3D Printing Idea

[TheKDub]

I think it would be pretty awesome if someone printed some motherboard "armor" like on the asus rog maximus vii formula

, I'm sure it wouldn't be terribly easy to get all the measurements correct for it, but it would be pretty awesome if someone did it.

 

Anyone here know of someone who has done this before? or have done it themselves?

If so, how well did it work?

Totally serious here. I might try this. Would be a good way to spend the weekend.

If you do, send me pics of the final product!!

 

 

I'm really tempted to do this because there are pretty much no z97 mobos out there that are black and blue, and come with motherboard "armor" on them

I have a sabertooth with armor. The interesting part is 3-d printers usually can't print that big

Perhaps break the armor up into a couple different parts that sort of "snap" together, then add glue to the spots where they connect to ensure that it stays together, and paint it?

I think that it would work pretty well, might require a little sanding to smooth down the spots where it connects if you don't get it perfect, but other than that I'd guess it would look pretty good.

there are allot out there that are a suitable size like mine. My 3d printer has a 11" diameter build plate with 15" of vertical room

Hmm, wonder how well that would work considering standard atx is about 12x9.6"
