If you’re looking to improve airflow for your NZXT H510 Elite case while adding a custom aesthetic, this 3D-printed low-poly front mesh panel is a great project. I designed a frame and assembled the rest of the pieces using hot glue. Once printed, all the parts fit together like a puzzle for an easy and satisfying build.

Step 1: Printing the Frame Pieces

You’ll need to print the following frame components:

  • Side-L1
  • Side-L2
  • Side-R1
  • Side-R2
  • Top
  • Bottom

Printing Orientation:

  • Ensure the flange is positioned on the top.
  • The magnet holes should be facing downward.

When assembled, the flange should sit flush against the frame of the case.

Step 2: Assembling the Frame

  1. Test Fit – Before gluing, dry-fit all the pieces together to ensure alignment.
  2. Apply Hot Glue – Once satisfied, glue each piece one at a time for a secure fit.
  3. Positioning the Polygon Pieces – The low-poly panels should fit along the flange.

Step 3: Printing the Low-Poly Panels

Next, print the polygonal design pieces labeled P1 - P9.

Printing Orientation:

  • Print with the flange slot facing down.
  • Disable the top and bottom layers in your slicer settings (see below).

  1. Open Bambu Slicer.
  2. Go to the Strength tab.
  3. Set Top Shell Layers and Bottom Shell Layers to 0.
  4. Choose a Sparse Infill Pattern for different mesh designs.
