Corsair Carbide 175R custom front - lower temps!

The original front cover of the Corsair Carbide 175R has very restricted airflow, causing high component temperatures.

That's why I decided to design and print this custom cover!

Features:

• Perfect fit
• Improved airflow
• Lower temperatures
• Mesh dust filter
• Fairly easy print (see below)

Printing instructions cover:

• Print profile contains 3 build plates:
  • Top part
  • Bottom part
  • 2 triangular connectors
• Use PETG or ABS for cover parts
  • PLA not recommended
• Ensure clean bed, high enough bed temperature and avoid drafts
  • Parts are large and could warp
  • I had a tiny bit of warping at the corners with a textured PEI plate @ 75C
• Print profile is optimised and tested

Printing instructions dust filter:

• Print profile contains 2 build plates:
  • Top filter
  • Bottom filter
• I used PLA, other materials should work fine as well
• Print profile is optimised and tested

Assembly:

• Insert connectors in the triangular holes on either half of the cover
• Attach the other half, some force might be required
• Attach the dust filters using the round holes
  • There is a slight difference between both filters
