The 3d printed plastic versions arrived last night. There are millimeter measurement differences on some of the regions that I will need to adjust. All of the screw holes seem small. I was able to force fit the screws in. Is this typical for 3d printed parts or should I widen up the screw holes...
I drafted a prototype G4 cube heatsink for dual boards. I went ahead and sent it to JLC to make a plastic prototype to test fit and screws. If anyone has a dual and wants to try fit on their boards let me know and I will send the f3d/step etc or w.e files so you can edit the cpu contact stage...

Here's the dxf! Xometry has so much more options, but the minimum price is a bit higher. I'm thinking of testing their anodized copper 101. ( https://www.xometry.com/materials/ ), they can get it down to 0.5mm. I have some blue steel parts from sendcutsend that are 0.15mm; that induction heater...
