Some cases support Mean Well LOP-300, ATX, or SFX. Check before printing. - **Heatsink mod required:** Most cases assume you have opened the fin stack on the stock heatsink. See [Cooling Guide](04-cooling-guide.md). - **Nylon washers:** 4x M3 nylon washers under heatsink screws prevent shorting. See [Cooling Guide > CRITICAL](04-cooling-guide.md). - **Filament:** PETG or PETG-CF recommended for heat resistance. PLA may deform near the VRM/backplate area. - **Threaded inserts:** Many designs require M3 heat-set inserts. - **WIP designs:** Some threads are early concepts. Verify availability before starting a print. --- ## Full Catalog For the most comprehensive, searchable catalog of BC-250 case designs (145+ entries with photos, filtering by PSU type, availability, and more), visit: - **elektricM Docs:** [Cases Page](https://elektricm.github.io/amd-bc250-docs/community/cases/) This addendum only covers the most notable / heavily-discussed designs from the community Discord. --- ## Credits All case designs listed here were created by community members and shared freely or commercially.
