SSUPD Meshlicious Front Panel Extension

prusaprinters

<p>The Meshlicious is a great ITX case, in no small part because it supports a 280mm radiator mounted to the front panel. &nbsp;Unfortunately, mounting a radiator and fans inside the front panel makes the inside really cramped, and I found it difficult to route the PSU cables (I initially bought the Arctic Liquid Freezer II, and it wouldn't even fit inside - the EK AIO is a much better fit but still not ideal). &nbsp;So, I designed this 25mm front extension that lets you mount the fans on the outside of the case and still snap the front grill on.</p><p>The extension comes in two identical parts, so print the single file twice. &nbsp;As you can see in the pictures, it supports two 140mm fans that are 25mm thick (full size).</p><p>Mounting it to the case requires 4 screws.</p><ul><li>If you have a motherboard with an AMD4 socket, you're in luck, because I designed this extension to reuse the 4 screws holding the AMD mounting brackets to the motherboard backplate. &nbsp;You'll likely have to remove the 4 screws to take out the two brackets when installing your AIO, so you can reuse them to screw into the extension from within the case and secure it (see pictures).</li><li>If you have an Intel motherboard, I believe these screws are 6/32 thread and 10mm long. &nbsp;Feel free to edit the holes in the STL file to fit whatever screws you have available.</li></ul><p>Either way, remove the 6 plastic retaining clips from the front of the case before attaching. &nbsp;You can reuse these and snap them into the extension, or (I recommend) print six of <a href="https://www.printables.com/model/91246-ssupd-meshlicious-clip">RGI's Meshlicious clips</a> and use those (so if you ever want to remove the front extension you can just toss the whole thing without fishing the plastic clips back out).</p><p>The Meshlicious kinda rules, I really like how flexible this case is.
