  • LED

  • Centauri Carbon

  • Lid Riser

I wasn't too happy with the fitment of some other risers I've tried. So I made my own.

 

I had the following goals with this build:

  • Precisely fit exactly in the existing lid slot
  • Raise clearance, not lower
  • Allow the lid to easily slide back when I want partial venting
  • Fit 8mm or 10mm LED strips
    • Most 8mm solder-less connectors are about 10mm wide

The two rear supports are designed to be glued on, and will provide a further sliding range for the lid.

 

I've made sure to include the original FreeCAD file if you:

  • Want a taller raise / larger LED strip support
  • Want to print the rear supports connected to the rear legs
    • This will take quite a bit more support material
  • have a printer large enough to print as a single piece.
