Not dumb question (or comment)! I have a CC3D EVO board. Have a heart PsyBorg...

Which configurator are you using? I think mine (old one) came with Open Pilot which won't work in BetaFlight. Nice progress, good luck!

My bad,
So, i've bought this one
https://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B015SRUI38/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I had already one of this on my 250 quad and it works fine, however, the one that i bought for the 3d printed quad always fail to be recognized...
It could be a faulty board...
I'am actually using LibrePilot, maybe could be a problem related to the software's version

The product description says OpenPilot which was handed to LibrePilot a few years ago. You can try finding and downloading the last version of OpenPilot, maybe from GitHub or similar. Or you can try to flash new firmware, whichever configurator you prefer that is CC3D compatible. Can you get to the firmware flashing section of LibrePilot with the CC3D plugged in?
Also, if you can get to CLI tab, try to type in "version" (without quotations) and hit Enter, hopefully can get software info.

Can't recommend anything but your best bet based on the 4in1 ESC you are using would probably be the Bardwell F4 version 2. GetFPV had it for ~$35. It looks like it has the same wiring harness as your ESC board. On V2 the pins are V, C, G, N, 1, 2, 3, 4 and it looks like your ESC would plug in to it. ElectriSean likes version 1 and I have v2 but haven't flown it yet. The board has a built in OSD, plus Joshua has created a huge manual and has great how to videos.
Make sure you watch PsyBorgs soldering tips video because it's easy to toast these boards if you're not careful. Looking at your previous pics I'm wondering if you would need the PDB in addition to the 4in1 ESC. I think the 4in1 can serve as your PDB also.

I'm following this because I'm kind of curious as to how this is going to fly. I've read various things that say the 3D printed stuff (with the exception of TinyWhoop type frames) tend to be too heavy or not very durable compared to the CF frames. That said, if you can make your own parts for $2-$3 vs $70 for a whole new frame, it's definitely something to consider. 
Let us know how the maiden and subsequent flights go!

until i'm sure that it flies i will not publish, it is a work in progress. I don't wanna kill other people eletronics =)
I don't think that your eletronics can fit in the frame, in my build there is an AIO ESC, u should unsolder all your escs.... =(
OUCH... hate it when that happens.
FWIW... the gear I will use has been used on a few builds already. Not worried about frying it. Have a 4in1 I could use too. Just looking to make use of some spare gear. No worries if you don't want to share yet.
Cheers!

Well, on the other hand, I'll get another SPF3 on monday.
But in the meantime , when the board worked, I was able to configure the FC and also save the confuguration file and fix the spin of the motors.
I followed this video in order to make the FC work on my pc...i don't know if it is a normal procedure to follow.
Bye for now, have a nice week, I'll post soon
In the end:
MOTORS
ECS
RECEIVER
PBD
works
FCB
burned
Frame
Half way to be approved
