KUBIC is a Nintendo-themed Mini-ITX case you can 3D Print
July 15, 2024

KUBIC is a 3D Printable Mini-ITX case created by instructables user WhoisLudwig.

The KUBIC is a cube-shaped enclosure with a convenient carry handle, and has been designed to accomodate a very short depth (up to 220mm) graphics card plugged directly into the motherboard, an SFX power supply, a 140mm cooling fan and a socket Mini-ITX board with a generously sized CPU heatsink. The exhaust route is from bottom to top and was enough to keep Ludwig's CPU and GPU at a steady 75°C in a 2 hour stress test.

Construction is from 34 different parts all no larger than 170x170mm, meaning smaller 3D printers can be used. In addition to the printed components, a variety of hex screws, standoffs, brass inserts and momentary switches are required - all listed in the instructables recipe, and printables files.

The Nintendo-themed colouring has been achieved with about 1.5Kg of filament in Black, Wine Red, Light Grey and Dark Grey PLA, though PETG could also be used.
