Description

This is a 3D-printable spacer for the Sliger CX3702 front panel (and any Sliger chassis sharing the same face plate and magnetic-washer mounting system). It allows mounting three 120mm fans, for additional airflow.

Build steps:

  1. Remove the four existing magnetic washers and their 3D-printed standoff/housings from the front panel.

  2. Pull the magnetic washers out carefully — they're reused later, so avoid snapping them.

  3. Install M3 x 30mm standoffs in each location that had a magnet. (I used 20mm and 6mm standoffs stacked, with a longer screw for mine) The cavity only has 30mm between the top of the faceplate's standoff and the top of the hole on the adaptor ring, so plan accordingly if you have long stems on your standoffs.

  4. Press-fit the magnetic washers into the adaptor frame's washer pockets.

  5. Mount the three 120mm fans to the adpator using their included screws.

  6. Route the fan cables to the right of the last drive (left of the power button and USB ports) through the hole leading into the chassis. You'll likely need fan extenders to get to the headers with enough slack to still take off the panel easily.

  7. Mount the frame to the standoffs — the screws pass through the magnetic washers into the standoffs, the same way the factory frame attached. (May need longer screws depending on your standoffs.)

  8. Insert the power button extender into its hole in the adaptor frame.

Hardware used:

Item

Value

Standoffs

(4) M3 x 30mm Standoffs (shorter works with longer screws — see fit note above)

Standoff mounting screws

(4) M3 Phillips head (factory screw, reused)

Fans

(3) 120mm

Fan Extenders

(3) PC fan cable extenders

Fan cables route through the chassis pass-through hole between the last drive bay and the power/USB area — stock fan cables may be too short, so 120mm fan extension cables are recommended.
