Project Description<\/h3>\n

Computer Case that is distinct from anything on the market:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u2605 designed geometrically as an icosahedron<\/p>\n

\u2605 resembles an art installation<\/p>\n

\u2605 fully inter-changeable triangular faces<\/p>\n

\u2605 most faces fitted with 92mm fan mounts for high-capacity ventilation potential<\/p>\n

\u2605 faces connected by custom pentagonal joints<\/p>\n

\u2605 motherboard and PSU fully showcased through transparent acrylic<\/p>\n

\u2605 can be assembled multiple ways with nothing but a few screwdrivers and allen wrenches, glue and no other special equipment<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Designed for PC enthusiasts and eccentrics in particular.[\/vc_column_text][vc_zigzag el_border_width=”8″ css=”.vc_custom_1613275783116{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

The only parts which were purchased were the screws, nuts and raw materials. All other parts were fabricated in the Maker Lab by our AI Emmanuel. We did all our designing in a shared Fusion360 folder.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

These parts were laser cut:<\/p>\n

\u27a2 Equilateral Triangular Faces: 10.5 in<\/p>\n

\u27a2 Secondary Platform: 7.48 x 7.48 in<\/p>\n

\u27a2 Solid State Drive (SSD): 3.95 x 2.75 in<\/p>\n

\u27a2 Main Platform: 18.381 x 11.169 in<\/p>\n

Supports ATX (12 x 9.6 in) and mATX (9.6 x 9.6 in)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

These parts were 3D-printed:<\/p>\n

\u27a2 Joints that connect face-plates<\/p>\n

\u27a2 Special joints that support main platform<\/p>\n

\u27a2 Special ridges that support secondary platform<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
