PCIe card display stand

thingiverse

Ever got a pile of old PCIe cards cluttering up your space? They're probably scattered all over the floor, crammed into a drawer or hidden in the fridge with those frozen blueberries (yes, my household is quite eclectic). Anyways, you're tired of staring at them and don't want to toss 'em because you likely paid at least twenty bucks for that old NIC card from ten years ago and it just feels useful. I get where you're coming from... I get it. Alright, let's tidy things up by printing out some display standoffs! That way, when your spouse walks in and sees how neatly you've decked the place with nearly worthless computer parts, they won't have to passively hint that you need to get outside more often. I made this so your marriage doesn't fall apart like mine did. ... Sadness. On the bright side, this is the first thing I've printed in three months! My Wanhao Duplicator 4 is now a pile of rubble as it's been triumphantly replaced by a Flashforge. Yes, that makes me pretty happy. Happy indeed. So, this one goes the length of an x8, but you can put any size you want in it.
