3D model description

Easy to print and customize case for power-supplys and mainboards of all kinds.
For 120mm fan and power-connector switch in the back.

Mainboard-Frame in the model was built for Anet-A8 mainboard and MKS Gen 1.4 (tested with both).
Additionally two Mosfets (https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07BJZRSCP) can be mounted to the frame side.
Display frame for 12864 LCD.
There are two additional holes with a diameter of around 20mm in the display frame for two switches (light and fan in my case).
Top, bottom and sides consist of two parts, as my build plate is only 22x22cm.

Screws and Nuts are M4. You need to make sure the screws are not too long (6-8mm thread length should work fine) as otherwise they will touch in the cubes used for fixing the sides of the case. I used some hot glue to fix the nuts in the cubes to make sure they dont fall out when opening the case top or side.

I didn't really think about where to put the usb-cable when building the case. So I just drilled a hole at the side of the top cover. Alternatively you could use a longer cable and put it with the other cables at the back of the case.

Use the freecad file to extract the individual parts for printing.
The full_case.stl is only for the overview on thingiverse.

If you have any questions feel free to comment.

I know the green is not very beautiful - but it was the only filament i had left at the time i printed the case.
