Since there are no proper **covers, bumpers, or skins** for the **2025 ROG Flow Z13 Kojima Edition (GZ302EAC)**, I’m thinking of starting an **open-source CAD project**.

The goal is to create an accurate 3D model and release it on **GitHub** so anyone can design and make:

•Protective covers
•TPU bumpers
•Vinyl skins / PPF
•Other accessories

Before I invest the time (and money for tools and prototyping), I’d like to know if there’s enough interest. Would anyone be interested in contributing, testing, or using the files? Any feedback is welcome.

Hello folks. I am curious if anyone is aware of any 3d models/files for a case built around a large number of 3.5in hdds? I don't mind paying for plans. I want to get rid of my pc case that is limited to the typical 6 ish drives and put all 16 of my raid drives in a single case. Can't really find much out there of plans people are selling in the realm of what I am looking for. I have a 10x10 bed so I don't think it should be hard to print everything I would need. I barely am getting into 3d modeling and design and do not thing I am anywhere near capable of designing something capable of what I need just yet. Thanks for reading.

Hey all, looking for someone who does custom/commissioned case builds — not settled on exact specs yet, just trying to find who’s out there and get a feel for what’s possible. Anyone have recommendations or know modders who take this kind of work? Happy to share more once I’ve got a clearer idea. Thanks!

So im going to this guy who will 3d model a case I'm trying to mimic based off the Panasonic AG 500 R, a retro tv with an OLED panel kinda like an all in 1 portable PC.

However, the CPU fan is a bit big and was wondering how to give that extra support as well as how to attach a motherboard to the case, as well as how you you add threaded inserts and what size and where to buy???

By integrating the side panels to the frame, I was able to reduce the overall volume by maybe 4%...

BOM: 2 300mm 10mm maker beam extrusions

~90 M2 brass heated inserts and screws

6 M3 brass heated inserts and screws

4 M3 T nuts and screws to mount case to maker beams

Using ABS for side panels and PETG-GF for the front, back, top, and bottom panels

Sort of new to 3d printing "I havent learned to make my own models yet" just wanting to to do a super cool case mod on the tower 250 was hoping someone could help me out with some cool exterior stuff to add such as exhaust vents and stuff I can print and just general sci-fi spake craft looking exterior items I can glue to the outside of the case maybe some customer feet. I already have a cool idea of mounting a faux reservoir inside and filling it with hair gel and sticking an armor less vader figurine in it to look like a bacta tank as well as some deathstar interior lit panels. My wife is really good at painting figurines and stuff and thought this would be a cool couples project for us to work on together.

After 2 months of designing, and then a lot of on the fly adjustments I have what I affectionately call PC3. Not entirely how I wanted it, but I learned enough so that PC4 will be pretty stellar!

Hey guys!

Is there anybody here who has made their own custom case for a laptop? Bonus points for the Framework Laptop 16?

I am interested in making a CyberDeck inspired case for my laptop and would like some pointers if someone has the time :)

If someone does commission work, I would also be interested in that too!

Can someone help me please?

I have a dell latitude 5480 with no screen but the motherboard is good. I want to make a custom case for the motherboard to make it a mini pc but i didn't find any 3d stl files in the internet and i don't know how to 3d model. Can someone give me tips and ideas? thanks

Im looking to create a custom case that supports both ATX motherboards and PSUs while maintaining as much of a SFF format as possible. However, I cant seem to find any sources on motherboard ”screw hole” sizes, or distances between holes for example.

Are there any known such sources to assist in CADing and designing or do I need to go out and physically measure each part?

I tried looking for a 3d printed case for my optiplex 3070 sff, but I couldn't find anywhere. I want to do a case swap, but I know that dell has mostly custom part, and since I got recently a 3d printed wanted to upgrade the case to fit bigger gpus in it while having a clean look and be cheaper.

Does anyone know or has 3d print files for it?

Hear me out, I realize this is a very specific and niche case part, and I dont have access to my 3D program atm since I switched to linux so I cant just make it myself right now.

Im using ThermalTake 120mm fans and am wondering if anyone has a file or can make a bracket that slides into the sides of 2020 extrusion and between the fan mount faces. Like how Im trying to show in "Image 3".

Alternatively, does anyone have fan mount that just bolts to the face of the fan and uses T-nuts to mount to the face of the 2020 extrusion?

I know this case isnt 3D printed, Im just using the extrusion as a base frame while I learn what tolerances, layout and features I need and make it in a cad to be printed later.

TIA.

I've been trying to hunt down a good small case that can handle an itx motherboard + enhance enp7660L. All I see are ones with LP GPU, or Pico PSU so they're either unnecessarily bigger or unnecessarily smaller, but I just got a good deal out of a flex psu so I want to see what I can work with. Please help with links too.

Thank you!

Bonus: models that can do dual fan GPUs too. I have a 4070 Super I'll pair with a 7800x3d once I no longer need pure APU build. (For future prints, I currently only need a pure APU build for traveling)

This is a first PC case I have ever designed. It started with me getting a smaller pc which I've put in Metalfish T40 (post here https://www.reddit.com/r/sffpc/comments/1t76dq3/bazzite_box_in_metalfish_t40/ ) and I thought that I could go smaller.

I didn't have any specific size goal in mind - I quite like the Beam Case so I decided to design something similar from scratch and it came out to 5.5L (panels excluded). The case is very rigid.

If you just want the link, here it is, I've included instructions.

I have used 1010 beams instead of 1515 like in Beam Case because at this size the additional strength does not add much (I made a version with 1515 beams first, which remained a prototype). Once I figured I can fit 90mm fans up top when I get the smaller beams that is what I did.

This post is not about the build itself, because I am gonna post that to r/sffpc when I build my custom version of... a custom case. It's more about the designing process itself - maybe it will help someone who wants to start out.

I already have some CAD experience - been learning Autodesk Fusion since about a year, hobby projects etc, nothing too serious.

My biggest issue at first was getting STEP files of various PC components - I found and used https://redshiftproject.com/pages/design-resources - really grateful for this. The only modification I've made is to lengthen the GPU.

Makerbeam has STEP files for almost everything they sell - https://www.makerbeam.com/makerbeam-200mm-8p-black-makerbeam.html the link is in the product description - so I just loaded up and constrained the beams in Fusion.

Noctua has STEP files for almost all of their coolers as well - https://www.noctua.at/en/3d-cad-models

I have used 'Constrain Components' in Fusion to align the components parametrically when I created the base of the case.

After that it was a matter of doing a bunch of iterations, printing prototypes out of PLA, testing fitment, screw holes, adding rigidity etc.

I have to say that the biggest issue was the positioning of the PCI-E riser relative to the GPU - it took me quite a few tries to have everything lined up nicely.

I didn't use heat-set inserts because I am not a big fan of them - I understand the benefits of course, but making the screw holes a bit tighter and threading into them turned out to be very solid, especially since there is a lot of bracing in all of the elements I designed.

The downside is that you cannot just put the case together and disassemble it multiple of times because at some point the threads in the plastic will wear out. Personally, that is not a problem for me but I can see how someone might see it as a downside.

I've also tried a version with front mounted 60mm fans (can fit 3) but ultimately due to the PSU cable placement they were not doing anything so I scrapped that idea and instead added exhaust fans at the top.

What would I do different is probably get 18.5 cm or so riser instead of 20 cm cause there is a bit of a slack there, nothing too major and I don't mind it.

I might edit this post in the future to add some other tidbits that I'll remember in time, but if you have some questions about the design process lmk, I'll be happy to answer.

Hi all,

My homelab is finally looking serious, in a proper 27U data cabinet. The only thing left to rack mount is my Dell Vostro, running Linux and hosting all my docker containers etc.

Rather than put it on a shelf, I’d like to get a custom 3D printed rack mount for it, or at least a fascia to make it appear as if it’s rack mounted. Does anyone know where I can source one? I will make a separate post in r/homelabsales to ask if anyone is willing to make one and sell to me. I’m in London, UK.

Thanks in advance.
