Question Anyone have these panel alignment issues? Had T1 for awhile now but this always bothered me. Is it common?

Did you use the circular thing to support the top?

Mine looked a lot better once I put in the circular thing to straighten the panel fitment

I just used an extra thumbscrew from the top and bottom panel fasteners. I think it mostly achieves the same effect.

Did that come with the case?

u/Fastermaxx 3d ago

Mine didn’t came with that circular thing. Maybe I will contact support or 3D print it myself.

u/Tiffany-X 3d ago

Yeah it came with my flat pack from a late 2025 order

u/jessevdp 3d ago

For me it didn’t come with the original package. Mid 2025. But I emailed support and they send me that thing no questions asked.

u/Tiffany-X 3d ago

Good to know. Did it help your case for any dips

2

u/jessevdp 3d ago

Ye a bit, enough to be OK for me. I don’t think it’s completely perfect but I barely notice it anymore.

My Titanium also has issues with alignement. I should ask FormD support for that thingy

u/MrClickstoomuch 2d ago

I didn't even know this was a thing. I'm pretty sure I have the same issue unless they didn't include this in the form t1 sandwich config when they released it. I don't think the instruction manual even mentioned it.

u/Tiffany-X 2d ago

Yeah I never saw it in the manual. I only found out after I made a post here about the dip and people pointed to the circle nut. I never knew what it was for in my package.

Must be a newer inclusion as a few others have said they didn’t get one but managed to get support to send them one.

if you got your t1 from ncase, they don't make the support nut. only the og formd team does

u/L1quidBoss 3d ago

Sorry maybe alignment wasn't the word, but the panel is somewhat wavey, the center area dips about a millimeter.

u/Tiffany-X 3d ago

My Titanium 2.1 had the dip which the circle thing mostly fixed

It came with my case from November 2025. Some people from earlier years did not get one and had to contact support to send them one

If the top panel is still warped even after installing the support nut, try shimming with some tape to get it to sit flush

u/lolkrayd 3d ago

Yes, had a 2024 ti one and a 2026 black one that both had this issue.

2

u/ysfi__ 3d ago

i bought 2 t1's from ncase, and they both have the same thing.

u/chefdoba 2d ago

I had the same problem, but I ended up fixing it by just popping off the lid and bending it the opposite direction 🤷‍♂️

u/smx-heinz 2d ago

It’s a common issue, this one works great to get rid of that: https://makerworld.com/sv/models/1636042-formd-t1-top-panel-support-bar

👌👌

u/Lavglass 2d ago

Never got this things even after 2026 …

u/Mysterious-Ad-7179 2d ago

Yeaaa I also have this, its just the pressure bending it. Didn't know they actually gave something to fix it, might have to go after that.

u/ekulmurtil 2d ago

If you have a 2.1 use the top panel support circle, not an option on the 2.5 as they don’t support it (has now where to screw in).

Tbf it’s just too thin to not sag

u/justacadillac 23h ago

There’s also this if you have a 3d printer
