Predator Helios Neo 16S Cooling Risers V2.0

Predator Helios Neo 16S Cooling Risers (V2.0)

Stop the throttle. This is a precision-engineered cooling solution for the Acer Predator Helios Neo 16S, designed to provide a $3/4$ inch rear lift for maximum fan intake without sacrificing stability.

🛠 What’s New in V2.0: The Mobility Refresh

After a rigorous real-world travel test, I’ve overhauled the geometry to move these from a "desk accessory" to a permanent part of the machine.

• Rounded Base: A refined contact profile for a stable, "finished" feel on any surface—from lap desks to tray tables.
• Precision Snap-Fit: Fine-tuned internal tolerances. These now "bite" the corners with confidence and stay locked in place when you move the laptop.
• Vent-Safe Bridging: Added a structural bridge to close the side gap found in V1. This adds significant strength without obstructing a single millimeter of airflow.
• Revised Silhouette: The outer profile now aggressively follows the factory lines of the 16S chassis for a cleaner, integrated look.

Why This Design?

• Caliper Verified: Modeled in Fusion 360 using precise physical measurements for a secure, non-slip fit.
• Zero Hinge Interference: Carefully shaped to allow the lid to open and close fully.
• Thermal First: The rear is completely open to ensure hot exhaust is never restricted or recirculated.

Recommended Print Settings (Optimized V2.0)

These settings have been tested on a Bambu Lab P2S using Bambu TPU 98A (AMS Compatible) for the perfect balance of flex and durability.

• Nozzle: 0.4mm
• Layer Height: 0.20mm
• Orientation: Print on the flat outer face (side) for a support-free experience.
• Walls: 3 Wall Loops (provides excellent structural "bite" for the snap-fit).
• Infill: 8% Gyroid (offers great structural support while maintaining the TPU's natural grip).
• Top/Bottom Shells: 5 layers each for a solid, premium finish.

Note: Specifically tuned for the 16S model chassis. Total filament usage is approximately 129g.
