I picked up a Midway Vegas PCB a while back and found quickly that it's not really meant to run outside of a cab due to cooling and the multi-part pcb. To solve this I designed a case to hold the PCB and allow cooling fans to be mounted. This should support both Vegas and Durango CPU boards, and both video card types. Details are at the following printables link, though I'd share it here to increase awareness of it. Let me know what you think!

I literally just got online to PM you about this enclosure :D

Really glad to see you shared the design files, it looks great.

Any chance you could share all the panel pieces as combined bodies?

I added a v29 fusion file with a combined body option for the support bridges (and STLs), that's gotta be a huge printer you are using. The cover/base panels themselves (with the hex grids) were designed with a gap between them so joining those bodies would throw off the hole spacing. Hope that helps!

Did you want me to save the whole case as all bodies in one STL -- that seemed to be the default export option in Fusion, but didn't seem too useful when i pulled it into Cura to print, at least unless there wasn't some tool in there to unselect/remove bodies and only select the one you want during slicing. Let me know anything else you need and I'll do my best to help.
 
Thanks man! Though I do have a big printer, I planned to use a laser cutter for the panel pieces. If there are any blind cuts I'll stick the sheet on a router.

Yes, that does help -- I think I can work it out from here. Good to know about the gaps. How much space did you add between them? It looks like I can just cut the "base" pieces from one piece, then cut the hex/decorative covers from individual pieces and it should come out alright.

Pretty sure it’s a 1mm gap between the 3 “cover” and the 3 “base” parts (with the hex patterns). The bridge pieces have no gaps, those were the ones I was able to combine to single bodies.
