CPU cooler back plate ITX 1151

thingiverse

So there i was trying to build a computer for my partner. (has never had a computer to play games on before) for as cheap as humanly possible. I was able to find a nice CPU/Motherbord combo being sold locally and after haggling with the guy for a while i got it at a price even i was surprised with, and when we met at a gas station to make the deal he also threw in a cpu cooler he had lying around for free! What a stand up guy Right! but it had just one problem, no mounting bracket for it. After bringing it home and looking at the price of a new cooler i was motivated to figure out how to make this thing work. i looked to my 3d printer for help. First i checked thingiverse for any designs that others could've made and i did find a handful of options. sadly none were going to work for my application/materials at hand, so i designed my own with the small screws and bolts i had lying on my desk already. I hope someone else finds themselves in a situation where this design is useful. I used #8 UNC-32 screws and nuts. The nuts are 8.6mm from flat faces
