ITX Case for PfSense / OPNsense Firewall / Router REMIX

thingiverse

I scoured the internet for an ITX case to build a pfsense router, and I finally found it. I was searching for something compact that supported standard internal power supplies, had the NIC above the board, and wasn't too large. After hours of browsing, I stumbled upon lowfat's case design, which met most of my requirements but was tailored specifically to his hardware. I decided to take on the challenge and modify it to suit my needs. I present my Mini-ITX pfsense router case design, a work in progress that hasn't been printed yet! **Requires an 11x10 or larger print bed for optimal results; an 11x9 print bed will also work if you remove the PCIe mount tab.** Here are the changes I made: * Made the PCIe slot universal to fit half-height cards, secured by a combination of screws and nuts. * Extended the width and added a mounting location for TFX power supplies, allowing for a 5mm gap to accommodate bumpout fan models. * Added two 80mm fan mounts to the front and extended the depth by 1 inch. * Moved the power button to the front, retaining its original 12mm diameter. * Modified the top to include slot mounts for a 40mm x 10mm fan, which can be positioned to cool the add-in NIC. * Added mounting holes for 2.5" HDD/SSD storage and integrated motherboard standoffs using standard 6-32 computer screws. To assemble this case, you'll need: * PCIe bracket: two 3mm x 10mm screws and nuts, one 4mm x 10mm screw and nut * Motherboard: four 6-32 computer screws * Power Supply: three 6-32 x 3/8" screws * 80mm fans: four 4mm x 15mm screws and nuts (or standard fan screws) * 40mm fan: four 3mm x 15-16mm screws, plus nuts; may require washers for fans with larger hole sizes * 2.5" HDD/SSD: three 3mm x 5mm screws * Top: eight 4mm x 10mm screws
