DeepCool N1 cooling pad replacement feet

thingiverse

I've owned this cooling pad for approximately four years now. A couple of months ago, disaster struck when I accidentally snapped one leg while trying to remove it from my case. To avoid a repeat performance, I decided to create a new replacement part. The new one went together seamlessly and was so rigid that I ended up breaking the second leg just to swap it out for the new one. As a temporary fix, I used some spare old Allen wrenches that were lying around to serve as a makeshift pivot point from inside my case. The price of this four-year-old cooling pad is still double what I originally paid for it, and I'm struggling to comprehend why that's the case.
