Description

This is a design of CPU (AMD Athlon 64 X2) cooler holder that sits on my oldish PC's motherboard. The original one after years has become brittle and simply cracked - see on the posted pic. Since the part is no longer available anywhere and I could not find any 3D model of it I decided to design a replacement myself. It works perfectly fine as you can see on the pictures. These CPUs are soon to become retro stuff I guess, certainly are not very popular nowadays and so are the cooler holders :D but anyway if you find yourself in a need for one - here it is, you've just found it :).

 

I improved the original part design to make it stronger. Among others I added a triple hook on both sides. Looks like all coolers for that CPU have latches compatible with triple hooks but for some reason the original part on my motherboard was featuring only a single hook. Probably savings as the cooler unit that I got with the motherboard has a latch for triple hooks and hence only one latch slot was used on any side.

 

PS: Remember to print it with ABS or sth at least as much temperature resistant. I think the original part was made of ABS reinforced with fiberglass but in my case pure ABS works just fine.
