ITX Case Interchangeable Front panel

Wanted to create a themed itx case, but then decided maybe create a modular case which different front panels can be used.

After a lot of research and scanning schematics of ITX motherboard layouts, and (trial and error), I have finally reached a working useable case. There are a few other things that need perfecting , I shall update as I progress.

Things which need improving.

Rear IO panel needs slight adjustment ( adjustment already made but not tested yet)

Mount for 2.5" HDD or SSD.

Fixing method for GPU backplate.

Additional cooling fan mounts (easy enough, just not got around to implementing it).

Assembly

Once printed, it is fairly straight forward to assemble, the button mounting bracket needs to be attached with adhesive ( i used hot glue gun as its is easily removed and cleaned if necessary).

The button I used is on amazon . https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01N5LVMUU/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I used a simple led light strip and stuck it down and applied some hot melt to help it stay down.

Thermals seem to be great with an intel I5 9100f with a GTX1050ti (low profile)

Also tried AMD Ryzen 5 3400g which also performed well.

Neither system thermal throttled during use or any benchmark test I threw at it, although the AMD was approaching 82C when running CPU to 100%.

When using an AMD the stock cooler still doesnt quite fit so I opted for the low profile Notctua cooler.

I would be happy to read any comments or suggestions to improve on this, and would be happy to hear of any remixes.

PS. when printing the front panel I printed in two colours , so I had the printer pause at layer height to swap from transparent to red.
