Zalman Z11 Grill

thingiverse

I wanted to create a grill for my Zalman Z11+ case to conceal the empty drive bays, so I discovered that the bottom grill almost fit in the top and replicated it with new design elements to match the style throughout the front of the case. This project is still evolving, so any feedback from you will be greatly appreciated. I left a small gap above the frame before the very top slot (currently housing my optical drive) to accommodate another frame that can either cover the optical drive bay or create a door for it if used. This also ensures the grill remains compact enough to print on my Ender 3, given its slightly reduced bed area with ABL installed. The frame is pushed into the PC case and provides a snug fit since I haven't designed any fixings yet; however, it should securely stay in place. Additionally, I removed all of the 5-inch drive bay covers initially to install another fan, but you can keep them if you prefer not to do so. There's also a rectangular opening at the top of the grill for my custom fan controller project, but you can simply print a rectangular sheet and push fit or glue it in to block the opening if preferred. If anyone wants this feature and needs assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out; I'm still refining this project. Feel free to share any concerns or suggestions - I'd be happy to hear from you.
