Computer Case Front Panel Standoff

prusaprinters

<p>UPDATE*** 6/14/20</p><p>I created some <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4460184">custom gap fillers</a> (wip) to go along with these.</p><hr/><p>I noticed my new computer was running really hot when gaming, and I assumed the lack of air intake on the front panel was the culprit. After I removed the front pane entirely, the temps dropped by ~15 degrees.</p><p>However, I didn't want to just leave the front panel off the computer, as it completes the look. And I didn't want to modify the panel by drilling or cutting holes.</p><p>I designed these standoffs because it's a reversible modification. They put the panel 30mm off the chassis.</p><p>My case is an IBUYPOWER Element MR, though, I'm sure these will work on any other case that has a similar front panel with 10mm holes on the chassis and push pin clips on the front panel. And I believe this case is based on an NZXT case.</p><p>I did not necessarily need all 8 to hold the front panel, I just used all 8 so I wouldn't see the other unused pins on the panel showing.</p><p>And I may come back in the future and add something a little more stylish to complete the mod. Stay tuned.</p><p>I imagine these would look really nice, almost stock, with an SLA printer.</p><p>Here are the Cura print settings I used, but you can modify however you like:</p><p>-Super Quality (Low quality for me would not print the pin parts correctly on my Ender 3 Pro)</p><p>-100% infill</p><p>-Tree supports enabled</p><h3>Print Settings</h3><p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p><p>Creality</p><p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong><div><p>Ender 3 Pro</p></div><p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p><p>No</p><p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong><div><p>Yes</p></div><p><strong>Infill:</strong></p><p>100</p><p><strong>Filament:</strong></p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/s?url=search-alias&amp;field-keywords=Matterhacker+pla" target="_blank"> Matterhacker pla </a><p>Black</p></p></p>Category: Computer
