Introduction: LilCubey - a 3d Printable MATX Acrylic Cube Pc Case

About: 3d printed pc cases are cool.

This is a nice-looking, 3d printable pc case designed to stand out. The sharp corners and plexiglas give it a modern, futuristic and eye-catching appearance. Another great thing about the design is it only need a 180 x 180mm bed to be printed.


The airflow is also designed optimaly where the gpu and cpu manage to stay cool even on the most intense benchmarks.


Pc case features:

310mm GPU

205mm CPU Cooler / Single fan AIO

5 x 120mm Fans

SFX PSU

MicroATX/MiniITX
