In this video I am going over the changes between BeamCase Sandwich version 2.1 and version 2.3. The changes are rather minor but can be beneficial especially for 4090 and 4080 founder edition users.
What I forgot to mention is, that there are more sizes available, now with up to 100mm CPU cooler clearance. In total there are 18 versions with different CPU and GPU clearances, six more the previously.
In this Video I am also assembling the largest version of BeamCase Sandwich with 70mm CPU cooler clearance and 72mm GPU clearance and 360mm long Makerbeam XL profiles.
If you are interested in creating your own BeamCase Sandwich you can find the files to print your own for sale on Printables.
www.printables.com/model/8263...
Also a big thanks to everybody who has already purchased the files. The contributions help a lot to further develop BeamCase.

Probably the coolest thing I've seen in a while.

@wipopsuppipat4442 26 дней назад

Extremely cool, thanks for making it available for everyone

Reminds me of the old ncase M1s in a good way, two thumbs up!

@EinMeister Месяц назад

I absolutely love this! I think my next PC build will be built in one of these. Makes me want to buy a 3D printer too.

@Tom-xy7mx Месяц назад

The motherboard I used for my build was a gigabyte B550i aurous pro AX and it has a pretty thick backplate that extends out to the edges of the motherboard so I was not able to install it initially. My solution was to modify the STL's for the motherboard tray and back panel io by extending the 4 plastic standoffs by 2.5mm, and also shifting the mobo IO cutout by the same amount to keep it aligned. It was a bit of trial and error to get the right offset I needed, I printed small washers/spacers from 2 to 4mm to test the height I needed to extended the standoff height by. 4mm is too tall and the IO shield will slightly interfere with the makerbeam extrusions. 3mm seemed good enough but was still a bit too tight of a fit for my liking. 2.5 was just about the perfect amount of extra height I needed. Also one other design you could improve on is slightly alerting the support structure of the motherboard to accommodate motherboards with a back m.2 slot. Mine is almost accessible from the back by removing the GPU but theres a few mm of the support structure that gets in the way. EDIT: Just for reference , the CPU cooler Im using is the ID cooling IS-47-XT, and with my mods I still have about 1-2mm of clearance from the side panels. Its a tight fit but I got it working.

@BeamCase Месяц назад

The support structure for the Motherboard tray has been adjusted in v2.3, but it is difficult to accommodate every motherboard as CPU socket position and M.2 position vary quite a lot between different models.

This is really cool.

@mixedd69 29 дней назад

That looks amazing. Would love to see vertical variant (aka Meshlicious/Meshroom style) in the future. Or maybe ill do it myself

@BeamCase 28 дней назад

The frame is essentially jus a square box and all side are load bearing, so you can just place it onto the front or design a spacer for the back, there are really no limits to the orientation.

@stemmox3221 День назад

I suck at designing things, but to be honest, I'd also love to see a vertical layout, but the IO on the sides instead (only GPU will have bottom IO). It'd also remove the need to have a PSU cable extension inside, which is a part I seem to have difficulty buying.

@levrobb2644 25 дней назад

A cool design idea could be little slots for a leather or some type of custom handle at the top? just two small slits to slide a leather strap through for a more upright approach to a portable case?

@AhmedAyman-ki9cm 11 дней назад

Can you please make a video for the ATX one? A video for it will make it easier for me to assemble mine. love your design man

@BeamCase 10 дней назад

I will definitely do that, I just did not have the time to make it so far.

@hasyidanparamananda Месяц назад

Nice~

@asm2750 26 дней назад

I love your design, any plans to slightly upscale this for mATX boards?

@BeamCase 25 дней назад

A sandwich version with mATX support is not optimal in terms of space usage, so I will keep the sandwich case just for ITX. But I am working on a standard layout case with mATX and ATX mainboard support.

@levrobb2644 Месяц назад

Would the Handle mod work with the AIO bracket extenion? and what is the clearence for the AIO size?

@BeamCase Месяц назад

Theoretically the AIO and handle can work together if you use profiles longer then 300mm. otherwise the tubes of the AIO will most likely collide with the handle bracket. With the standard 300mm long beams AIO size is limited to 240mm radiators, but if you use longer beams and a case version that is wide enough (minimum IFW120), then 280mm radiators can fit as well.

@EatonBacon 26 дней назад

Looking forward to more PC cases 3D printed. There are some cool ones for the ASRock Desk Mini. Like what they did here but not a fan of the milk crate design.

@BeamCase 26 дней назад

The Milk crate look is not for everybody, but it is just because I used grid infill for the vent pattern. It could also be hexagon or any other infill pattern, or circular holes. I just used the Grid pattern, because it prints fast and has a good porosity for airflow.

@EatonBacon 26 дней назад

@@BeamCase Hey a guy cant fault options. And a hex pattern would fit my 3D printed wall storage .... Cool =)

@ywsyildiz 25 дней назад

do you have any plans for fractal ridge like case. rack style cases a bit more space efficient imo. but ofc its not possible to print front side in one piece

@BeamCase 24 дня назад

Not currently. There are several other cases I have on my list to work on, maybe after that but currently a fractal ridge layout is not that interesting to me. I think Fractal did a very good job with the Ridge, and I think a 3d printed version would be less space efficient.

@ywsyildiz 24 дня назад

@@BeamCase got it, i guess problem is profiles. thanks

@levrobb2644 Месяц назад

Do you have a version a 4070 dual OC could fit into? I believe it’s 2 or 2.5 slot

@BeamCase Месяц назад

there are versions all the way up to 3.5 slots. All versions are listing on the Printables site. www.printables.com/model/826374-beamcase-sw-sff-sandwich-case-in-18-different-size

@5q11 Месяц назад

Now a version with 280mm AIO on top!

@matheaumichalak7537 23 дня назад

If I understand correctly, you 3D print this case, it is not sold anywhere, is that correct?

@BeamCase 22 дня назад

Correct it is currently not sold anywhere. I just sell the 3d files for people to print their own. (Though that may change in the future)

@nophase4134 Месяц назад

Is there a version without a gpu? (Would be nice for RDNA 3 based systems) Would love to have a sff case of the BeamCase thats a bit tinier..

@BeamCase Месяц назад

currently all versions have some amount of space for a GPU, though it is very little on some of them. A case without GPU support could most likely be entirely 3d printed and would not require any Aluminum profiles due to the smaller size. I think there are some design by other people for APU builds that are quite good.

@nophase4134 Месяц назад

@@BeamCase Essentially that was my idea, basically get 4x smaller beams and use the 3d printed parts from front/back and sides. But remove the GPU, to leave space for a small 2.5 ssd. Havent really seen good builds besides yours! Thats why i am asking ^^ Would love to create a nuc/mini pc out of this.. (like one half of the current sandwich)

@BeamCase Месяц назад

@@nophase4134 What kind of PSU would you be using in that build? Theoretically the beams can be as short as 180mm, but then the SFX PSU does not fit anymore/it has to be relocated. The case could probably be modified to place the SFX PSU where the GPU would normally be, to create a very short case. (If a flex ATX psu is used, then it could still be fairly thin. There are also quite a few small ITX/Nuc cases available on printables. www.printables.com/search/models?q=itx%20case

@@BeamCase Probably the Plex GaN 250W ATX, or something along those lines. Without a GPU and a decent ryzen am5, not much more is needed!

@@nophase4134 that could probably be mounted instead of the GPU and then space for some 2.5" SSDs next to it.

What size print bed is needed for the largest piece?

@BeamCase Месяц назад

You will need a print bed 195mm long and between 125mm and 175mm wide depending on the selected size.

@ramiad90 Месяц назад

What is the volume of 2.3 version

@BeamCase Месяц назад

There are 18 different configurations, and 6 different sizes, so it depends on what you choose and what your Hardware requirements are.

Where can i buy The makerbeam?

@BeamCase Месяц назад

Depending on where you are located you can buy Makerbeam XL on Amazon. Makerbeam has a reseller list on their website and they also chip internationally (though shipping is quite expensive) www.makerbeam.com/service/disclaimer/
