Anyone have made a 3d printable laptop case. I am looking for .stl file to 3d print laptop case width some modifications.
Hi and welcome
Your ask is a bit vague
Do you want
- An input panel
- A top for the screen
- A chassis for the main body
What do you want it made of and are you intending to fix all the screw inserts etc?
Do you want expansion cards printed?
There’s a lot of bits to think of.
latches for the expansion cards
the hinges
So I am now wonder why you may want this.

What you mean why. Why we need removable parts ?
I need laptop case bottom, top (there keyboard is) and the lcd screen other side. Screen black cover is super thin and i dont think i can create that in 3d printer. The touchpad covers already someone created so there files to download. Aluminum not option for me i want transparent glass look a like case. So will do 3d printing in clear resin for that elements for all laptop case to be transparent as much as possible. I just need 3d files i can improve for thicker resin 3d printing so the case wont be as loose and flexible.
Do you have files you want to share ?

There are going to be significant sacrifices trying to use a 3d printed bottom & input cover. You’ll have to bulk it up quite a bit I think, to get acceptable stiffness. So, thicker & heavier. And clear resins can have problems with brittleness. They also yellow over time.
But you did not ask that.
There are these CAD files
Hope you share pictures of what you create. And welcome to the forum.
