Mini DTX PC Case (Remix of Mini ITX)

thingiverse

## A remix for Mini DTX Motherboards The finished computer case stands slightly taller than its mini ITX counterpart, but a larger 3D printer is not necessarily required. When modifying an existing mini ITX case, print the following: * Shell__Mini_ITX_PC_Case_DTX_Remix.stl * MoBoSupportsV2__Mini_ITX_PC_Case_DTX_Remix_JustModification.stl * BackPlate__Mini_ITX_PC_Case_DTX_Remix.stl * 3.5HddMount__Mini_ITX_PC_Case_DTX_Remix_Extension.stl (compatible with both 2.5" and 3.5") If you're printing a new mini DTX case from scratch, print the following: (if your printer allows for height) * Shell__Mini_ITX_PC_Case_DTX_Remix.stl * MoBoSupportsV2__Mini_ITX_PC_Case_DTX_Remix.stl * BackPlate__Mini_ITX_PC_Case_DTX_Remix.stl * Pilar__Mini_ITX_PC_Case_DTX_Remix.stl (for 2.5" SSD/HDD) * 3.5HddMount__Mini_ITX_PC_Case_DTX_Remix.stl (for 3.5" HDD) * Original_BackPlateFullSize.stl * Original_BasePlate.stl (print one mirrored - see below) * Original_BottomGrill.stl * Original_BottomInsert.stl * Original_Shell.stl * Original_Stand.stl * Original_TopCap.stl * Original_TopGrill.stl Also included is Stand__Tapered_And_Taller_Remix.stl, which provides more airflow with its friction-fit design underneath the computer case. Original Description for Mini ITX Version: This remix takes inspiration from a power mac style mini ITX PC case. I designed it almost a year ago and now decided to make it available for everyone. It was inspired by the popular design made by icehardy44. Visually, it looks similar but has many differences. Designed to be printed on my Prusa I3 clone with a max print height of 180 mm, most mini ITX motherboards will fit - just insert your metal back plate into the back frame. Standard and low profile motherboards are supported. The motherboard may be installed on either side (top and bottom base plates are mirrored). Compact design - about 260mm total height, 190mm diameter. There is a lot of flexibility in how to place pillars - base plates have holes for installation. Supports up to 3-4 notebook size SSD/HDDs or 1-2 3.5" HDDs. Air cooling by 1 or 2 120mm low profile (15mm) fans - I use Noctua fans. Also, standard 120mm x 25mm fans may be used under the top grill. Current design supports external PSU only. I used a MoBo with a built-in power supply/19V input and popular Mini-Box picoPSU (requires an extension cord from the motherboard to fit). Adjustable motherboard mounts. Assembled using M3 nuts and bolts (about 30 nuts and 30 bolts). Let me know if you have any questions. I printed three of these cases so far, and everything fits well. Notes: * Some parts require support. * Print BasePlace as is, then mirrored (I did it in Cura). * Print at least three pillars if not using the 3.5" HDD mount. * Top Grill and Top Cap require supports. * I printed the shell with support but may also be printed without it if your printer can do ~30mm bridges well. * You will need four M3 nuts and four M3 10mm or 12mm socket head bolts per pillar/3.5" HDD mount. * You will need eight M3 nuts and eight M3 16mm bolts for the motherboard mounts. Attach the mounts to the motherboard first.
