I 3D Printed My Own 5.0L Expandable/Stacking Mini-ITX SFF PC Case
Was looking for a case that would make a great NAS system, but wasn't finding anything SFF. Took what I learned from my open-frame case and made an expandable, stacking case.
Followup video on making new parts: • Customizing Parts For 3D Printed Stacking ...
Had a few goals in mind:
1) Printable on almost everything. This case is 185x185mm so anything with ~200mm bed will work.
2) Printable with no supports. Have done it with all my other cases so why stop now.
3) Able to hold any number of hard drives.
4) Should hold together without fasteners.
5) Stack the case in any order you want.
This case supports:
Mini-ITX MB
SFX-L PSU
Dual-slot GPU up to ~175mm in length (triple-slot cooler will work with riser pieces)
3.5in HDD
2x 2.5in SSD
4x 70mm Fan (or a single 140mm fan)
Any of these can be printed multiple times if you need more than one. No glue needed, though you may want to if you use multiple spacers.
