Turning computer programs into physical objects
summary
Bought an industrial GPU is unbearably loud, so code generates parts, prints kilograms of PLA and swaps the blower for a slow 80 mm fan plus a 3D‑printed funnel and fin stack that press four NVMe heat‑pipe coolers against the board, doubling as a GPU support. Uses a programmatic CAD workflow (OpenSCAD‑style) to output STL, iterates over months, and achieves near‑inaudible idle noise while keeping temperatures safe. PLA is the material used and the solution actually fits a normal ATX case.
