Project: Node (Scratch Build)

Complx

Hi all, I know its been awhile since I have been active on here, but to make up for it, I'm going to share my latest project.  I have been working on this for the past few weeks and have finally gotten to the build phase of the project, which I will be sharing with you shortly.  But for now, here is the initial concept and design.
 
I wanted to do something simple and minimalist using some fun equipment that I had at my disposal, one of which was a 3D printer.  So I decided to design a case using just 3D printed and laser cut acrylic parts.
 
I am actually designing this for a friend of mine and he had a certain look he wanted to go for, he REALLY like the In-Win 904 case with that giant window on the side, so I did something similar, just out of 3D printed parts.

Another feature I wanted to accomplish with this was a very clean looking motherboard tray with no visible holes for cable routing.  To do this, all the parts are on standoffs and the wires will be routed behind their respective parts to the back panel.
 
Currently the 3D printed parts are being printed and I should have them sometime next week, I will be ordering the laser cut parts as well next week.
 
If anyone has any questions or comments, feel free to ask.
 
Thanks for viewing!

That is freaking awesome. I can't wait to see more of this! The way everything is mounted in the 3D model is perfect IMO.

No cable routing holes?

 

Cables will be routed behind motherboard.  He said that in his post.

What sort of 3D printing/material are you going to use?

Looks great man. Can I make a small suggestion though?

You guys are crazy. You know you guys are self-destructive. There's a funny farm somewhere and it's got your names written all over it. But I'm gettin' outta here.

Cables will be routed behind motherboard.  He said that in his post.

I know he said that but unless he has tall standoffs, that will be putting quite a bit of pressure on the motherboard

I would at least try something like this PSUPLATES_zpsa04abf32.jpg

Yep the motherboad will be on some tall standoffs, in order to compensate for the cables, but your idea is also very interesting.  If things don't pan out well with the way I have invisioned it, I might give yours a shot, thanks!

Plenty of builds have done this in the past.  The TJ07 comes with long enough standoffs from the factory.  It's pretty common.

I'm not going to take credit for another persons work, the

person that modeled this is a member on this forum.  

His name is scatology

Thanks for informing me, ill make sure to do some research.

 However I haven't seen any build using long standoffs

The rendering scenes look very similar to some in Creo, but he could be using anything.

  • 2 weeks later...

Hi guys, for those of you waiting on the update, here's what happened, the printer messed up the part pretty bad...so they offered to re-print it, but they had to put it on the back burner due to more pressing projects they have to get done.  (Im getting this done for free since I know some of the people there) I got a call this morning saying it was finished, so I hope to have some photos up tonight.
