What if Voron Designed a PC Case?
That’s exactly the question YouTube channel Mandic Labs sought to answer, and the resulting case is now available open source for self sourcing and customization, plus in kit form from creator-driven stores like Fabreeko and West3D.
Despite the space’s relatively youth, there are some iconic looks in desktop 3D printing already. Among them, the Voron 2.x, with its decorative skirting and “tophat” trim, plus colorful accents – all 3D printed and leaning into the 3D printability of the components.
Custom PC building and 3D printing channel Mandic Labs has brought to life a Voron inspired PC case, smashing together two worlds into a project that anyone wanting to show their passion for either can knuckle down and achieve. The design originated in the Discord server for the channel, with credit for the idea going to Donald Sayer.
Mandic’s particular PC build, as walked through in a recent video (embedded below) is an idealized, beefy streaming workstation custom suited to a complex multicam studio set up. That isn’t typical, but as noted repeatedly throughout the video the project, called Voron V.PC, is open source and the designs are freely available for you to customize to the PC components you already have.
Crucial information comes early on in the video, that publicly available reference models for common PC components are not always the most reliable, so expect to take your own measurements as you go if you’re building from scratch.
The project uses frame components common to Voron builds, including aluminum extrusions which provide convenient mounting points for the run of components and braces for wiring looms you’ll be running inside. Most of the other parts are 3D printable on standard size 3D printer beds.
You can shortcut your way to starting with a kit from Fabreeko or West3D, which provide all the necessary parts for the frame. Regardless of whether you self-source or try a kit, you’ll need the files and documentation, which can be found over on Mandic’s Printables page.
