As anyone who has tried to change the PCIe riser cable that comes with the Quadstellar case knows, the standoffs in the case are in unusual positions. This means typical riser cables can't be screwed into them, since the distance between each standoff is too wide.
But not anymore! Thanks to this nifty adapter I've made! Simply slide it overtop of the standoffs (it's a tight fit, you'll probably need to drill the standoff holes to make them smoother) and put a screw into the standoff closest to the rear of the case! Now it's ready for you to install your riser cable, using the rear standoff and the small hole next to the front stand off!
A bonus benefit of this adapter is it provides a LOT more support for the riser cable when inserting a GPU. LINKUP riser cables in particular bend a disturbingly large amount, but now there's no need to worry!
It's sized for the LINKUP PCIe 4.0 riser cable, though I suspect other brands will work too. The design is inspired by the PCIe slot covers on the Quadstellar, but the main benefit of the design is it dramatically lowers the print time and the amount of filament used!
