Hi!
I was thinking of making custom case for power supply. It currently has one small 6 cm fan which needs high rpm in order to keep it cool. However this makes it noisy. I had a thought that I would 3D print a larger case that have 2x 12cm fans that I would run with low RPM to keep them quiet. I figured that it is easier to 3D print a new case than do it from metal because I dont have tools to make precise cuts, bend it to right angle weld screw mounts and so on.
Would something be wrong if I 3D print plastic case instead? For example is it required to shield from radio waves or something or will it work just as fine in plastic case?
Some screws that connect PCB to case are connected to fault ground. I guess these I just have to wire connect to ground?
Has anyone ever attempted to build a custom case? Any success?
