Don't hold your breath. I have to see how I can get the heatsink wall made. I have some ideas, but you know how it is... always short of time, money and means...
The exporter generates no files whatsoever. Thanks for your help anyway! And I expect to see this thread on the project logs-section when I get back home next time
Am doing (on another forum), and Dutchcedar, who has come up with some viable solutions already. If Enak is still in the CNC business he might be able to help.
Desktop chips are getting so efficient lately that you don't really need to stick with mobile. An E5200 should have no problem running at stock speed when undervolted to 0.9 or 1 volt, at which point it'll dissipate less than 15 watts at full load (compared to about 25 at stock voltage)
I have an idea, since drawing this I've had a couple revisions to make it cleaner, but I'll let you fill in the blanks. How about this: *click for big* And if you wanted the fins to have a solid back, and not just be and open vent. I came up with a box design that can 'inlay' inside the design above for that effect: Do I get a cookie?
Good point --not considered that before. I'll have to look into that. Here you go: /hands cookie. With chocolate chip. The problem is that it is very inefficient on materials. Enak and I are currently looking at some CNC options where the walls are split into three interlinked pieces. Extrusion may be another option.
Aaah, I missed the CNC part, that'll teach me to skip posts. I was trying to come up with a cost effective solution that could be made a la Dremel
