got a picture so we have an idea of what part we are looking at ?

Something like this, dunno if it’s the exact same. One of the inner plastic surfaces has broken off.

Well .. being an Aussie I would hit that with Liquid Nails and then gclamp the front panel in place till it dried.

You are not removing the front panel from the case again after tho. Liquid nails as the name suggests does exactly what you think it would do 🤣, you can glue iron sheeting to the walls and roof with it and itll stay put and be nearly impossible to remove once its cured.

Yeah that is problematic as I don’t intend to do something that makes me unable to take it apart ever again. I know myself, eventually I’m going to want to change things up.

You could just glue the clip back onto the panel, I doubt it'll ever be as strong as it was originally but if I wanted to remove it again then I would do that first, liquid nails (Don't know what they call it outside of Australia) is pretty damn strong when it dries so it might be ok if you dont mess with it too often.

Are those Lian Li parts? If so:

They're avaliable on thingiverse. I've had my brother print some for me and they turned out pretty well. 3D print is certainly strong enough.

Yeah, don't have a 3D printer tho.

Anyway, the panel connects pretty snugly with just the remaining three clips, but I have to adjust the drive bays a bit with a small screwdriver while putting the panel on. So I guess it's not a huge problem for now. Would be nice to have replacements as a possibility tho.

There are people printing them and selling them on Ebay: https://www.ebay.com/p/1504947488

Download STL, upload STL to Craftcloud for them to 3D print it for you, or go to the local library or makerspace to have it 3D printed.
