Back in the day (Tesla K20 and before 3d printers were a thing) I had a carefully folded cardboard duct held in place with masking tape feeding cold air into the GPU from a potentiometer controlled fan on our deep learning startup dev server.
Best £20, mostly the fan and pot, we spent. Gave us a 10% boost in training speeds. The CEO described it to one investor as “cardboard engineering”
Awesome work! I am in University taking Digital Fabrication. I am learning how to use Rhino3d 8 to design sculptural art work. I am also a big 3d printing nerd. I just think about all the awesome things 3d printing can be used for if you can design it.
What software are you using?
What printer did you print it on?
TinkerCAD does require a certain kind of patience though so you got that. I can get frustrated easily by small things. Like the web interface and having to sign into a profile for start.
I started my foray into 3d printing with a very clunky ender 3 max. It started to collect dust after 3 months because man alive that machine was deficient in every possible way. So dumb compared to the Prusa MK3+ that I got a year later. Last summer I added a sovol svo7+ to the mix. It’s so fast! I have shaved off 50% of the time its takes on the Prusa with smaller layer heights and still maintain excellent quality.
I was in the the grinding shop to day. My digital fabrication class made sculptures in Rhino for 3d printing. Then though the lost wax method we cast them into bronze. I was grinding off the spurs and such. Il upload a picture when its done.
The left most face is a soap stone sculpture I carved in college. I painted it white temporarily so I could get a good 3D scan. Then the rainbow in mostly PLA. The furthest face to the right is the bronze cast 3d print.
Il upload more when I learn how to water mark my images better but for now this image gives you the overall project view.
