Mikkel's 400mm Rat Rig V-Core 3 (Outdated)

(Abandoned, but published for posterity)
This is my design for the V-Core 3, it is still a work in progress but most things are running on my V-Core 3. I'll list the parts i'm still working on below. You'll have to import the step file in your favorite CAD software and export the stuff you need (or modify it if you want).

Parts needed

M3 heated inserts (the nice ones.. 5.7mm length, shorter will work too)

A bunch of M3x8's

A bunch of M6x10 for the panels

A bunch of 3030 M6 T-Nuts

8 x M5x8 and Hex Nuts for the horizontal cable spines (see hex nut spine STL, the horizontal ones in the .step are the wrong type (sorry)).

4 x M5x10 and 3030 M5 T-Nuts for the vertical spines.

5V 6A (30W) PSU: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33042313383.html

(Optional) 30mm Rubber grommets (b-size): https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001047931047.html

Work in progress

Bottom Plate + RGB Logo

Top lid

Filtered (or unfiltered) recirculation duct, not yet tested, might interfere with back motor cage (have several fixes in mind, my backplate is cut so it's gonna have to work), will not do anything useful without a full enclosure.

Front panel

Annoyances that i'll hopefully get to soon

Electronics placement, the PSU's are too close to the bottom of their case, the PI is too close to the side of its case which makes it impossible to swap SD cards without unscrewing it from it's base.
There should be guides and screw head indentations for mounting the LSR-350-24v.

Still untested but in production

Side panels + IEC mount and hexagon highlight parts.
Bottom feet. Honestly i don't know if these are worth printing, the stock ones are pretty great, although not as pretty :)
