Yeah I’m really surprised I got that much karma. It definitely wouldn’t have been possible without all the awesome people I know here at DMS. @PearceDunlap, @Heather_Williamee, @denzuko, @Thomas_Newcomb, @Haley_Moore, and others.

I still can’t get over how cool this picture is for DMS

The first place winner was a Nick Valentine model from Fallout 4 as well. He did an amazing job sculpting a life sized character http://imgur.com/a/KtZaK

Really great work! Have been playing around with some ideas for a custom computer case for awhile but hadn’t thought of trying to 3D print it. Thanks for sharing!

I recommend laser cutting the flat parts to fit the components, the 3D printed parts are really study when screwed into acrylic. For mini-ITX systems, I wanted to minimize their size, most commercially available cases, are still way too big because they have to accommodate ATX power supplies and larger graphics cards and hard drives. I figure I could make my PC be no larger than a lunch box.

To make the smallest possible case, if you have a low power requirement video card, try using this for your power supply:

The SFX form factors are probably the smallest power supply for the power requirements.

But is it a Standard Banana or just some random banana?
