3D-Printed Low-Poly Mesh Panel for NZXT H510 Elite – Better Airflow
Enhance your NZXT H510 Elite with a 3D-printed low-poly panel for better airflow and a unique look. Follow this guide to print, and assemble your front panel.
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
- Test Fit – Before gluing, dry-fit all the pieces together to ensure alignment.
- Apply Hot Glue – Once satisfied, glue each piece one at a time for a secure fit.
- 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).
