ATX Backplane

thingiverse

A printed ATX backplane designed for standard ATX motherboards, with easy conversions available for micro and extended boards. To accommodate diverse motherboard types, it's been split into two parts for dual bed printing on a replicator. Initial testing suggests that all components should fit seamlessly, but confirmation will depend on actual usage. Size-wise, the printed design looks suitable. Modular options are now available with separate STL files and Sketchup documents included. For users preferring less clutter, the four-slot variant without I/O has been updated to feature vertical holes. These designs aim to cater to diverse preferences while minimizing excess components. Printing Results: Printed ATX backplane in PLA material worked well when printed on a raft with minimal support structures in place. Users seeking optimal performance can use these printing results as a starting point. The seven-slot design incorporates hole spacings intended for use within the 20x20 extrusion framework of new PC builds, showcasing versatility in component integration.
