Roku 3 Vertical Stand

thingiverse

My old Roku 3 used to shut down unexpectedly due to overheating issues that required a reboot every now and then. I fixed this problem by creating a stand for my device, which allows it to sit upright, thereby improving airflow around the unit and allowing hot air to escape more efficiently from near the bottom where it's generated. To save some material, I added some holes in strategic locations, though I'm not entirely sure if this actually enhances airflow. So far, after three weeks of continuous use without any issues, my Roku has remained stable and hasn't locked up once. This stand was designed using Tinkercad, a great online tool for creating 3D models. You can check it out here: https://www.tinkercad.com/things/7BvF6VJ4cJ8
