Thermaltake Water 3.0 Intel 1050/1051 mount

thingiverse

I have a Thermaltake Water 3.0, I upgraded my PC and switched from an AMD CPU to an Intel CPU, but I lost the Intel mounting parts. I based my design on this: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3145622 It fit perfectly around my Thermaltake cooling block and the CPU mounts in the motherboard, but I couldn't use it to hold it in place. So I added an extra edge that sits on top of the "pins" around the block and created a hole for the cables to escape. My original design and print had slightly too large of an inner edge, so I carved it down with an exacto knife. I included the original STL file I printed, which needed carving, and an edited version where I made it smaller (but haven't tested yet). I decided to keep the 3mm mounting holes on both models even though I used 4mm mounting screws myself. If you want to use 4mm mounting screws, you can either drill out larger holes or edit the STL file. I was going to use the original design as a mounting plate for the back but it didn't fit, so I cut it up and used the pads from it for mounting. I felt a little lazy and didn't bother making a proper backplate for it.
