Video Description

So I designed and 3D printed my own custom iTX chassis, powered it with a 16-core laptop CPU, and gave it the cyberpunk flair I crave. In this video, you’ll follow the process from Fusion 360 design to a full RGB-lit PC assembled on my Prusa print farm. Along the way, I’m sharing tips on airflow design, RGB wiring (including WLED setup), fan damping with TPU, and how I got 105+ hours of prints done smartly — not just fast. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mandic Labs 2.0 is supported by: 🔥 Prusa3D – http://www.prusa3d.com/#a_aid=MandicReally 🛠️ PCBWay – https://pcbway.com/g/k66yI7 Check out more MandicReally projects, merch, and ways to support the channel: 🌐 https://www.mandicreally.com/links 🙏 Special thanks to @multiboard_io for supporting the studio as well!: https://than.gs/u/234635?affiliateCode=mandicreally ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 🛒 Featured Products & Recommendations (Affiliate Links): ***  ⁨@minisforumofficial⁩  BD790iX3D: https://s.minisforum.com/4iQUdZm *** BD790i on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3GYs4lM *** Apevia 500W Flex-iTX PSU: https://amzn.to/4kJT7iR ***  ⁨@NoctuaVideos⁩  Redux 120mm Fan: https://amzn.to/44TDD5N *** MegaPad A25Q5 Portable Monitor: https://amzn.to/4lDfGqI *** Ambrosia ASA Filament: https://collabs.shop/ltneu4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 🎥 My Filming Gear (Affiliate Links): Main Camera – https://bhpho.to/3RStTnz Main Lens – https://bhpho.to/4avDFmt Video Recorder – https://bhpho.to/3Oa4qmZ Action Cam – https://bhpho.to/45CS10Q Wide Lens – https://bhpho.to/3RXQXBj Motorized Slider – https://bhpho.to/48YMmnD Studio Mic – https://bhpho.to/4216F1z Voiceover Mic – https://bhpho.to/46uECsE Monopod – https://bhpho.to/3PT2yir Tripod – https://bhpho.to/3PSKXY4 Primary Lighting – https://bhpho.to/3RXSmb3 Accent Lighting – https://bhpho.to/3RXVfsf RGB Lights – https://bhpho.to/3S77IbO Drone – https://bhpho.to/423XrS6 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 🧪 These are my real-world opinions based on hands-on use.
