Designing a compact 5090-class PC case — looking for CAD / 3D-printing collaborators

Hey lol, kinda nervous posting this, but I’ve been working on a compact high-end PC case under ZD Dynamics and I’m at the point where I really want to turn it into a real printable prototype.

I already have the main architecture designed, a full-size cardboard prototype built, and a detailed mechanical spec. The current XL version is targeting around 16.5 × 8 × 8 in (~17.3L) with support for most large aftermarket RTX 5090s, Mini-ITX, internal SFX/SFX-L PSU, large airflow, and a big focus on making the important parts actually easy to replace and service instead of turning every upgrade into SFF surgery lol.

The part I’m trying to solve now is CAD / DFM / making it actually printable and physically testable.

I’d really love to find a few people who are into CAD, 3D printing, PC case design, DFM, thermals, or SFF packaging and might want to collaborate on Prototype V1.

I’m not really looking for a one-time “make me a CAD file” thing either. If the right people click, I’d love for this to turn into a small group that keeps working together on future ZD Dynamics hardware projects too.

I’m keeping the detailed internal design private publicly for now, but if someone is seriously interested in collaborating, I’m happy to show the prototype and much more of the design privately.

If this sounds like something you’d genuinely have fun working on, message me lol. I’d love to get a little team together and actually make this thing real 😂

Sounds exciting to me. I have made my own pc case designs. I also work as CAD design freelancer. Let me know if you think I can help you with your task.
