**Key features:**
6 slide-in Latching Quick-Swap Hard Drive bays (3.5" HDDs up to 1 inch thick)
3 Additional 2.5" SSDs (System drive + dual cache SSD)
Full height single-slot PCIe card support (SATA card, Slim video card, Network card etc.)
Magnetic front-panel for super quick front access to the drives and cables.
Mini ITX Motherboard
SFX or SFX-L power supply
3.5" to 2.5" drive adapters available for main bay.

**Print volume required: **
210 x 210mm

**Case size:**
H: 341mm, W: 210mm, L: 217mm

**Materials/components required to build this case:**
31x M3 threaded inserts
31x M3x10mm machine screws
8x   8x3mm Neodymium magnets
1x   PC Screw kit (for standoffs + HDD mounts)

**PC Components required/recommended:**
Mini ITX Motherboard / NAS Motherboard (ITX form factor)
SFX or SFX-L Power supply
Single slot PCIe expansion card of your choice. (optional)
2x Slim 92mm PC fans (up to 22mm thick)
3.5" HDDs (Up to 6x)
2.5" SSDs (Up to 3x)
SATA power and SATA cables with 90 degree connectors (due to limited clearance)
12mm Power Button

**Designed with easy, clean cable management in mind. **

90 degree, flat/flexible SATA cables are recommended due to limited clearance to the front panel. The picture/layout shown above and in the video uses 3x 50 cm cables, and 5x 30 cm cables. One more cable is also required if you are using the last SSD drive mounted at the top of the case. (see video for reference)

Cable lengths stated above are just guidelines based on a similar setup to the one shown, and requirements may vary depending on your choice of parts.

**PRINTING INSTRUCTIONS:**
Minimum print volume required: 210 x 210mm
Recommended material: PETG, but ABS or ASA also works.
Recommended layer height: 0.2mm
Print speed: Not important, whatever is recommended for your printer.
Recommended wall thickness: >2mm (5 walls at 0.4mm width)
 
* All external panels (front,side,top,bottom,rear) are printed using only walls and infill (15-25% density). 

* All internal panels like the hard drive bay, motherboard mount and hard drive mounts should be printed normally with both top and bottom layers.

* All parts except for the top of the drive-bay are printed without supports. The one file that does need supports is clearly marked with the word “SUPPORT” in the file name. (Use custom painted supports just under the overhangs if you can, otherwise the threaded insert holes may be filled with supports that are difficult to remove)
