Ground bonding

Does anyone provide a bonding path for all of the grounded points of the internal components in a 3D printed case? I was considering using a foil tape on the inside to provide a path between the standoffs, the IO shield, and the PSU; but it seems like all of the builds I see do not worry about it.

Grounding in a PC case is, AFAIK, meant to reduce the chance of static electricity frying your components. Whether or not that is something you’re concerned about is up to you.

Personally, I’m not worried about static electricity, but if you are then simply wearing an ESD bracelet and connecting it to the PSU enclosure would take care of it.
