DAN A4-SFX USB C Mod Clip

thingiverse

This is a modification for the DAN A4-SFX computer case. It's used so that you can replace the USB 3.0 Type A connector with a USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type C connector. I used the Lian-Li PW-IC01NH45 cable (http://bit.ly/2fvjwCV). I had to modify the cable by cutting off the screw holes, as I've shown in one of the images. Once you've unscrewed and removed the Type A connector, place the clip into the existing hole on the inside. Then, slide the Type C cable into the clip, until it reaches the outer panel (see images). The cable fit snugly enough for me that I was able to plug things into it without the cable pushing back out. You could use hot glue or something to secure the cable into the clip if you desire. While this could be printed vertically without support material, the clips could break off easily, as they'd be flexing in the same plane as the layers. I printed mine on it's side, so that the plane of motion was perpendicular to the plane of the layers, making it stronger.
