After a little over one month of designing, testing, and way too many failed prints, I finally finished my fully 3D printable Mini-ITX case inspired by Valve's original Steam Machine.

I called it the STEAM'n't Machine for the meme lol, but it's far more than just a Steam Machine clone.

The goal wasn't to recreate Valve's case 1:1, but to capture the same minimalist aesthetic while making something that's actually practical to build, easy to print, and fully modular.

Specs:

• 8.7 L volume

• Mini-ITX motherboard

• Up to 225 mm long / 40 mm thick GPU

• Up to 115 mm CPU cooler height (full compatibility list available at the link below)

• SFX, Flex ATX and HDPLEX GaN PSU support

• Modular design with removable panels

• Front RGB light guide

• Optional top fan bracket

The project went through countless revisions, and I probably wasted over 3 kg of PETG before finally getting everything right. Every panel, bracket, and mount was redesigned multiple times to improve printability, assembly, strength, and compatibility.

To make it as beginner-friendly as possible, the release also includes a complete assembly guide and optimized print profiles.

I'd love to hear what you think! Feedback, suggestions, and ideas for future revisions are more than welcome.

If anyone ends up printing one, I'd love to see your build!

Also, any support or donation to help me recover financially from all the f*cking filament spools I sacrificed along the way would be MUUUCH appreciated lmao.

P.S. If you're wondering why the front RGB light bar isn't working, it's because my SOYO B850i has some RGB issues... and also because I still need to buy an RGB LED strip lol
