Meshlicious QDC backplate with labeled in/out (plus panel passthrough for aviator connector)

Edit: 2022-03-28:

Created a v2 that's a bit thicker and has an additional passthrough for a GX16 connector. It turns out this last connector is actually in the way of the PCIe horizontal bar, and should be raised about 10-15mm or so before printing, unless you want to just cut that bar out like I did.

Edit 2022-01-30:

First print went decently well, won't be able to test it for a bit until the actual MO-RA3 and other parts arrive on shipment. Photo has been added where you can seen that the corners lifted a bit during the print, but that's more because there was some temperature fluctuation in my home during the print time itself, not because of poor design of the model. I just didn't have consistent temps and the problem would be resolved if I did or if I used something like a brim for the print. Also just colored in the lettering with Sharpie to make it pop a bit more.

Remixed this from IroesStrongarm's version to offset the QDC holes, widen them a bit so that you can use any panel or bulkhead fittings without needing to thread them into the print, added text for the inlet and outlet which I thought was kinda helpful/neat for QDC usecases, and also added a hole for an additional aviator connector mount.

I intend to use this with a MO-RA3 external radiator, so I wanted a clean way to pass Molex power for the pump and PWM signal for the fans out of the case and I found this suggestion from another Reddit user. He just drilled a hole in his case, but I figured I could 3D print something so I didn't need to make permanent modifications.

As IroesStrongarm mentions in his post, the bottom holes may be a bit lower than they need to be, and he used them with heat pressed M3 inserts. I'm posting this prior to actually printing it just as a way to save my thought process, but I may fix/adjust the hole spacing once I do, and then I will update the files here accordingly.
