Looking good.
I just finished (is it ever really finished?) a build of the his RGB pack. His stuff is pretty awesome.
I haven't looked at the XGB files, but just something to think about cause it tripped me up on the RGB build- There were no holes in the parts that touched the motherboard for brackets. By the time I realized that I had already assembled and painted everything and didn't want to risk drilling through 20% infilled PLA.

I don't know if that's a thing with this build, but if it is- you should think about adding the holes for attachment brackets BEFORE you print them. I'm always super nervous drilling into 3d printed parts if they need to be weight bearing.

yeah, I gotta be honest, I only just started to think about this because on the 3D model there is no suggestion about how the frame is connected or any kind of motherboard situation. I figured I would print the blaster and see how I felt. ..Well, I'm feeling fired up and printing the big parts for the pack.

It's not to big a deal to add a couple holes to a part before you print it. Just don't put yourself in a situation where you've done all the assembly and paint before you think about it..... Cause drilling into PLA or PTEG (at least for me) never seems to work well.
