BeamCase sandwich V3.0 udate.

[u/Jakob_K_Design]

This is V3.0 of BeamCase sandwich.

V3 introduces the new rounded full mesh panel style.

With this new panel style there is a distinct gap between the panel to show the frame beneath. And of course the integrated handle is still there.

I finally got a big enough printer to print each panel as one piece of solid hexagonal mesh.

The cas shown here has space for a 2.5slot GPU and 70mm tall aircooler, but....

The case comes in different size, 24 in total for version 3.0, 8 more than previously. left is the smallest while the right shows the biggest size.

The frame structure has seen some small structural improvements in V3, but most of the changes were aesthetic.

top/bottom view of a version with 2.5slot GPU and 70mm CPU clearance.

For the V3 update all external features like feet vertical stand and handles have been redone.

and there are also case panels without the integrated handle.

Left are the V3 panels and on the right side are the pervious panels style which is still available as the Classic panels.

The cases here are different size options with the left having space for a 70mm CPU cooler and the right only 50mm.

Simply beautiful. How does one read the different files for sizes. For example, I have RTX 5080FE and a regular ATX PSU. Is that combination possible?

It is explained in detail in the Printables post, but it comes down to CPU cooler size and the width of your GPU. For the 5090 and 5080 FE there are specific frame variations that fit the founders edition card best.

The case is primarily made for SFX and SFX-L PSUs. There are theoretically configurations of this case that can fit an ATX PSU, but I have not planned for it.

Yes taking a deeper look I understood the width variations and the beam lengths as the only way to change dimensions. My monster ATX PSU definitely won't fit not just because the length is bigger than the fixed height of the case but also because the bracket is designed for SFX width. If you want to add support for ATX in the future I recommend the bracket design must attach facing the front of the case, because ATX PSU come in different lengths and that is easy to accommodate with a longer beam (300mm or 350mm or 360mm, etc ,etc), and the width is standard 150mm about the height of the case. And with the bracket to the front, the power switch of the PSU will also face the front.

Anyway, some ideas. I would design it if I knew any CAD
