Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 2 Permanent Cooling Ridge

thingiverse

My X1 sat on my plush couch all day, overheating because there was a lack of airflow beneath it. To solve the issue, I created an additional ridge to allow for better ventilation. You'll need a printer capable of producing 282mm long parts and a M2 replacement screw. I used a 8mm screw, but a 10mm one will fit just as well. It's likely you won't need a new screw since the part snaps into place securely, although I haven't tested it myself. Alternatively, you can modify the design to suit your needs, using available screws and printer sizes. FreeCAD project files are available for download in the designated section. Don't forget that this laptop can get quite hot at times, and PLA isn't very heat-resistant. I opted for ASA instead.
