Recommend printing case parts in ASA (to resist the hardware's high temps). PLA or PETG should be avoided and will melt and/or distort.
To assemble ASA parts, prepare a mix of acetone and ASA scraps to make a glue.
You will also need:
- 20 x 5x2mm neodynium magnets (for the fan cover)
- 8 x M3 brass inserts (for the case halves and fan mount)
- 4 x 25mm M3 bolts (for case halves)
- 4 x 8mm M3 bolts (for fan)
- 1 x Noctua 120x25mm PWM fan (or compatible alternative)
- 1 x Noctua NA-FC1 PWM fan controller (or compatible alternative)
- 2 x 120x120mm pvc fan grille (or suitable alternative)
To secure the NVME drives, see this repo for a 3d printable mounting bracket: dxp480t-nvme-bracket
12V and ground for the 120mm fan can be obtained from the motherboard's pogo pin pads that originally connected to the factory case's uderside fans.
To paint, I recommend spraying with a suitable primer before top coating with your chosen top coat. I used Mr. Finishing Surfacer 1500 Black to prime, then Gun Metal from Barbatos Rex' Mecha Empire range of anodized-look lacquers from Splash Paints.
I used an airbrush with a 0.8mm needle to get reasonable coverage over the large case parts.
