Compact Design Standard ATX

I'm currently working on an mITX case, redirecting all my focus towards it. Check out this project on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmods/comments/cxrfne/custom_mitx_case_lasercut3dprinted_waiting_for/ This is the first version of the case I've assembled, and everything fits perfectly except for a few slots where the motherboard was supposed to fit into the 3D printed corners. To fix this issue, I used a soldering iron with an old tip to open up these slots. The case is simple in design, making it suitable for most computer parts. I cut the case into individual pieces so that they can be printed on most printers one part at a time. This reduces the cost of filament to around $10 at most. If you have access to a laser cutter, I highly recommend trying out this project and creating your own design. When building the case, make sure your power supply has a footprint similar to mine or smaller. The EVGA 750 B3 is my choice for the power supply. All 120mm fans should fit, as well as standard motherboards and full-sized graphics cards. Here are some important notes to keep in mind: * There's no SSD/HDD mount yet. * Laser cut pieces require a small amount of sanding before they can be fitted into place. * Use 4M bolts to secure the case together. Align the top and bottom plates with the side frames, then superglue them in place. The small tabs on the side frames are not designed to support heavy weight, so it's essential to glue these ones as well. I'm currently building this case using a larger printer, which allows me to print the entire frame in just six pieces. Once completed, it will look great with the black frame and stained wood panels.
