That probably would be more expensive then buying a case.

CPU: Intel i7 - 5820k @ 4.5GHz, Cooler: Corsair H80i, Motherboard: MSI X99S Gaming 7, RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB DDR4 2666MHz CL16,

GPU: ASUS GTX 980 Strix, Case: Corsair 900D, PSU: Corsair AX860i 860W, Keyboard: Logitech G19, Mouse: Corsair M95, Storage: Intel 730 Series 480GB SSD, WD 1.5TB Black

Display: BenQ XL2730Z 2560x1440 144Hz

PLA isn't that expensive

But do to the FDM process you will need sh!t tons of it to make a reasonably strong case. Not only that if you screw up with your CAD file you're going to have to start over again wasting whatever material you have already committed to the failed print. Also there is just plain bad luck with the printer screwing up.

The only way around this would be to print parts that are then combined afterwards, but it would leave weak points in the chassis after the build.

whats that flexible fillament from maker-bot? (they should print LMG phone cases with that, since they have knowitalldoitall google sketchup expert taran aboard they should be able to print cases for phones like the octagonal super-smart-pocketputer 9000 that denis is using) /s

 

 

 

a pc case made from pla wil colapse in on itsself and catch fire after a while due to pla`s low melting temperature.

For the people mentioning it, according to the video Linus's personal rig case will NOT be 3D printed; it's going to be manufactured of the same materials and using the same basic techniques as a normal case, just custom made.

If your case gets 60c hot you are doing it wrong anyway

ABS is what they would use and its cheaper/ more durable.

A 3D printed part in PLA is MUCH stronger than a part printed in ABS. This is because PLA has much stronger layer bonding than ABS.

          I am talking about the durability, although your article did say molded abs was stronger xD. So since pla isn't flexible it would just shatter. If Linus was to make a 3D printed case he would use abs because its way easier to work with and more durable. Fun having a 3D printer discussion, we need a subform.

Bronze filmant is a thing.. Probably durable enough for this Idea.

Sorry didn't mean to hit post :P, so copper/brass filament is also a thing but they are far to expensive for a large project like this.

But like I was saying DURABILITY.

PLA is very durable

With intricate things it chips but don't get me wrong for a lot of things I use PLA. If Linus was to make a 3D printed case he would use abs it is more durable, for me easier to work with, and it is cheaper.

this getting tiresome to hear.  3d printing doesnt mean you can make something to use in everyday life.  the technology was developed to allow engineers rapidly produce parts to test or show.  you cant blindly replace one material with another. there is a reason why metal has been used for computer cases for the last 4 decades or so.

 

with that said, there are new techs coming out that can build stuff with everyday durabilty but no youtuber had access to one.

 

please remember right tool for the right job, this printing a pc case is not a right tool for your intended use.
