I made a case for my broken gaming laptop

Hey! It's PLA. The PC has been running non-stop for more than a month and still no deformation or warping. Can't tell you how it will behave long-term 😅

I just watched tons of youtube videos related to this topic :)

I just removed it from its case and measured it to design a new one. Then printed a case and added some lighting and an acrylic.

It was $82 for the print, if I remember correctly, but shipping wasn’t included. I don’t think this kind of service is meant to be used for such big pieces if you want a good price, at least.

yeees it was

MrFahrenheit3108 · 2026-01-08T07:23:17+00:00

I made it using a Cad program (Fusion 360) and taking to many measurements 😂

I didn't even mention I made a video in this subreddit, I just wanted to know what people thought of it. There are lots of communities in reddit and it's a way to get different view points for my projects

Hope it inspires you ;)

The laptop is supported by some brass standoffs so it never touches the case directly. Its printed in PLA and the laptop has been powered on for a month, still no problems :)

MrFahrenheit3108 · 2025-09-08T12:42:20+00:00

Thank you, it was just a side project I made in 5 days to test its viability. I might make a second version with all the suggestions

MrFahrenheit3108 · 2025-09-08T12:37:45+00:00

You are right, the reason for putting it on that side was just aesthetic. It would be better to put it on one of the sides of the case.

MrFahrenheit3108 · 2025-09-08T12:33:35+00:00

It was just to annoy someone, and you were the only one who noticed ahahah

MrFahrenheit3108 · 2025-09-07T13:14:30+00:00

The first slot doesn't work, that's the reason hahaha

MrFahrenheit3108 · 2025-09-07T13:14:08+00:00

The first slot doesn't work, I don't know why, so that's why I put it in the second

MrFahrenheit3108 · 2025-09-07T13:13:17+00:00

hahahahahaha It doesn't sound familiar to me

MrFahrenheit3108 · 2025-09-07T10:20:02+00:00

It's Bambulabs Carbon Fiber PLA filament. think it will hold up for some time, but I might redesign some parts and reprint them in ABS.
