I love my PS5 but I haaaate the way it looks so I'd like to be able to take the guts and fan out of it and pop it in to a simple, elegant, 3D printed case...do these exist?

Failing that I would be happy to build one out of wood if there were some kind of template for the ports etc...has anyone done this? Do you have a link to pics of your project?

There must be something that can be done to make the PS5 less offensive to look at, I've tried but even so, my attempts are not enough to make me hate it less, I've attached a pic of what mine looks like now (except I've rounded off the popped colar now, this is an older pic) hope it works.

I've seen the DIY Perks project and that's nice and all but it's a bit 'CEOs office' for my liking.

As for my PS5, I have an orange LED behind the PS logo and I attached EL wire along the sides of the front panel that lights up orange to match the paint job, these were wired to the USB power on the inside so I had to disable USB power in rest mode so that they turn off when not in use.

with how tall and wide the ps5 is its probably not doable on most 3d printers. but there are commercial services that might print it for you.

That was the idea, I don't have a printer but I'd pay to have it done, I'm not particularly handy so I wouldn't have much confidence in building something myself what with it needing to be very accurate to line up all the ports
