Thermaltake Matrix Front Panel USB

thingiverse

Thermaltake Matrix computer cases come with a convenient side USB panel that can be frustrating if your computer is situated below a table and accessing the ports is a challenge. This handy replacement solution relocates the USB panel's mounting point to the front of the case, fitting snugly inside one of the floppy bays. Assembly Instructions: 1. Carefully print the part using STL exactly as shown, taking note that some supports will be required for the clips to hold their shape properly. Printing in a harder-to-print orientation may yield stronger results. 2. Remove the front cover of your computer case and locate the USB panel module at the bottom, which resembles a large milky white component. 3. Unscrew the two screws holding the USB panel module against the cover, leaving the module intact as is. 4. Gently pull out all the cables from the USB panel module to free it from the computer case's internal components. 5. Carefully guide the USB connector ports, FireWire jacks, and audio connectors through the holes on the printed panel, ensuring screw holes align perfectly. 6. Reattach the USB panel module to the printed panel using the original screws for secure fastening. 7. Route the cabling through the floppy bay and push the printed panel into the floppy bay port until it clicks firmly into place, just like the original blank panels do. As always, I've included a Blender source file for your convenience, allowing you to edit the design if needed.
