Thank you for making the files free

[@DiyintheGhetto]

Thank you for sharing the pc case designs with us. They look awesome and I can't wait to print the case myself soon.

[@mikechu01]

this is pretty sweet. love how you deigned it for vase mode, I think I just saw Slant3d talking about that in his blocks design - very clever to use it here as well.

[@coopeeeee]

this is so badass bro thank you

No one should print a PC case using PLA.

[@candycornpeeps]

There are a couple of other youtubers who have done it and been fine. I personally wouldn't.

@@candycornpeeps Who? If you defend PLA for this use, leave the printing business. If you do, you do not belong there. Do not put others at serious risk.

​@FrodeBergetonNilsen out if curiosity, as I do not print and have minimal material science knowledge, why is it dangerous to have a PC case made of PLA? What I do know is old types of PLA are prone to warping under high heat, but that is at over 150°F which I wouldn't expect the plastic itself to reach when used as a PC case. Another thought I had was that it is conductive in some way, but also under the impression that most plastics are not electrically conductive. So why is it dangerous, honestly, not trolling?

[@FrodeBergetonNilsen]

@@7MBoosted ALL types of PLA is prone to warping at about 50C. If not, it isn't PLA, just called that. Every time some tests these so called "high temp" PLAs, they are not temperature resistant. When you start figuring out what the "modern" PLAs are, then you realize that they are composites. With that our of the way, the use of PLA is dangerous because of the malleability of the material. Under any form of stress, like gravity, it deforms over time, or no time at all. There have been plenty of reports of motherboards sagging and the like. Or heatsink ducts simply melting. PLA melt if exposed to direct sunlight. Give it some thought. What could happen to a computer if the case turns into liquid? Seriously. Because that is how dumb this question is. Your claim of 150F is flat out false. For PLA it is. You probably also need to get up to speed of where the heat is at, in a computer. Some components gets really hot, like VRM. For a ITX build, that kind of is an historic problem. Even ASA and ABS starts to soften at 120C, which some b450 ITX boards were operating at. So stop the trolling. Go home. Stop lying about the properties of PLA. The properties of a material does not change over time and do not go "modern". Stop flat out lying. Be responsible. Don not pretend that something that is a proven hazard to be safe, and us who warns about it is trolling. Because that is abusive. For the record, ASA and ABS produces toxic gases when burning. They do not solve the problems of this world. Not to mention, that PLA is using food as their raw material, in a world struggling to feed its population. So go on, with YOUR trolling. Or grow up.

@@7MBoosted i really don't think it is dangerous but PLA would probablu deform ABS/ASA would be a better choice Maybe PETG would work but i would go ABS/ASA
