Great project- makes me want to do similar. I'm curious also- how much RAM does the system have by default, and why not upgrade it to double via the empty slot? Or maybe you since have?

    I found your really great, but just one suggestion whenever you design something, make sure you account for the required tolerances based on the material you will be using that way you won't have to resize it again to fit it properly. In Engineering we follow a standard Design guidelines to account for it, I am pretty sure you find similar guidelines for 3d printing online or in the machine manufacturers website.

    Хорошая работа! Я сам размышлял делать такие кейсы для старых ноутбуков у которых корпус изуродован и сломан. Думаю в следующий раз отверстия для разъемов нужно сделать по шире, а то еле кабели заходят и шатается кнопка включения, а также ввиду того что внешне мат платы не такие красивые по дизайну как у эпл(черные), стоило бы покрасить корпус в однотонный цвет.

    Muito bom. Pq não deixou a bateria, já que serviria como um nobreak para o PC? Fez outro projeto com ela?
