I looked at a lot of compact 2U PC cases for a build I was planning, and although there are some that have front panels with 4 x 80mm fans, all of those cases were too deep for my current network rack cabinet.

The case that I decided on was only 12" deep and fit my needs perfectly, but he front panel was lacking and I didn't feel like 2 x 80mm fans would be sufficient. I decided to design my own front panel as I've seen a few designs for other rack mount cases on Thingiverse and other websites, just none that fit my case.

This is my first time designing something from scratch, I used OnShape and was really happy how this turned out. All of the screw holes lined up perfectly on my test print. For printing on my printers I had to cut the front panel in half. I thus made the very front of the panel thicker by 5mm so that I could slice it and add have space for a dovetail to align the two halves correctly. I maintained the thickness of the walls of the original bent steel front panel as I did not want to mess with the geometry of the case that much. I also added 2 19mm holes for vandal switches.

I included the step file so it can be modified to your liking if need be (delete the vandal switch holes and add another fan maybe). Printing this in PLA Pro had plenty of rigidity and came out great. Since the panel sits at the front of the case there isn't a concern about heat from the PC affecting it. Thanks for checking this out! I'm looking forward to creating more, I had a lot of fun doing this, being my first time and all :)
