CariBeige - the Carriable ATX PC Case

As a busy, ever-moving college student (currently) I need to lug my PC around a lot. I didn't want to lug a heavy aluminum case with a lot of wasted space. Thus, I built a full ATX compatible case with a carrying handle.

SOME IMPORTANT NOTES:

Using an air-based CPU cooler is not advised, all-in-one water coolers are highly recommended. The GPU in my system is 285mm, and just barely does not touch the 15mm thick fan, be advised on GPU length. Lastly, while you can use a full ATX power supply with this build, I would recommend using an SFX one instead.

You can see what parts my current build is made of here.

NON-PRINTABLE PARTS:

This requires a lot of filament, as well as some extra parts you can purchase on Amazon. The links are provided below.

• USB 3.0 Motherboard Connector
• USB 2.0 Motherboard Connector
• 12mm Power Button
• ATX Case Screws

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS:

This is designed to be printed in 4 main sections on a 200x200mm build plate, with printable plastic connectors connectors and with minimal supports. You can use glue or a soldering iron to fuse the parts together permanently.

1. Print all the parts in their required quantities. Be sure to check the file notes on how many you need!
2. Next, assemble the handle and fuse the three parts together.
3. Then, put the four main case sections together.
4. Be sure to insert the handle into the top two sections.
5. All the brackets should be place and connected on the outside of the case.
6. Finally, fuse all the sections together. You can use the brackets as fusing material if you are using an iron!

The ATX motherboard can be placed on the printed standoffs, and using either main board fixed screws (M3-5x7) or chassis high-strength screws (6#-32x6) to secure the ATX motherboard. You can use the chassis hand twist screws (aka thumb screws) (6#-32x6) to secure PCIe cards. The rest is standard PC assembly.

NOTES:

There are absolutely improvements that could be made, such as thinner walls with higher infill, SFX instead of ATX PSU support, removing the printed motherboard standoffs to use the ones included in a kit, and some minor adjustments to the PCIe brackets and slots. There are many cases like this, but this one is mine!
