Carefull using PLA. PC components can get HOT and potentialy melt the PLA.

Other then that. It looks very good and clean. Do you happen to share the stls?

I’ve also had problems with PLA prints delaminating and becoming brittle over time, especially if it’s being flexed or exposed to sunlight. Some PLA’s are worse than others with this, though.

I use PETG for anything I want to last a long time.

I was also worried about that, but for this PC its only sun that can melt it haha. But yeah it would be better to print with petg or abs Cpu temp never goes above 45C lol. Usually at 35 and case fans are not even spinning. Also mbo is “raised” 10 mm from back wall if that make sense.
