Ncase M1 - TopHat - Large 58mm

thingiverse

The TopHats have been designed based on the v5.0 of the Ncase, and I'm not sure if earlier versions of the case will cause any issues with this model. Info: This is a "tophat" mod for the "Ncase M1" case to improve airflow and/or mount an AIO at the top of the case. There are currently several different sizes of the tophat, so make sure you have selected the proper height of the model before printing! Do the math beforehand and know your components dimensions, as some of these models can take more than 24h to print (based on specific settings). Large - 58mm TopHat: Fan size is 2x120mm, fan height is 15/25mm, radiator size is 120/240mm, and radiator height is 27/30mm. Fan/AIO Brackets: In order to attach the fans or AIO to the tophat, you have two options: Use the original Ncase AIO-bracket and attach them at the top of the frame, or print the included fan-railing brackets and attach them at the bottom of the frame (6pcs). Underside Clips: Also included as a separate print are two small underside clips, that should be attached to the bottom-front and rear part of the frame. These are needed to firmly place the tophat to the case itself. One needs to remove the front panel and slide in the tophat so that the clips slide under the thin case frame. Screws: In order to attach the fan-brackets and the underside-clips, you would need some standard flat-head machine screws: Fan-railings require 8 x M3x8mm, and underside clips require 4 x M3x8mm. Top panel clips: The top-panel locks in the same way it originally does, by using the Ncase panel clips. I used the 4 clips from the top of the case (be careful when removing) and placed them on each of the four clip holders on the tophat. You basically just need to slide them in sideways. Sizes: Below is a list of currently available sizes and what options they have. The sizes differ by the height of the tophat. If there is a particular size that is missing that you would like to see, send me a message and I'll find time to add it. I can also provide models that are not sliced at the middle, if you have a large enough printer. Small - 18mm: Fan size is 2x120mm, fan height is 15mm. Medium - 28mm: Fan size is 2x120mm, fan height is 25mm. Large - 58mm (this): Fan size is 2x120mm, fan height is 15/25mm, radiator size is 120/240mm, and radiator height is 27/30mm. Contribution: Any tips or ideas for improving the tophat are welcome!
