3D printed CARBON FIBER m-itx build
I have wanted to design an extreme sff case and then 3D print it strong enough to function correctly. After getting good enough with Fusion 360 as well as upgrading to a new 3D printer that was capable of printing high-end filaments, I have finally completed the project.
The design allows a tunnel for the cpu to intake cool air from outside the case. It’s fairly airtight. The psu and vents at the top exhaust the hot air. It works well.
Case:
Frame printed in MatterHackers NylonX.
Panels and case screws printed in PLA.
Purchased hardware:
4 - 4 x 1/8” bolts/ nuts
2- M -3/4” bolts/ nuts
1- kayak handle
