Lian Li PC-60FN female clip for front panel by electromotive_force

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago

This is a remix of the female part of the clips made by srepmub.
Changes:
I have made tips that grab the male part less aggressive and thinner. This gives them more clearance and makes the fit less tight.
Second, i have made the holders for the pc case slightly shorter. This means the male part does not have to be inserted as deep to get gripped.
Finally, i changed the barbs to be slightly less thick. This makes inserting the clips into the case less tight.
All of these modifications have been necessary for a proper fit into my Lian Li PC-60FNWX. Please note that this part is not a perfect copy of the original part by Lian Li but a slightly better fitting one. This is mostly due to the shorter insertion distance.
2019-01-12 Update:
The original pieces wore out and lost their spring tension, leaving the front panel unsecured. For the next attempt i have reduced the depth even further and i have made the barbs slightly more aggressive. The model has also been somewhat cleaned up.
Now, the clips feel excellent to use. The panel snaps on easily and is held in place quite vigorously. Time will tell if the new design also wears out over time.
