HiFive Unmatched Ubuntu Case by jawn-smith

I think the HiFive unmatched deserves an open source case, so I designed one!
I'm running Ubuntu of course so I designed the case with the Ubuntu logo and the RISC-V logo.
I'm pretty new at 3d design, but I wanted to make a case to perfectly fit the unmatched. My goals for the design were:
A good balance of cooling and structure
Modularity. If you don't want a GPU just don't print the GPU part of the case!
Space for a full size GPU. The GPU recommended by HiFive is an RX500 series, which won't fit in a small mini-ITX case.
Printable on small printers. I own a Prusa Mini+ which is a great printer but only has a 180x180x180mm print area
As much 3d printable as possible. Other than a cherry MX switch for the power button and 4 M3 screws needed to mount the standoffs, every part of this case is printable.
Supports are needed for the Ubuntu logo. I also used supports for the fan cutout and the PSU cutout, though they probably weren't needed. Far more detailed instructions for printing can be found on my blog at https://blogjawn.stufftoread.com/hifive-unmatched-case.html
