Old Title: KIBO K1 DIY Clean Minimal 3D Print Optimized Case


Alternate Title: Minimal Clean Look 3D Print optimized 10.7 L Case


Thanks for looking into my newbie post here!

K2 Concept with lighting and acrylic sidepanels


This will mainly be a DIY Project as for now

The primary production process would be 3D Printing / CNC


I am planning this Project as a design series:

K1   Sandwich-SFF-Case ~10L

K2   Sandwich-Showcase ~15L

K3   Sandwich-Space-optimized <9L


For the near future I plan on putting together "hardware kits"(Screws and acrylic panels) and STL-files

Introduction

With the 3D printing community growing in size and Printers getting more affordable,

I have seen many Case Projects aiming for modularity and space efficiency.

What was missing for me were clean designs with clean Surfaces and full length GPU support.

I am not saying, that my design will be flawless.


I am aiming for the following design features:

- lightweightness (<1kg)

- modularity in the sense of mobility (hotswap modules, fan & filter modules)

- standardization of core elements for future modding

K2 Concept Fan-module 


What „3D Print Optimized“ means:

- Support-structure used sparingly (edited)

- Printable with most FDM-Printers (minimum Printsurface: 200x200mm)


With my Goals set up, I went to the drawing board and started the design process.

K1 9.8


The following are the features of my current K1 2. iteration, I am most proud of:


- Printable with most FDM-Printers (minimum Printsurface: 200x150mm)

- full size 2 Slot GPU (max 140x64x300mm)

- fits the most of the 240mm Radiators regardless of thickness (max width & length 124x282)


- Size: 145x315x215mm ~9.8L

- with these measurements it would fit perfectly into my Muji magazine organizer for a much cleaner look

List of materials:

- <1kg Filament

- 40 M3x6 + 40 M3x10 + 40 M3x20 countersunk screws

- optional acrylic sidepanels (2x 290x190x3mm) save 110g Filament per panel

Note: tempered glass is too expensive for a small volume Run, but u can find scratch resistent acrylic panels
