Ibex Custom White Build
Core Ultra 9

This build started with a be quiet! Light Base 500 LX case and a 3D printer. The printed parts cover the openings the case leaves exposed and hide the cables, so the inside looks clean.

Top of the case

Radiator Cover

The panel above the 360 mm radiator comes in two pieces, one along the side and one across the front, held together by magnets instead of screws. The long face carries the lettering of every brand in the build, and the front face has a faint circuit pattern.

Same part, front face

Circuit pattern

The front has no lettering, only a circuit trace a few tenths of a millimetre deep. You only see it when the interior lighting falls across it at an angle. The two halves meet in the corner, and the magnets hold them there.

Side

Side Fan Cover

Covers the side fan bank behind the glass. Prints as two pieces that join in the middle. The carbon texture is drawn into the model rather than applied as a film, so it comes out of the printer in whatever colour you feed it. Six reverse-blade fans sit behind it.

Floor

Bottom Plate

This part took the longest: five months and several revisions. The current version has no mounting holes at all, so nothing interrupts the surface. You can tell it apart by the small tab at the top right.

Behind the board

Mainboard Side Cover

The Light Base 500 leaves oversized cable pass-throughs open next to the board. This panel closes them. It mounts under the mainboard on standoffs.
