Production k_ses: k3.22L ( 4060 LP / HDPLEX 250W GaN )

[k0n]

I had ordered this v1.0 in mid-May, two days after finally getting my hands on a 4060 LP from Gigabyte. With the card in hand, I got a better idea of the dimensions and recognized the potential for a classic (riserless) layout that was smaller than the already existing cases.

Because this required me pushing to the limits sizewise, I was ready for it to fail, so the order was placed for just the base without a cover, and I wanted to wait and see before opening another thread.

Now, after testing for fitment, I decided to 3D print a cover and first use it some time / wait for other feedback before I order even more metal. It would be bad to come up with reasons to do a v1.1 in the weeks waiting for the v1.0 covers

 

[ChinStrap]

wow. this looks great.

 

[Arboreal]

No no no no no!
I so don't need an RTX 4060LP and as there weren't any small cases with direct GPU attachment, I was content with something a lot larger to carry round.
This epic design has messed that right up!

 

[DaHans]

Very nice! I also bought the 4060 LP to see how small it is.
Are you thinking about covering the Fans of the GPU like a grill or something? For transport reasons.

Originally I had planned one big opening for the GPU, but because of the printed solution I was able to dial in the exact position of the fans, and am able to do something else for another card... or perforations for you

Note: this is a 3 part print so you can change them independently but it's also just connected with a simple joint at the edge.

(I'm currently traveling with it: And I just put it with the three fans onto the bottom of my backpack.)

Damn i saw it on reddit, and it was my question
But a 3d printed cover is hella nice for upgradability

I don’t see any cpu cooler height limit listed but i guess 37mm with the hdplex on top ?

I think i'll one of your hand

 

[k0n]

The Arctic Alpine 17 LP that I have is 42,9mm and barely fits underneath the PSU.

I have ordered an AXP90-X53 and will try using it with a 25mm case fan. This would mean NF-A9 (rather than the popular NF-A9x14) and X53 full copper for maximum CPU cooling performance.

 

[DaHans]

Oh. I dind't see that. The case is completely 3D printed?

 

[k0n]

The case is completely 3D printed?

No just the cover (3 parts / 3 sides). The base is 1mm galvanized steel.

Otherwise it would be much weaker and or bigger.

 

[jujudk]

Yeah, the idea is smart !

Kinda surprised a 42mm thick cpu cooler fits, i expected a 37mm

Any idea on cost for the case ?

 

[k0n]

Any idea on cost for the case ?

I'm able to sell the 5 I made for 50€. 60€ with a switch (black with white led ring and 16mm diameter).

- 2 mm 3D printed cover (petg)
- 3D printed fan shroud for a 92mm case fan, which should allow for a AXP90-X53 + 25mm fan
- 1 mm unpainted galvanized steel base

 

[jujudk]

I expected a steeper price !

Definitely taking one in anticipation for m’y next build
I might not need the 3D printed cover for now, as i am unsure what gpu i’am gonna put in here, the base one is for the 4060 lp I reckon ?

 

[k0n]

@jujudk I'm flexible with the prints so I can package both the holes for a 4060LP and a perforated pattern that is in line with the other perforations.

PM/DM me

 

[Arboreal]

@k0n, could the 3D printed cover and fan shroud be made from sheet metal instead?

 

[k0n]

@Arboreal yes definitely.

 

[Arboreal]

@Arboreal yes definitely.

Thank you, that’s good to know

Definitly Pming, i need to find a cheap am4 itx mobo now or go am5, and a LP gpu
