Update (V3) and finished: closing minor gaps at front patch and base 4 - all works!

Update (V2): Two slight modifications: Mainboard is a little bit wider than expected -> changed Base-3, GPU sits lower than expected -> changed GPU-mount

(V1): This is my first try on a small m-ATX PC-housing (in my case a AMD Ryzen 5 CPU and a R9 290 GPU).

Design goal was to have a small, very open design for mounting it under a desk.

My desk has a sidewall, where i want to place this assembly into the top corner. So it basically only needs a front, the rest can be as open as possible for maximum airflow. Therefore the housing is designed to be screwed to a side panel, but could also be used a an open design desk top PC.

I'm currently printing it in PLA, so far it looks very promising. Most taller parts were divided to maintain the print orientation for most strength.

Place it on the print bed that the tip in the holes faces upwards.

All parts and bore holes are designed for printing without supports (except SSD-mount)

All parts are designed to fit on a 200 x 200mm printing bed.

All taller parts have a M6x120mm DIN912 screw inside and a M6-nut underneath, to give the parts a metal barebone and therefore more strength. In total there are eight M6x120 screws included.

I designed also an SSD-support, as I want to add at least one additional SSD to the M2-disk on the mainboard.

For front USB3-Access I bought a CSL USB3.2 3.5" front panel from Amazon and unscrewed it from the metal panel https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00OB8OPDK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

For on/off switch I used a extension kit Angeek Desktop PC Power Switch from Amazon to place the on/off switch on top of the table https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B08HH6S6V2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

According to Cura this will consume around 840g PLA (with 0,2mm, 25% infill and no supports) and 79h printing time

The only part with support is the SSD-mount

Included are the Solidworks-Files and also Step-Files of all parts, in case you want to remix / optimize it.

For the print you only need the .stl files, just ignore the rest :)

Have fun,

Sebastian
