PCIe card display stand

prusaprinters

<p>Ever have a pile of old PCIe x2 x4 x8 x16 cards lying around? They're either scattered on the floor, crammed into a drawer or hidden in the refrigerator with next to the frozen blueberries (yes, I live in a very interesting household). Anyways, you're tired of staring at them and ya don't wanna throw 'em out because you must've paid at least 20 bucks for that old NIC card from 10 years ago and it just still 'feels' useful. I get you brother... I get you.</p> <p>OK, so let's tidy things up by printing out some display standoffs! That way, when your spouse comes in and sees how neatly you've decorated the place with nigh-worthless computer parts, he (or she) doesn't have to passive-aggressively hint how you need to go outside more often. I made this so that your marriage won't fall apart like mine did.</p> <p>... Sadness.</p> <p>On the positive side, this is the first thing I've printed in 3 months! My Wanhao Duplicator 4 is now a pile of rubble as it has been triumphantly replaced by a Flashforge. Yes, this makes me quite happy. Happy indeed. :)</p> <p>So, this one goes the length of a x8, but of course you can pretty much put any size in it.</p> <p>If you found this useful, please share your work and be sure to peruse my other submissions which are almost as varied as they are many:</p> <p><a href="/3E8/designs">http://www.thingiverse.com/3E8/designs</a></p> <p>Enjoy!</p> <p>Sept 13, 2016 update: Published a derivative with the bracket support and curved corners:</p> <p><a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1768568">http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1768568</a></p> <p>Jan 13th, 2017 update: Added a Generic Card Holder that doesn't have a notch so you can essentially put any card in it.</p> Category: Decor
