Whole model was printed on ender 3 v2 neo with impact PLA material which strength is close to ABS and PETG. I am not sure if regular PLA is strong enough for this assembly.
My printer settings:
- 0.6mm nozzle
- 0.28mm layer height
- 3 top, 3 bottom layers, 2 perimeters
- 20% infill
- 40mm/s speed
With these settings I managed to print all parts in 28 hours and spent about 580g of filament.
Parts needed for build:
- 4x 6.5mm 6-32-M3 Computer Golden Motherboard Riser
- 4x M3x5mm screws for motherboard
- 4x 6-32 screws for power supply
- 35x M3x6mm screws to attach parts (8x Optional for sata 2.5 drive)
- 9x M3x3mm brass thread insert nuts (4x Optional for sata 2.5 drive)
- 22x M3x4mm brass thread insert nuts
- 1x 16mm Powerbutton
- Mesh filter (Optional)
- Flat rubber feet (Optional)
Assembly steps:
First of all I installed all heat inserts (I left small 0.5mm groove for easier installation):
- 4x M3x3 for sata ssd bracket
- 5x M3x3 for motherboard bracket
- 2x M3x4 for power supply holder
- 10x M3x4 for front case
- 10x M3x4 for back case
Installed 4x 6.5mm 6-32-M3 Computer Golden Motherboard Risers with screw driver and installed power button to front case.
Then I went with this assembly sequence:
- Attached sata ssd with ssd bracket and installed to motherboard bracket
- Installed power supply to back case panel
- Attached back case panel to motherboard bracket
- Attached 2x psu holders to motherboard bracket to secure power supply in place
- Attached front case panel to motherboard bracket
- Installed motherboard with all computer components
- Connected all cables
- Glued mesh filter to top, bottom and side case panels
- Attached top and bottom case panels
- Attached case side panels
- Glued flat rubber feet to bottom panel standoffs.
I needed small APU computer for basic usage. Because I had little space on my desk and since Itx cases a quite pricy I decided to print and build one with spare pc parts that I had.
Pc specs:
- Motherboard asus prime a320I-K
- Cpu ryzen 3400g
- Ram hyperx fury 8gb
- Cpu cooler Jonsbo HP-400S
- Psu FSP sfx pro 450w
- Ssd sata corsair force le 120gb
Max stress tested CPU temperature without case: 71c, In case with mesh filters: 76c
looking forward to your questions and thoughts.
