Legless Lack Enclosure Black PSU

thingiverse

I've only been experimenting with this stuff for a couple of weeks now, but I'm really grateful for all the innovative ideas and creative input on this platform. Anyway, I want to print an ABS enclosure, so I need a design that's gonna work for me. Chris Riley did a fantastic job on his YouTube video about building an enclosure, but I have two main concerns with it - first, mine would be placed on my desk and I don't want the extra height, and second, I'm not a fan of the lack of stability. What I've done is modify the design to remove the lower legs and use just the upper enclosure and the lower table top as a base. To mount the PSU, I took parts from two different PSU holders - kilodeltakilo's and azaletel's - and merged them together. I attached them to the side of the base with the PSU sitting flat on the desktop. All PSU vents are exposed now, but I'm not sure if this orientation will affect the PSU cooling. No extra wiring was needed. I printed the lower bracket from azaletel and the upper bracket from kilodeltakilo. The pictures should make it clear. Pic 1 shows me cutting zip ties, removing PSU wires, and retying them. Pic 2 is a hole drilled for the bracket. Pic 3 shows the bracket screwed into place. Pic 4 needed some sanding to fit properly. Pic 5 has the other bracket screwed in, ready for the PSU. Pic 6 shows the PSU installed without an enclosure. Pic 7 is mostly finished. I also added rubberized feet to the bottom of the base.
