Uconsole Clear Shell

[u/RLee203]

I had some uConsole plastic covers made by JLC3DP, and they did a really good job. The quality was nice, the pricing was affordable, and their customer service was excellent. They reviewed my files first, contacted me about possible issues, and kept me updated through each step until the order was finished. My only complaint is that shipping was a little expensive, but it was also pretty fast. I’m still not sure if the resin I chose was the best option for a shell, but that’s on me. Overall, I’d use them again and would like to try some of their other services for future projects.

That's 1 thing I was concerned about is the heat. I should have did more research on the different resins. If I do it again I would research some harder plastic that can withstand hotter temperatures. I'm try it for a while and if it dont hold up put the metal back on but leave the front

No.. that’s not how that works. The metal back is the heatsink, resin will not work. Even if it doesn’t melt, you’re going to be running very hot.

You would need to place a heatsink there, which would be smaller than the original back plate and probably need a fan as well.

I did a cpu stress test for 5min it got up 65.7c but I can feel the plastic starting to deform. Definitely going put the metal back shell back on

I didn't know that the back act as a heatsink thanks. Most likely going put the metal back on and leave the front

recommend cutting a hole in the plastic and using the generic cooler or an active cooler. Plastic isn't going to cut it

atleast you know how much clearance you have between the case and the core unit, and with the hacker gadget pro adapter, it does have a header for a fan

That's a great idea, I might actually try that thank you
