External Mining GPU Mount

thingiverse

I really admired what b1sh0p did with his external video card mount. My remix incorporates a few minor adjustments: 1. Smoothes out the extended support arm. 2. Extends the bracket hole all the way to the bottom, so if you have sparse infill, you won't need to worry about printing over nothing. 3. Decreases the width of the bracket hole (so the bottom of the video card when installed, doesn't have as much play). 4. Changes the bracket hole from block to rounded edge to match the arm design. 5. Lengthens the video card mount (where you screw the video card into the brace) to fit more snugly. 6. Breaks out the video card mount into its own STL so you can print it independently, in case you lose one or need to reprint it for any reason. Video_card_mount.stl contains multiple holes, but I found only one was needed, plus the hole was a bit hard to thread into, so I created Video_card_mount_single.stl, which has a single hole, and its stepped at the entrance, making it easier to thread into. Optional: I discovered that with heavy cards, the GPU mount can sag. To help keep it stable, I included two sizes of riser supports (20mm and 22mm), which one you need will depend on your video card and riser dimensions. Measure from the top of the GPU mount base to the bottom of your riser card to see how tall it needs to be. Most people should be able to use the 20mm, which should snap into place without needing glue, though you can glue it in if you prefer. The ridge side will face down, and should fit snugly into the inside of the gpu stand.
