Thank you for making the files free

[@SquintyGears]

The most interesting things are all the design tricks.

[@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.

[@LordKaladar]

I have zero experience with 3d printing, but this looks very well done! Something very simple and functional that looks nice!

[@FragEightyfive]

More cases please!

[@arkatub]

I was only thinking of doing the one, it's as optimised as I can think, I'm using it for my own computer, I may do another 1 or 2 videos when I make refinements, but my plans are to make other designs, not just PC cases.

[@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.

[@Roobotics]

2:00 this is actually very clever for large islanded objects with clearance to spare, tons of time saved on movements, less motion system wear, and better surface finishes. not many downsides if it's not high up on the model(thermal shifting could occur if you let the 2nd areas 'base' region cool down too much before putting filament there.)

[@tannerdudeman]

This is awesome! this may become a part of my rolling TV streaming station project for my workshop as I want to replace my streaming laptop eventually for something much easier to do maintenance on. I will definitely print this in ASA for the extra thermal headroom.

[@arkatub]

Please let me know if you can do the sleeve without warping, I tried ASA once but it didn't seem to be any easier then ABS.

[@coopeeeee]

this is so badass bro thank you

[@jasongooden917]

You really have that Ender 3 dialed in

[@arkatub]

Thanks, it has silent mainboard, noctua fans, glass bed and plated copper nozzle.

[@dugannagud6254]

Thank you

6:49 Yikes, you need to pre-tin and flood the wires before doing that, also flux!! Look for FPV xt60 soldering. Also, I'd add some hot glue for some strain relief/prevent shorts.

[@pioj]

Good Job. I wouldn't print the case on Y axis, it will break at any fall. Also, you should always use flux before soldering as it improves the melting a lot.

The content on your channel is very interesting . Does your channel open for sponsorship ? and May I know your emial address ?

[@arkatub]

Seems a bit early for it but I added my email to the channel info.

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.

[@FrodeBergetonNilsen]

@@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.

[@7MBoosted]

​@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
