The file 'HTPC – PfSense Mini-ITX Case: PicoPSU & PCI-E & SATA SSD 3D Printer Model' is (step,stl) file type, size is 324.5KB.

Summary

Small factor, clean design with nice extras thought for a pfsense machine:

  • 12mm through-hole power button support
  • picoPSU DC jack support
  • SATA SSD support
  • PCI-E 4 nics ethernet support (LOW PROFILE ONLY)
  • Optimal airflow (top, front and back air grids)
  • Clearance for low power embedded CPUs like J1900, J3455, j4105, etc..

You will need:

  • n.8 m3(d)x4(h)x5(D) brass inserts (4 for the lid, 4 for the mainboard standoffs);
    You can superglue or hot melt them in the case
  • n.12 m3x10 screws (as above but 4 more for the SATA SSD)
  • superglue for assembling the inlay

The hole for the power button is 12mm. The hole for the picoPSU DC jack is 8mm (standard).

N.B.

  • The case.stl is a massive print. Mine took almost 48h.
  • Ender 3 bed size (235mmx235mm) is enough but be sure to have the right XY offsets configured otherwise you will not be able to print it.
  • Print largest face flat
  • Supports: above 46% (no supports on frontal grid holes and lid stands)
  • Be aware that the case could warp on a poorly sticking surface. Use hot first layer tool and bed temp and use brim for better adhesion.
  • Be gentle when inserting the io shield since one side of its support is quite fragile
