Qubed

[Valgar]

Hello there, I'm proceeding with some small parts like the ssd screw and led lights.

I soldered four strips and placed on corners.

I also printed feet and top/bottom edges.

Hello, some updates about making of Psu bracket. It has three slots: SFX psu, hdmi and dp ports.

This will be used only in case of gpu vertical mount. Some different configuration are work in progress.

Shown top/bottom plates, side profiles and feets painting.

First test, it works.

Installed rubber on feet.

Hi there, due to small plate and too much tilted edges, I had to split the top panel and print with supports. During assembly I reinforced joints with some metal. After that I sanded and painted. 
I placed new perforated grill in the top panel that is attached with the case through little magnetic cylinder on corners for easy removal.
Now the Lil Qube is almost finished, I leave time for some tuning.
It's time to go on with Stream Logic project. Stay tuned.

Little update about Qubed.

Like I said in the beginning of this work, I tried to maintain as much as possible the original features of this case.

User customization is one of the main features that this case could offer and then I decided to leave the possibility to change panels like the original Qube 500.

I decided to paint the side panels in white. The front panel could be changed with the three original spare panels. 

 

Paint stripping because paint has a thickness, and the same accessories should be applied to this panel like on the other ones.

 

 

Holes grinding

 

 

Spray painting

Painting process finished than three main white panels and three original coloured panels.

This options allows to build a full white case or customized with coloured panel.
