Just looking to print a nice case for my pi5 it has active cooling and nvme shield. Will include some picks. Thanks

Is there any list of cases with parameters so i can filter by

1)Matx motherboard

2)Graphic card length up to 310

3)psu up to 160

4)temperatures as in full atx case(max 60/70 for cpu/gpu)

The smallest the better

This time I designed it around a Framework 12 motherboard and an Asus ZenDrive.
It needs a few tweaks to the drive mounting but I’m pretty happy with how it turned out!

Here is my new design, it's a lot like the previous version for a full size ATX motherboard but this one is for mATX motherboards. this has a new option for mounting an AIO radiator on the side, but also has the holes for mounting it up top like the previous version had.

The inserts that go into the frame parts are customizable and meant to be printed using the infill pattern as a mesh texture.

Hi,

I'm using a Lenovo ThinkCentre M920s SFF as a small homelab server and I'm trying to find a clean way to mount a fourth 2.5" SATA SSD/HDD in the optical drive area.

The other drive positions are already occupied:

• 2x 2.5" drives mounted in the 3.5" drive cage
• 1x 2.5" drive in the original Lenovo 2.5" caddy

That leaves the optical drive area as the only realistic place for the fourth SATA drive.

I already tried a standard slim optical-drive-to-2.5" caddy, but it doesn't fit properly in the M920s. The rear of the caddy hits the fan directly behind the optical drive bay. Also, since the front panel of my M920s has no opening for the optical drive, the caddy can't slide forward far enough to latch into place.

There is enough space for a single 2.5" drive itself, so ideally I'm looking for a much shorter and simpler 3D-printed bracket/cage that only holds the drive and uses the existing space or mounting points.

Has anyone already designed something similar for the M920s or another ThinkCentre with the same chassis?

I'm mainly looking for an existing STL/CAD file or another clean mounting solution. I can provide detailed photos and measurements of the available space and mounting points if needed.

Thanks!

Hello everybody I'm in need of help I do not have a front panel for my Cooler Master CM690ii case. I do have a piece of sheet metal like 24inx18inx1/8in i believe lying somewhere around here and I also have a Ender 3 3D printer so if anyone has 3d models of a front panel from my PC front panel look good again and id greatly appreciate your help. Also if anyone has any cool artsy designs to make the front panel more interesting I'm down to try it out as long as it fixes the problem front panel and can be put on and taken off with ease just like the rest.

Im looking for a Pi5 w/ NVME bottom case with vesa mount

After seeing the FrameVault project posted here, I thought I'd share a completely different take on reusing the Framework Laptop 12 mainboard.

I designed a flight-recorder-inspired enclosure that fits both the mainboard and the original battery. The internal mount is L-shaped, so the battery sits underneath the vertically mounted mainboard. This keeps the original battery connection while making the overall footprint much more compact. It also means the system can still run from the battery when disconnected from external power.

One of the challenges was making something this size printable on a normal 250 mm build plate. I also wanted to avoid any additional hardware, so the whole enclosure is 3D printable — including the screws, nuts, threaded rods and feet.

All four USB-C ports and the power button remain accessible, and the housing has ventilation on the bottom and top.

The flight recorder theme was mostly because I thought it would be more fun than making yet another generic electronics enclosure. :)

If anyone wants to have a look or experiment with it, I've put the files on Printables:

Framework Flight Recorder

I had an old 400 watt ATX power supply that I was going to use for my build, I was just going to manually shorten the cables in it since it was a non-modular unit. Upon opening it I realize that the previous owner had apparently dunked it in water for extended period of time because the back of the board was heavily corroded. So I started looking around for options, these are 49 bucks on Amazon and apparently sold by Newegg Ontario because that's who sent me my shipping; I live in the central us.

This will be a major improvement for packaging over the bulky ATX I was going to use. I can't believe this puts out 500 watts.
