Since CaseLabs went out of business in 2018 there has been no availability for any spare parts. Having used a Mercury S8 for almost 10 years I really wanted to add USB type-C ports to the front panel of the case with more modern motherboards that have USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports for front panel I/O.
This part is a full replacement for the front I/O that has the 4x USB Type-A, 2x 3.5mm audio ports, the power switch, and the reset. It adds one USB Type-C above the power switch and one below the reset switch. The model was designed around using two of these parts from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09YRMQT1F/ for the USB type-C ports. But, the scad file can be modified to add or remove any opening as desired.
I printed this on my Prusa MK3.9 using PLA and a 0.20mm layer height but any filament should work fine. You'll want to print the face side down (so the mounting tabs/wings are elevated off the build plate) and use supports for the mounting tabs as it's much easier to remove the supports this way.
It's not a perfect fit, and it doesn't sit totally flush with the case front, but it is functional. I may refine the model further to correct for this in the future, but so far I've been happy with it as is.
