be enclosed and short pigtail cables could be used to route the rear connectors to the outside of the case. USB based accessories can the be mounted inside the case where it 'should' be cooler then room temperature.
@@standupg4m3rI will try to remember. My first priority is the keyboard. It will have eight(8) rows & thirty-two(32) columns. The alpha section will be in a five(5) row × five(5) column plus the 'Z' I'm NOT a touch typist so this layout should be perfect for a person who types via the peek & Poke method. I have all the MX Blue keys and boards needed to have the keyboard running Python. I am actually thinking of using a Rpi Zero 2 W for the brains instead of RP2040 based boards. I hope to get all this done before I die as I'm 64 and my warranty ran out in 2020.
If you're a fan of RGB or external display screens you could use the existing screw holes to affix a bracket that will adapt light strips or mini displays (kinda like the wigidash). Though you're better off spending money on something actually useful in terms of the build or your channel- like a picture frame of your favorite feet.
Personally, I'd use the external screw holes on the exterior of the case as a spot to mount a reservoir for a custom water cooling loop. Or maybe even for a case mounted display of some sort.
Interesting design and the video itself as well. I think that it would be better if the motherboard backside didn't show the threaded inserts from the outside. With that said, there are a lot of parts that are really neatly designed and feel solid, and the mesh panels feel really nice. And the fact that a lot of these look really professionally made from afar, while when you zoom in on them, you can clearly see those are printed - it's an interesting thing to tackle because people got used to fully professionally surface finished things, while you don't really need all of them to be like that. One more thing that I would like to see in your videos - print times - either overall or for specific parts like how much faster is it to print the mesh panel vs a solid one/the amount of filament difference.
Thanks, as always! I had larger ambitions for the exposed inserts - but shelved it for another video. I also didn't want to hide the fact that the test-bench piece is the heart of this case and didn't want to hide its roots; I may revisit this build with a dedicated structure, because I do agree that it could look waaaay better without. I'll post some print times in the next video - the estimates from the slicer have been accurate so far, and I figured ppl have access to the print files and can see what their printers will do themselves - and I am now officially spoiled with the speed the Qidi Tech X-Max 3 prints at... I am a bit reluctant to share my print times because it is staggering compared to my Artillery Sidewinder X1... like 3-4x... and I would hate to say something like, "It only took me 3 hrs" and then a user sees an estimate of 12 hrs lol
Try switching to Direct Drive to get rid of the bowden tube entirely. Also wait and let your parts cool down to under 30C degree, don't force grab them out of the hot plate, you may damage the product and the plate itself.
Thanks for watching! Both my printers are direct drive... the tube is just to guide the filament. And good advice on the cooling of parts, which I do for some larger prints; this build in particular handed it well since most of the parts were not so substantial - but the front panel I let cool while I slept in.
Hey, I've been watching a lot of your videos lately and have really been enjoying your creativity and approach to design. Just curious what program you use to model your projects? I'm about to make the jump into learning 3d modeling to hopefully design my own enclosures.
@@TechByMattB thanks! I personally use Solidworks, but I would recommend checking out OnShape (ex-Solidworks employees) since it has free options. I believe Fusion 360 has free options too, but I’ve never checked it out. Cheers and good luck!
@@standupg4m3r Well I use Blender on a daily basis , It's just I cant afford a printer, That's why I wish people made replacement lids and sold them on line .I picked up a 8 bay DVD replicator, I am using the case to make a JBOD
If you make this horizontal and make a 140mm wide cut out in the motherboard side panel and then have stand offs on the vacant screw holes, allowing for external cooling. (I have a 420mm AIO and I just cannot find a half decent case to fit it in that isn't a literal reinforced tank. i.e. horizontal to allow the mounts or I would absolutely love the current for factor you have here, just extended and widened a bit to accommodate a 420mm AIO
@@hayden6776 someone else also mentioned rack mounting, eatx, and more HDD accommodation… unless I get a rack mount or eatx motherboard it will be hard since I like having the parts physically on hand to measure against. But will keep my eyes peeled for them.
i'd love to see a case with an angled motherboard tray since it would be an easy way to save on size as long as your willing to use a riser cable. it would require a non atx sized power supply as well though.
The quality of this video was expected to be moderate considering the amount of subscribers... But you outperformed people with 10 times the subscribers. You've got my subscription! Did you think about blocking specific parts of the mesh to generate a less chaotic air flow through the case?
Thanks for watching and also sharing your words of encouragement. I’m trying to get better at this and your words give me hope! The case is highly-unoptimized for sure and I approach it more as a proof of concept- which also makes it fun since there’s so much to improve and tweak and I’ll probably address the airflow concerns in the future. Thanks again!
Thanks for watching! You’re not the first to ask about this. If you’re really interested, check out Sliger Cases; they offer something similar and it’s the brand of my personal PC too!
Thanks so much! There are 3 slots to theoretically use an RTX 4090 FE… but most cards are 2 slot, and nothing is stopping you from using two risers; here you’ll see I used two risers - images.app.goo.gl/e4iw1eaQGCDpRwgw6 I used a modified single slot GPU to fit a a separate part, but theoretically a single slot water cooled GPU could play nice with two other PCIE components on risers. The chonky loop I can’t quite help… yet. ;)
Very solid build. Im 99% sure my TUF oc 4090 wouldn't fit however this is a very cool idea. My only concern is dust. I prefer positive pressure setups so that much mesh wouldn't work for me but i can see the appeal.
Thanks! I should have specified that in theory the RTX 4090 “FE” should fit 😅 I’ll try to address some air flow concerns in my next build, because you can bet this isn’t the last one for these parts - the PSU cables on work in this configuration now lol
Man, it’s amazing, I would buy this if a high end version exist (no diy) and maybe better build quality (find a manufacturer). This case would be my dream for my MORA 420 build with some watercooling pass through
Excellent trimming of the power cables! It's amazing how many great custom 3D cases have been uglified by messy cables. Have you considered/tried using some spiral wrap of those cables? They are very easy to work with. You might only need enough to cover the middle portions of the cables and then use extra small cable ties near the connectors.
Thanks for watching! I have some spiral wrap and even spare sheathing but decided against any sort of bundling since the 24pin cable is almost like two cables that terminate to one - this causes more bulk when bundled: www.reddit.com/r/sffpc/s/sMNLVUDCPS
@@Nedski42YT Should work but I’m honestly more than happy with the way they work so far… and the fact it’s already dismantled for the next build doesn’t help too lol
Thanks for watching and sharing the appreciation! That’s a neat idea with a rack mount, but I prefer designing for things I can physically measure and test, and I don’t have a rack mount lol
Thanks for watching! If I were to re-visit this design I would add some provisions for thin 60-80mm fans on the rear and maybe add in provisions for USB-C and audio connections on the front; and the front panel and material color could be changed for aesthetics in many way. Edit: And also add some SSD/HDD mounts
I would use the side with screw holes to have interchangeable case plates to attach art too liek consoles have faceplates. Or install interchangable harddrive bays. maybe attach magentic points for any of that kind of action. If you want to keep it small you can even put m.2 extension slots attacked to a PCIE slot. Then make cartridges for the M.2 NVME drives inside. A Harddrive dedicated to all my productivity software and I just push it in like an N64 cartridge. Separate drive from my Steam games, etc. Though of course an easier solution to my suggestion would be using a separate Dock lol.
Thanks for watching and suggesting the expandable storage! People have been bringing up storage a fair bit so it’s something I’ll take note of. Thanks again.
Why does the PSU have a fan inward and not outward? It seems to me that it would be better for the temperature if the air came from the outside, and not from the case?
Thanks for watching! The original design in my head was as you described, but when I started fitting things together, it was best to have it opposite ( My RAM essentially cut-off air from the radiator); nothing is stopping you from going with the original idea since I made the holes to accommodate for both though! But in practice the PSU doesn't seem fazed on account of fan noise, and now the VRM area has some airflow near it.
@@standupg4m3r I understood, there is logic in this I did not even think about it In this option, you can simply take a PSU with a larger capacity and it will not overheat))
@@standupg4m3r Hehehe)) Sorry. well, 1000 watts is quite enough, I just didn’t notice how much you had. Well, the only thing I thought about was to think about how to separate the video card space from other elements so that they do not exchange hot air.
hey i’ve has this idea where you use an ikea skadis pegboard as a wall mount for an open air pc case. the gpu would on a raiser to make it look neater.
Thanks lol! A tesseract PC balancing on a point won’t be too far from some of the fragile PCs I shared! Definitely jotting this down. Thanks and stay tuned!!
Mhm where can i order it 😂, awesome craftsmenship. I like the grid in the front and on the side of the case. So the PC can Star cool in hot tournaments ❤ Greetings from Germany ❤
You wanted to share your Qidi printer settings and tweaks in a Video. Nobody has done any video about that yet, and it might help other owners of the printer a lot!
Hey thanks for checking my video out! I’ll try to go over what settings I use, but I’ll just spoil it for you right now: default - besides switching the built in profiles based on filament. The only “special” thing I apply is when printing the “mesh” which is just 0 top and bottom layers.
I'm doing a similar project of my own, Are there any tips you could give to make the early development of the PC case easier and more 3D printable friendly? And would normal ABS work fine or would you still recommend more durable materials with carbon? Thanks in advance, and an amazing video with lots of inspiration taken!
Thanks! Honestly PETG without CF is fine for smaller cases; I just wanted to give this case the best chance at success with the CF impregnated filament - you should be fine with ABS (with or without Glass Fiber).
Include the print bed size you have for your 3d printer. Also with SFF Noir Shadowlink Antenna's, you can make your PC look much smaller without the large stock antenna's sticking out
I have something similar, that I used here and in other builds: ruclips.net/video/csN5J56vQgg/видео.htmlfeature=shared&t=784 But honestly I misplaced them lol PS - the link to the printer details are in the description and from the origin video I linked too.
I feel like there's no real point to that since every other mini itx case is like this. What makes this one special is there's no commercially available case this compact for a full ATX build.
¡Muchas gracias por ver! En mis años creando carcasas impresas en 3D (no solo para PCs de juegos), no he tenido problemas con EMI (interferencia electromagnética), por lo que una "jaula de Faraday" no ha sido un problema. Pero, por favor, ¡comenten si ustedes u otros usuarios tienen problemas! Supongo que las radios de aficionados o los televisores CRT podrían ser un problema.
I like the design. Would like an ITX case with SFX PSU. Similar in design, but cleaner. Maybe save a couple of threaded inserts. They seem unnecessary?
Thanks! Like I said in the video, this is essentially just transforming a test-bench into case - so not surprising that it can be improved drastically! Keep an eye out for a a following up of this project. ;)
Could you possible design parts that are split up so I can print them on my Q1 Pro which has a 245x245 build volume? Im really interested in this cause I wanna convert my full tower to something more portable but I cant spend all the money to buy another motherboard and psu.
Thanks for watching! I’ll jot it down for the future. But also keep an eye out for the next build that’s just taking me longer than I expected… you might like it. ;)
I wish I had more disposable income to share crazy 7950X and RTX 4090 builds with y'all too! Thanks for watching and commenting! PS - I now officially own SFX and Flex ATX PSUs (as seen in my previous videos) but I sold my SFX-L a few years ago and would really love to design a case using one of those GAN PSUs!
Oh duh yes of course. Yeah, the GAN 500W is just bonkers. Looking forward to seeing what you can do whenever you happen to end up with one. I wonder whether HDPlex might be interested in some sponsored content?
This is really cool, I would be interested in seeing if there is a way to fit a 360mm Rad. If that was indeed possible I would consider building it myself. Additionally, if you did do a clear side panel, if the clearance is there you could place a small screen over top of the PSU for more aesthetics / or performance monitoring.
Thanks! Fitting a 360mm was actually the original design intent… so keep your eyes peeled. ;) PS - If you’re also interested in seeing a 3D printed case with a built in screen… make sure you’re subscribed.
It’s just never big enough for y’all is it?! lol, if I ever get my hands on an e-atx I’ll give it a go; I mainly design for components I have on hand to avoid issues… and even then I still have issues as seen in my top fan placement.
I have one of those electric blowers... and trust me, I work/game in my garage so I am all about the fear of dust lol ruclips.net/video/OSTZfHggko0/видео.htmlfeature=shared
My wife always complains that I’m hard to get gifts for, but she forgets she bought me this screw driver and I’ve had so much fun owning it! Thanks for watching!
hey, any chance you could design something that could be printed on a resin printer? would love to see it. i am going to start designing my own when i get time to do so
also love your work, out of purely selfish interest ever think about designing a simple eGPU chassis that could fit say a 4090 and an SFX PSU? I am still in brainstorming phase of how I am going to setup external GPU to a 2U server I am building. thinking I will be going direct PCIE riser for now and most stuff uses aliexpress adapters to go via occulink or similar.
Thanks again for watching. That would be super neat! If I ever get my hands on the hardware needed for egpu I’ll surely give it a go. Funds don’t permit it at the moment however, but you never know.
PETG will begin to get gummy at around 80C (melts at 230C+); that means the air has to be 80C or if it’s in direct contact… if the air in your case is 80C you’re in a A LOT of trouble lol So far I have not found any issues in the number of cases I’ve made, but I won’t rule out the chance of issues arising. However, it seems risk can be had in any form when you look at things like the 12hpwr in the PC realm.
Excellent video! And the information you provide, your tool and materials is super thorough. Well done! What program do you use to design your 3D parts? My son who is 12 does some 3D printing and was using tinkercad but he couldn't modify the shapes so I suggested blender since it is open source and can be used for 3D printing, but neither he nor I know much about the program. I also heard SketchUp was easy to use but I'm not sure which program we should dedicate our time to. You don't have much time to. I have been drafting on AutoCAD for a really long time, mostly 2D architectural drawings and when I've experimented with 3D modeling inside it it wasn't very easy to use and I figured they were better programs out there to dedicate my time to. I would just like to know your opinion. Again, awesome video! Very inspirational.
Thanks for watching! I use Solidworks (too expensive to consider... but they have student versions), and I would look into Fusion 360 or Onshape if I were you and your son.
@@standupg4m3r yeah I would probably do good with those programs because I'm familiar with the AutoCAD ecosystem. But anything from Autodesk is usually expensive.

I'm glad I found this video. I'm building a custom layout mech keyboard and realize that I will need a 3D printer for the keyboad case & it's keycaps. My thoughts were to make a wooden case but building a matching computer case to my keyboard sounds much better
Thanks for watching! And why not build both?! I love the custom wood cases I see on the internet and will probably tackle one eventually too. :)
Actually I was thinking of taking ideas from this and other 3D printed cases to build a internal frame similar to those test stands and then add some nice thin sheets of wood to the outside. It would be placed on it's side like the old desktop cases were. I have this nice powerful fan whose motor has died to sit facing the ceiling. Then use washable furnace filters on all the air intake vents. The fan is so powerful but quiet that when the case is sealed up there will be a partial vacuum inside drawing the rooms air through the filters. Once I have a working prototype, I might look at a water cooling system that all the incoming air goes through. I plan to seal all the corners with aluminum tape which will Back for a nice contrast to black stained wood.
With a 3D printed case, the whole motherboard could be enclosed and short pigtail cables could be used to route the rear connectors to the outside of the case. USB based accessories can the be mounted inside the case where it 'should' be cooler then room temperature.
@@EvilDaveCanada whatever you create, please send me a link when you finish. Love seeing custom cases no matter the material. :)
@@standupg4m3rI will try to remember. My first priority is the keyboard. It will have eight(8) rows & thirty-two(32) columns. The alpha section will be in a five(5) row × five(5) column plus the 'Z' I'm NOT a touch typist so this layout should be perfect for a person who types via the peek & Poke method. I have all the MX Blue keys and boards needed to have the keyboard running Python. I am actually thinking of using a Rpi Zero 2 W for the brains instead of RP2040 based boards. I hope to get all this done before I die as I'm 64 and my warranty ran out in 2020.
Here before you surpass 5k subs and so on! Great video, and the quality is exceptional.
Thanks so much! Any case ideas you'd like see done?
Case looks nice, not to flash-e but something that looks clean without RGBs. I do appreciate the STI file is free
Thanks! 🙏🏻
Love your projects! You got a new sub!! Keep up the good work!!
Much appreciated! Let me know what you'd like to see more of.
If you're a fan of RGB or external display screens you could use the existing screw holes to affix a bracket that will adapt light strips or mini displays (kinda like the wigidash).
Though you're better off spending money on something actually useful in terms of the build or your channel- like a picture frame of your favorite feet.
Feet > anything
But in seriousness you’re not the first to suggest the screen and I like that idea too! Light strips would be neat too!
Personally, I'd use the external screw holes on the exterior of the case as a spot to mount a reservoir for a custom water cooling loop. Or maybe even for a case mounted display of some sort.
Love it!
@@standupg4m3r Thanks for the fantastic video! You've earned my sub. :)
Interesting design and the video itself as well. I think that it would be better if the motherboard backside didn't show the threaded inserts from the outside. With that said, there are a lot of parts that are really neatly designed and feel solid, and the mesh panels feel really nice. And the fact that a lot of these look really professionally made from afar, while when you zoom in on them, you can clearly see those are printed - it's an interesting thing to tackle because people got used to fully professionally surface finished things, while you don't really need all of them to be like that.
One more thing that I would like to see in your videos - print times - either overall or for specific parts like how much faster is it to print the mesh panel vs a solid one/the amount of filament difference.
Thanks, as always! I had larger ambitions for the exposed inserts - but shelved it for another video. I also didn't want to hide the fact that the test-bench piece is the heart of this case and didn't want to hide its roots; I may revisit this build with a dedicated structure, because I do agree that it could look waaaay better without.
I'll post some print times in the next video - the estimates from the slicer have been accurate so far, and I figured ppl have access to the print files and can see what their printers will do themselves - and I am now officially spoiled with the speed the Qidi Tech X-Max 3 prints at... I am a bit reluctant to share my print times because it is staggering compared to my Artillery Sidewinder X1... like 3-4x... and I would hate to say something like, "It only took me 3 hrs" and then a user sees an estimate of 12 hrs lol
this is an amazing piece. Congratz!
Thanks so much! Don’t hesitate to suggest anything you’d like to see!
Try switching to Direct Drive to get rid of the bowden tube entirely. Also wait and let your parts cool down to under 30C degree, don't force grab them out of the hot plate, you may damage the product and the plate itself.
Thanks for watching!
Both my printers are direct drive... the tube is just to guide the filament. And good advice on the cooling of parts, which I do for some larger prints; this build in particular handed it well since most of the parts were not so substantial - but the front panel I let cool while I slept in.
Hey, I've been watching a lot of your videos lately and have really been enjoying your creativity and approach to design. Just curious what program you use to model your projects? I'm about to make the jump into learning 3d modeling to hopefully design my own enclosures.
@@TechByMattB thanks! I personally use Solidworks, but I would recommend checking out OnShape (ex-Solidworks employees) since it has free options. I believe Fusion 360 has free options too, but I’ve never checked it out. Cheers and good luck!
Awesome case design and functionality . I wish I could find a mesh replacement top lid for a HP 8200 SFF.
Thanks! Also what’s stopping you from designing your own?
Hint: if you see a flat surface case design, it’s usually basic CAD that can be learned.
@@standupg4m3r Well I use Blender on a daily basis , It's just I cant afford a printer, That's why I wish people made replacement lids and sold them on line .I picked up a 8 bay DVD replicator, I am using the case to make a JBOD
@ AI mini is affordable - mow lawns, clean pools, walk dogs, sell sperm. I believe in you!
this is high quality build
Thanks so much! Let me know what more you’d like to see too.
If you make this horizontal and make a 140mm wide cut out in the motherboard side panel and then have stand offs on the vacant screw holes, allowing for external cooling. (I have a 420mm AIO and I just cannot find a half decent case to fit it in that isn't a literal reinforced tank. i.e. horizontal to allow the mounts or I would absolutely love the current for factor you have here, just extended and widened a bit to accommodate a 420mm AIO
Oh and/or a 4u/5u server chassis. and a EATX (33cm wide) mobo with a ton of HDD support.
External cooling sounds pretty cool! Thanks for the watching and sharing that suggestion.
@@hayden6776 someone else also mentioned rack mounting, eatx, and more HDD accommodation… unless I get a rack mount or eatx motherboard it will be hard since I like having the parts physically on hand to measure against. But will keep my eyes peeled for them.
i'd love to see a case with an angled motherboard tray since it would be an easy way to save on size as long as your willing to use a riser cable. it would require a non atx sized power supply as well though.
Thanks for watching and sharing your idea about an angled board. Will add it to the list!
The quality of this video was expected to be moderate considering the amount of subscribers... But you outperformed people with 10 times the subscribers. You've got my subscription! Did you think about blocking specific parts of the mesh to generate a less chaotic air flow through the case?
Thanks for watching and also sharing your words of encouragement. I’m trying to get better at this and your words give me hope!
The case is highly-unoptimized for sure and I approach it more as a proof of concept- which also makes it fun since there’s so much to improve and tweak and I’ll probably address the airflow concerns in the future. Thanks again!
phenomenal design work
Thanks kindly! If there's anything you'd like to see, comment back. :)
Outstanding!!! I would buy one of your cases should you choose to sell them. I dont yet have a 3D printer but this does make me want to get one.
Thanks for watching! You’re not the first to ask about this. If you’re really interested, check out Sliger Cases; they offer something similar and it’s the brand of my personal PC too!
This is amazing! I wish I could use this, but my crazy ass uses add in cards for more NVMe and 10Gbit, alongside a chonky custom loop
Thanks so much!
There are 3 slots to theoretically use an RTX 4090 FE… but most cards are 2 slot, and nothing is stopping you from using two risers; here you’ll see I used two risers - images.app.goo.gl/e4iw1eaQGCDpRwgw6 I used a modified single slot GPU to fit a a separate part, but theoretically a single slot water cooled GPU could play nice with two other PCIE components on risers.
The chonky loop I can’t quite help… yet. ;)
I did the same thing when I shortened a 12VHPWR cable but that wasn't 60 times, I sympathies with you.
Thanks for watching! What case were you using for it?
Fractal Terra@@standupg4m3r
I would use those side screws to make a pegboard system to put headphones controls or for most used items
I love this idea! Thanks for watching and stay tuned!
Will do ☺️🙏
Very solid build. Im 99% sure my TUF oc 4090 wouldn't fit however this is a very cool idea. My only concern is dust. I prefer positive pressure setups so that much mesh wouldn't work for me but i can see the appeal.
Thanks! I should have specified that in theory the RTX 4090 “FE” should fit 😅
I’ll try to address some air flow concerns in my next build, because you can bet this isn’t the last one for these parts - the PSU cables on work in this configuration now lol
Man, it’s amazing, I would buy this if a high end version exist (no diy) and maybe better build quality (find a manufacturer). This case would be my dream for my MORA 420 build with some watercooling pass through
Thanks a bunch!
Excellent trimming of the power cables! It's amazing how many great custom 3D cases have been uglified by messy cables.
Have you considered/tried using some spiral wrap of those cables? They are very easy to work with. You might only need enough to cover the middle portions of the cables and then use extra small cable ties near the connectors.
Thanks for watching!
I have some spiral wrap and even spare sheathing but decided against any sort of bundling since the 24pin cable is almost like two cables that terminate to one - this causes more bulk when bundled: www.reddit.com/r/sffpc/s/sMNLVUDCPS
@@standupg4m3r Would a few small black tie wraps be out of place?
@@Nedski42YT Should work but I’m honestly more than happy with the way they work so far… and the fact it’s already dismantled for the next build doesn’t help too lol
@@standupg4m3r Okay, thanks. I look forward to the next project!
No one is going to talk about the choice of words here? "Lube, gaping holes, feet action."
Thanks for checking out the build with audio on! You must have great headphones. ;)
You are best! Amazing project, go next!🎉❤
Thanks! What would get you excited for future case?
This is really well done. Have you thought about making a mod to this for a standard 19" rack mount?
Thanks for watching and sharing the appreciation! That’s a neat idea with a rack mount, but I prefer designing for things I can physically measure and test, and I don’t have a rack mount lol
This is a pretty clean ass design. Compact, minimal, simple and relatively easy to make. Anything major you would change if you did a second rev?
Thanks for watching! If I were to re-visit this design I would add some provisions for thin 60-80mm fans on the rear and maybe add in provisions for USB-C and audio connections on the front; and the front panel and material color could be changed for aesthetics in many way.
Edit: And also add some SSD/HDD mounts
Love it. Keep up the great content!
What is the filament used? petg or abs. Thanks and good job
Thanks for watching! I believe I mentioned the filament in the video but for sure I linked it in the comments; PETG-CF
I would use the side with screw holes to have interchangeable case plates to attach art too liek consoles have faceplates. Or install interchangable harddrive bays.
maybe attach magentic points for any of that kind of action. If you want to keep it small you can even put m.2 extension slots attacked to a PCIE slot. Then make cartridges for the M.2 NVME drives inside. A Harddrive dedicated to all my productivity software and I just push it in like an N64 cartridge. Separate drive from my Steam games, etc.
Though of course an easier solution to my suggestion would be using a separate Dock lol.
Thanks for watching and suggesting the expandable storage! People have been bringing up storage a fair bit so it’s something I’ll take note of. Thanks again.
It needs more spots for fans to pull in more cool air to get the temps down
Thanks for watching! And stay tuned to see a possible solution to the issue you bring up. ;)
Why does the PSU have a fan inward and not outward?
It seems to me that it would be better for the temperature if the air came from the outside, and not from the case?
Thanks for watching!
The original design in my head was as you described, but when I started fitting things together, it was best to have it opposite ( My RAM essentially cut-off air from the radiator); nothing is stopping you from going with the original idea since I made the holes to accommodate for both though!
But in practice the PSU doesn't seem fazed on account of fan noise, and now the VRM area has some airflow near it.
@@standupg4m3r
I understood, there is logic in this
I did not even think about it
In this option, you can simply take a PSU with a larger capacity and it will not overheat))
@@MrStubbs760 Indeed! 1000W is overkill for the components in this build ;)
Let me know if there are any ideas you want to see done too!
@@standupg4m3r Hehehe))
Sorry. well, 1000 watts is quite enough, I just didn’t notice how much you had.
Well, the only thing I thought about was to think about how to separate the video card space from other elements so that they do not exchange hot air.
@@standupg4m3r In general, the idea is simply great, it’s not expensive and quite practical!
hey i’ve has this idea where you use an ikea skadis pegboard as a wall mount for an open air pc case. the gpu would on a raiser to make it look neater.
Check out Honey Comb Wall in Printables. ;)
Next project: tesserac mini atx case that stands on one corner.
Loved the innuendos 👍
Thanks lol!
A tesseract PC balancing on a point won’t be too far from some of the fragile PCs I shared!
Definitely jotting this down. Thanks and stay tuned!!
Mhm where can i order it 😂, awesome craftsmenship. I like the grid in the front and on the side of the case. So the PC can Star cool in hot tournaments ❤ Greetings from Germany ❤
Vielen Dank fürs Zuschauen! Ich schätze das sehr. Zögere nicht, mir einige Vorschläge zu machen, was du als nächstes sehen möchtest!
You wanted to share your Qidi printer settings and tweaks in a Video. Nobody has done any video about that yet, and it might help other owners of the printer a lot!
Hey thanks for checking my video out!
I’ll try to go over what settings I use, but I’ll just spoil it for you right now: default - besides switching the built in profiles based on filament. The only “special” thing I apply is when printing the “mesh” which is just 0 top and bottom layers.
I'm doing a similar project of my own, Are there any tips you could give to make the early development of the PC case easier and more 3D printable friendly? And would normal ABS work fine or would you still recommend more durable materials with carbon?
Thanks in advance, and an amazing video with lots of inspiration taken!
Thanks! Honestly PETG without CF is fine for smaller cases; I just wanted to give this case the best chance at success with the CF impregnated filament - you should be fine with ABS (with or without Glass Fiber).
Also please link your finished case when you complete it. Love to see others creating and sharing. :)
Include the print bed size you have for your 3d printer. Also with SFF Noir Shadowlink Antenna's, you can make your PC look much smaller without the large stock antenna's sticking out
I have something similar, that I used here and in other builds: ruclips.net/video/csN5J56vQgg/видео.htmlfeature=shared&t=784
But honestly I misplaced them lol
PS - the link to the printer details are in the description and from the origin video I linked too.
CAN YOU MAKE A MINI ITX ONE TOO?
Because thats such a cool idea
Thanks! I’ll fire up the CAD machine. ;)
I feel like there's no real point to that since every other mini itx case is like this. What makes this one special is there's no commercially available case this compact for a full ATX build.
Pero los case metálicos hacen de jaula de Faraday, no es necesario?
¡Muchas gracias por ver! En mis años creando carcasas impresas en 3D (no solo para PCs de juegos), no he tenido problemas con EMI (interferencia electromagnética), por lo que una "jaula de Faraday" no ha sido un problema.
Pero, por favor, ¡comenten si ustedes u otros usuarios tienen problemas! Supongo que las radios de aficionados o los televisores CRT podrían ser un problema.
I like the design. Would like an ITX case with SFX PSU. Similar in design, but cleaner. Maybe save a couple of threaded inserts. They seem unnecessary?
Thanks!
Like I said in the video, this is essentially just transforming a test-bench into case - so not surprising that it can be improved drastically!
Keep an eye out for a a following up of this project. ;)
Could you possible design parts that are split up so I can print them on my Q1 Pro which has a 245x245 build volume? Im really interested in this cause I wanna convert my full tower to something more portable but I cant spend all the money to buy another motherboard and psu.
Thanks for watching! I’ll jot it down for the future. But also keep an eye out for the next build that’s just taking me longer than I expected… you might like it. ;)
I wish I had more disposable income to contribute. I'd love to ship you a dead SFX and Flex ATX power supply so you could build mock-ups with those!
I wish I had more disposable income to share crazy 7950X and RTX 4090 builds with y'all too! Thanks for watching and commenting!
PS - I now officially own SFX and Flex ATX PSUs (as seen in my previous videos) but I sold my SFX-L a few years ago and would really love to design a case using one of those GAN PSUs!
Oh duh yes of course. Yeah, the GAN 500W is just bonkers. Looking forward to seeing what you can do whenever you happen to end up with one. I wonder whether HDPlex might be interested in some sponsored content?
That would be sick!@@aaronbrook
This is really cool, I would be interested in seeing if there is a way to fit a 360mm Rad. If that was indeed possible I would consider building it myself.
Additionally, if you did do a clear side panel, if the clearance is there you could place a small screen over top of the PSU for more aesthetics / or performance monitoring.
Thanks! Fitting a 360mm was actually the original design intent… so keep your eyes peeled. ;)
PS - If you’re also interested in seeing a 3D printed case with a built in screen… make sure you’re subscribed.
WOW bro nice work!
Thanks!!!
lmaooo "ill take any chance to fill up any hole with goop that i can get"
You too?!
lol thanks for checking out my video. I really appreciate it. And don’t hesitate to suggest topics for future builds!
I’d like to see you build one that can fit an EATX motherboard in. This video’s cool i’m not familiar with 3D printing.
It’s just never big enough for y’all is it?!
lol, if I ever get my hands on an e-atx I’ll give it a go; I mainly design for components I have on hand to avoid issues… and even then I still have issues as seen in my top fan placement.
Looks beautiful, I would just be afraid of dust.
I have one of those electric blowers... and trust me, I work/game in my garage so I am all about the fear of dust lol ruclips.net/video/OSTZfHggko0/видео.htmlfeature=shared

Thanks for watching! Let me know if you got any ideas you want to share too.
hey, any chance you could design something that could be printed on a resin printer? would love to see it. i am going to start designing my own when i get time to do so
I don't have a resin printer atm, so it's going to be a no until then.
@@standupg4m3r ok buddy. Thanks for the reply. I'm going to try designing one
@@DowsettReviews post back with a link when you do! Would love to see it. :)
@@standupg4m3r will do mate
can you make this case printable in 4 or more parts so it can be printed on a 20x20x20 bed?
Thanks for watching! I may look into it for the future! Stay tuned.
@@standupg4m3r cool thanks :D didnt expect an anwser but great work mate :D
Stunning work
Thank you! More incoming ;)
also love your work, out of purely selfish interest ever think about designing a simple eGPU chassis that could fit say a 4090 and an SFX PSU? I am still in brainstorming phase of how I am going to setup external GPU to a 2U server I am building. thinking I will be going direct PCIE riser for now and most stuff uses aliexpress adapters to go via occulink or similar.
Thanks again for watching. That would be super neat! If I ever get my hands on the hardware needed for egpu I’ll surely give it a go. Funds don’t permit it at the moment however, but you never know.
for a mini lcd screen i will use the screws holes
Thanks for watching and sharing your idea!
You can be incredibly proud of yourself, this is amazing!
Is there any danger of the material warping under the system's heat at all?
PETG will begin to get gummy at around 80C (melts at 230C+); that means the air has to be 80C or if it’s in direct contact… if the air in your case is 80C you’re in a A LOT of trouble lol
So far I have not found any issues in the number of cases I’ve made, but I won’t rule out the chance of issues arising. However, it seems risk can be had in any form when you look at things like the 12hpwr in the PC realm.
Seriously, you can't go wrong with ryzen 7 5800x3D pair with RTX 4090. Seriously best build you can go with.
I’ve been on AM4 since the beginning and it’s astounding how long it’s been serving smiles this long. RTX 4090 pairing would be beast!
Now I just need to modify this for an e-atx motherboard
What motherboard and use case?
You forgot to list the feet in the description. Now "rubber feet" is in my amazon search history.
Search of “silicone feet” instead!
PS - thanks for bringing this up, I have added the link. :)
you could mount magnetic pictures to the other side
Thanks and great idea! Pictures of feet perhaps? Or maybe buff Jojo inspired chatacters?
@@standupg4m3r both
Excellent video! And the information you provide, your tool and materials is super thorough. Well done!
What program do you use to design your 3D parts? My son who is 12 does some 3D printing and was using tinkercad but he couldn't modify the shapes so I suggested blender since it is open source and can be used for 3D printing, but neither he nor I know much about the program.
I also heard SketchUp was easy to use but I'm not sure which program we should dedicate our time to. You don't have much time to.
I have been drafting on AutoCAD for a really long time, mostly 2D architectural drawings and when I've experimented with 3D modeling inside it it wasn't very easy to use and I figured they were better programs out there to dedicate my time to.
I would just like to know your opinion. Again, awesome video! Very inspirational.
Thanks for watching! I use Solidworks (too expensive to consider... but they have student versions), and I would look into Fusion 360 or Onshape if I were you and your son.
@@standupg4m3r yeah I would probably do good with those programs because I'm familiar with the AutoCAD ecosystem. But anything from Autodesk is usually expensive.
