SSUPD Meshlicious I/O bracket 2 x DisplayPort + Drain

<p>Inspired by the many other designs available on thingiverse. Mostly based mine off of <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5086410">SSUPD Meshlicious rear GPU cable bracket for extension cables</a> by <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/fanatic789">fanatic789</a>. Thanks bud! I redrew it from scratch myself because I needed to add the drain port so dimensions and cutouts will be different.</p><p>Couple of things to mention:</p><ul><li>If I were to redo it, I'd probably lower the overall thickness a bit as the displayport hooks don't lock in due to too much distance between the receptacle and the cable. So basically I'd shave off one or two layers (so 0.2mm or 0.4mm) from the two faces facing away from each other when the bracket is mounted. This would lower the overall thickness by 0.4mm or 0.8mm. I don't have my own 3D printer and had it printed by a colleague so since it works I haven't redone it. I'm not sure how much the sturdiness would be impacted.</li><li>You'll need to cut a corner of the inside plate a bit because the screw mounting the motherboard tray to the back of the case is in the way. I decided to do this after printing with an exacto knife.</li><li>If you want to counter-sink your screws like I did. Used a standard counter-sink drill bit in my cordless drill. Just take it slow and test-fit the screw often. The screws I used are M4 screws.</li><li>In my case I'm using the graphics card in the lowest position. I'm also using extra standoffs on both the motherboard and the graphics card to allow cables to be managed in between.</li><li>I removed the rightmost GPU holding strut as it wasn't carrying any weight and it was in the way.</li><li>I'm using ADT-link P7A-P8T-SI with 15cm lengths. Signal is impacted as not all DP cables seem to work so keep that in mind, especially if you (like me) want to use high refresh rates/high resolutions.</li><li>I've included both an .STL file and a Fusion360 .F3Z file so if you need to edit something you can.</li></ul><p>In case you're curious about the full build, there's more info and pictures here: <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/SSUPD/comments/ts99et/1st_watercooled_build_1st_itx_build_1st_white/">https://www.reddit.com/r/SSUPD/comments/ts99et/1st_watercooled_build_1st_itx_build_1st_white/</a></p><p>In case of questions, don't hesitate to contact me.</p>
