{"data":{"model":{"id":"743339","slug":"mini-itx-apu-pc-case","name":"Mini ITX APU pc case","authorship":"author","club":false,"excludeCommercialUsage":false,"price":null,"eduProject":null,"ratingAvg":"5.0000000000","myRating":null,"ratingCount":1,"description":"

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.
