Description

PDF

Pictured is a project that came from this one; a MiSTer FPGA setup with power supply, USB hub and RCA audio in a mini-ITX case. 

If you print this with 100% infill you will have a solid plastic unit that can be cut and drilled (brad point drills work way better on printed items), great for prototyping projects in a mini-ITX case. It has standard mini-ITX mounting holes.

The underside of the plate has recesses for the standoffs, this is to lower the base so that the bottom of the IO plate matches the hole in the case making a simpler print. Printing with the IO plate face down is best to minimize supports. All but the small overhang where the base is wider than the IO plate is printed unsupported. 

IO plate has reinforcing all around; this can be removed but makes it more sturdy, very good idea if you are going to mount connectors or controls directly to it.
