Fractal Design R5 front panel wood mod

I wanted to do a wood mod for the front panel of my case, the Fractal Design R5, an older but not obsolete case. I already did one mod that would space the stock panel to allow more air for the front fans.

I picked 8x8 mm wood slits on which I based my design.

The Define R5 has an interesting door latch mechanism that permits the original door to be installed on either side, which brings possibilities (I already took advantage of those with the other mod). To cut is short, you can make some tabs that will latch on these hinges. 

The LATCHES AND SPACER HOLDERS stl has the spacers and the said latches.

The CAP x2 stl has the caps. 

For the wood you will need 3 lenghts: 430 mm - 11 slits, 286 mm - 2 slits, 36 mm - 4 slits.

The long one are between the latches, the 286 mm connect the latches, and the 36 mm ones are for top and bottom of latches. I used epoxy to glue the 286 and the 36 to the latch, and the spacer-holder to the latch. 

The long and the small ones don't need to be cut super precise, the caps have 8 mm and will cover the mistakes, but still do your best to cut it close to the dimensions, if you get them too long, they will not fit inside the case though. The most critical is the 286 mm cut because it's between the latches.

The caps do not need glue, they are friction fit.

I also added a f3d project if someone is brave enough to open it, keep in mind that I am a hobbyist.

I printed mine from PCTG with a 0.6 mm at 0.3 layer height, but I believe any hard plastic would do. I would recommend something that it is a bit flexible and doesn't suffer from fatigue.
