1. This one is designed to accommodate wider ssd enclosures

   Fanless enclosures by Qwiizilab, Electronica 4u etc. are ca 24 mm wide.

   Previous case was not wide enough to support them. This one can support one such enclosure. Adding 2 would not be wise in confined space. With single one attached thermals are ok. My gaming tests gets about 52-54 deg. disc temp. In normal usage it is ca 48-49 degrees.

    

2. New power button

    

   As You can see power button has proper symbol and it is printed in place with main frame. 

    

3. Internal dust filter and air flow separator

    

   Inside main frame You'll find cage for dust filter. You can cut strip from dust filter mesh or simply print one provided in files. Cage also separates air intake from exhaust. 

    

4. Logo is added as a modifier. 

    

   By default it has print lines perpendicular to the rest of a frame or cover. Thx to different anisothropy it gives subtle and elegant effect.

    

   You can click on modifier and remove it, change filament color or with a right click You can change it to negative part to get boolean cut.

If You have any questions or wishes let me know.

Happy printing!
