prusaprinters

<p>If you have one of these super cheap 2U Rackable Systems Server Chassis (Sometimes sold as SGI Servers as well), you may get into trouble keeping the rear CPU cool enough.</p> <p>I got into this issue with my Supermicro X8DTI-F Dual Socket 1366 mainboard. To support the heat-sink, I build a fan shroud with a 90° bend and a Standard 40mm FAN-Connector.</p> <p>You don't need any screws. The fan can be pushed on the shroud pins and then pushed onto the heat sink.</p> <p>Please have a look at my additional screens how to print this shroud.</p> <p>I used Cura (4.6.0)</p> <ul> <li>Put the 45° Wall as the bottom plate. </li> <li>with Tree-Support (Touching Everywhere) </li> <li>I allowed Overhangs up to 60°</li> <li>Added a little brim for stability </li> <li><p>Raised the Z distance between Support and Object for easy removal After that you should have just a single Support-Tree inside the fan-shroud and an approximate print time of around 3 to 3,5 hours</p> <p>Have fun</p> <p>PS: 2U (and 3U) "Rackable Systems" Chassis can get bought from several used parts seller on Ebay for 15-50 Euros. You can get them with 3,5 Inch HDD Caddies or use the printable caddy ( <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2447984">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2447984</a> ) from greenedge</p> </li> </ul> Category: Computer
