K1 1. Prototype
Finally i finished the first prototyping stage.
I was met with a lot of compatibility issues along the journey, ranging from tolerance-problems, up to simply missing screw holes.
There are still some small twerks to be made, but from the functional standpoint, everything works!

The gray box below is supposed to be a fan module.

I still have to rotate the CPU water block to fit the bulky quick-connect-fitting from alphacool, so i can put the side panel on.

optimal print surface size 180mm x 200mm ; ~70 h

Material used (without side panels): ~ 700 g PLA ~ 16 €
Printer Settings:
- wall thickness: 1.2mm
- top/bottom thickness: 1mm
- infill: 35%
Printing time: 70 h * 300 W ~ 21 kWh * 28ct/kWh ~ 6€

Small Design Revision
Compared to the render from the post before, you may find that the visible screws from the side are missing.
Reason is that those screw holes were too fragile to join the parts securely.
Instead, both top and bottom parts will be glued together.

So to speak the screws will only be visible on top, bottom and back of the case

From the scrapped parts i could easily assemble another case, honestly I am too lazy to modify / process them to fit together.
