Electronic Component Ventilation Spacer

thingiverse

I had an issue with my DirecTV receiver overheating because it was stacked on top of another electronic component. To resolve this problem, I designed a spacer that allows for more airflow between the components. You can easily add rubber feet to prevent it from sliding around. This design also works perfectly under a laptop computer to help keep it cool. The size can be adjusted by modifying the X and Y dimensions, but leave the Z dimension unchanged. I 3D printed this spacer using HIPS material, and adding a raft helps prevent warping during the printing process.
