Mini ITX Case with Water Cooling Support

thingiverse

Update June 4th, 2020: - I've managed to trim the size down a bit. In pursuit of supporting water cooling, I created a case that had over 23 liters in volume. That doesn't fit what I consider "Small Form Factor." While it's not much, I lowered it by 1.5 liters. This change comes from reducing vent space along the top and bottom of the case. There are still 20mm of vent space, so it should get enough air. As for fan orientation, they'll be pointed in one direction, making one an intake and one an exhaust. I also had to edit the front part of the spine because I thought radiator ports would interfere with everything coming together. If you have any ideas for making it smaller while still holding all its components, please leave a comment - my mind is blank after staring at it in CAD space. - I added ridges to the bottom piece because I wasn't confident in its ability to support both the radiator and fans. I also split the part so it would be easier to print given that my printer's build volume doesn't exceed 240mm in any direction. This PC case is still a work in progress since I haven't had a chance to print it and test it on my own, but I've got the files pretty much done for the first revision. Since I have them ready, I decided to publish it in case anyone wants to try it themselves. This is a remix of fjaquino's remix that he did. I liked the way his looked and wanted to edit his to fit 2 240mm radiators and a tiny reservoir with a pump. Unfortunately, this means pieces require a substantial amount of gluing if you don't use a printer the size of the CR-10 and equivalent printers. The files in this project will be uploaded with the ender 3 being the primary assumed printer. As per fjaquino's post, do not use PLA considering how low PLA's transition temperature is. Also, the Case Bottom Cover .stl's have to be printed mirrored too for it to fully cover and provide support for the case. Note, the large space in the side panels is for windows on each side. Getting all this stuff into this case feels like quite an accomplishment - show it off! I might post revisions with vents just for variety. If you have any edits or suggestions to the design, please post them in the comments here. I'll probably do a few myself once I get the materials I need to print it. Sorry about the naming scheme being so inconsistent.
