    Thanks :grin:

    Now all of the white parts are printed with PETG and i love the pure white color of the filament.

    I ordered orange PETG and TPU (for the legs)

    Raiser cable cover fits nicely

    DSCF0501 (Medium).jpg

    DSCF0504 (Medium).jpg

    I think four of these will hold the two parts together

    DSCF0503 (Medium).jpg

    I added magnet for the side grill for easy access

    DSCF0506 (Medium).jpg

    DSCF0502 (Medium).jpg

    Other side there is now power button hole and pass through for the pump power cable.

    I love these stands, they are perfect for photoshoot.

    I tested the new parts on the case and noticed one design flaw. First time i had older mb and it didnt have backplate so there was room for cables. But this new one has backplate and there is no room.
    So i have to do some re design and print new ones :grin:

    Actually I'd just trim out exactly enough to get the cables to clear, -Say, at a 45 degree angle. It will give a better fit and finish to the final rig and hold the cables perfectly.

    My old rig had 1/2" for cable space. That wasn't enough, so the next one had 3/4" risers... My current build will have 1" risers. :lol:
    -You should understand why I like the hollow box you designed under the motherboard now.

    I think you are right sir :grin:

    i did 45 degree angles for the cables

    I also did version 2 for the back panel. What do you think about this design?

    Here is couple of shots with the gpu. I dont know yet if i want to paint the silver on the gpu little bit darker to match mb or orange.

    every time you post the entire case, I automatically start drooling sir!
    I've also designed and printed an open case design but nowhere near as sexy as yours xD

    Love the new back. :D
    GPU= matching geometric fan grill. :thumb:
    If you want to go the extra mile, you could add risers to the top of the motherboard mounting points, and add a dress cover there as well.

    Sounds like you are going even further than the simple flat plate I was imagining. :lol:

    If there is room i think i am going to do cover with magnets around the mb to hide every cable.

    Here is first design of the mb cover. This will hold on by magnets.
