Lian Li O11D side panel spacer to allow wider GPUs

thingiverse

Lian Li PC-O11D (D for Dynamic) is an excellent case. It does not support GPUs wider than 159mm though. I updated from RX580 to 6800XT and did not realize that the side panel tempered glass would not close properly with this beast in. I googled for a while without finding a solution and quickly modeled a spacer which gives you few extra millimeters to allow graphics cards that would not fit otherwise. My display adapter is 162mm (https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/powercolor-liquid-devil-rx-6800-xt.b8727) and there is 0.5-1mm space still available. You need M3 screws that will screw in the spacer and the slots should be tight enough to keep the case plugs in place. Steps to install/use: 1) Print 4 spacers. 2) Screw in M3 * 4mnm screws (make sure the screw does not come out to the other side) 3) Put the side panel on rug or other soft surface with inside up, and gently insert the plugs on the side panel to the spacers so that the opening is pointing up (in relation to the side panel) 4) Adjust the screws after the spacers are in place - tightening gently against the case plugs will ensure that they stay in place 5) Put the side panel on the case I used M3 4mm thumbscrews which fit perfectly. The metal pieces that normally go into the case feet are left hanging outside. There is no/hardly visible gap when you look at the case from front. From the back you can obviously see the spacers and the gap of few millimeters. I used Prusament PLA to print these with 0.10 layer height, 100% infill Use black or other more suitable colour if you really want these to blend in. I used whatever I had in the printer at the moment (PINK).
