Awesome, love to see the outcome
Yeah, think they only have these in silver and gold. But they could easily be spray painted or plasti-dipped.

Would love to see pics of a black version. I'm thinking about doing 2x 240mm radiators for the 9900k and 2080 Ti. Move the CPU radiator into the top hat and then mount the GPU radiator on the side. Should be a good way to get the heat out properly without high noise levels.
Something like that should be possible with this right? Or is there any collisions between the radiator parts/fans?

Here is what the printer posted for the black large. Ill add more pics when I get my case and tophat.
Wow very nice! Damn that looks smooth, very good quality print it seems. Just make sure to clean up the supports-residue before attaching the panel clips and brackets.
@RockZors & @Nord1ing The model was designed to be flush with the case frame. So if you have any issues with the front-panel not closing or the tophat pops above the top panel, it is probably because of the front-bottom-underside clip. These screw holes come out different on every printer, either just remove the clip or thread new holes slightly closer to the front, like 1-2mm. I adjusted the stl files right after seeing this on my model, so I had to thread new holes. So it could be ok on your prints.

I don't yet made full assembly, I'm still waiting for fan control plate with sata power connector.
Two things i done by now:
- Drilled holes for screws (they wasn't well printed)
- Reduced with sandpaper size of fan frames - they was around 1-1.5mm longer than there spaces on the main frame.

WOW Awesome!!
I gave up on getting this done as every quote I could find remotely local (Australia) they are asking for $200usd plus PER PRINT.
Where did you get this done?
I got it from thingiverse using the treatstock application and chose a vendor in the USA.
Looks like they have some printers down there with some low prices.

You guys think I should have them reprint it? I've never had anything printed. Is something this warped acceptable for a company doing 3d prints?
Or can I use this below to try and fix it? Problem is that the bottom has a lip that I would lose.

Idk about having them reprint it but I gotta say that it looks pretty meh. The black is just so different that I almost don't think it's worth it. It would be really cool if it was an actual metal tophat so it would blend in better.
That would be pretty expensive. What I was going to do was try plastidip this summer to match everything. But I need it to fit first.
