Hi all,

Just wanted to show what I have been working on with 3D designing and printing trays. Heavily inspired by Matze79.

They are 180x160 mm and printed in PLA on a Prusa i3 MK3s (not printed in ESD safe material - don't want to discuss the risks of that - I am aware Wink )

The ones with the text on the left hand are the most recent. It has room for a label on the right side Smile

Next almost ready design is a Socket 8 PII Overdrive hybrid with room for 2 PPro and 2 ODs.

All design in Fusion360, which is free for 12 months Very Happy

If you decide to make some that match the size of standard trays, I would be interested, but I'm only interested in trays that stack with those I already have.

Very nice. I made my own version of this as well, for modern CPU's. One feature I added which I like, is raised corner nubs to lift the pins off the bottom of the tray. AM2/3/4 and rPGA988A/B have such small delicate pins, afterall.

What size are they?

And on a side note - I'm not up to selling them, I only produce for my self, as it takes 7'ish hours to print. But I will share files as soon as I am satisfied with the design..

312 x 134 mm stackable. You can see standard trays in many sales in here.

I'm honestly surprised that everyone who 3D prints trays make them in custom shapes that don't match the trays we have been using for decades Smile

That's probably because many 3D printers can't print that size.

For example the Prusa i3 MK3: max work size 25 x 21 x 21 cm

I think it's because most (affordable) 3D printers can't print that large parts .. The Prusa I'm using, maxes out at appx. 250 x 200 ..

The design I've made for socket 5-7 uses in the ball park of 56 grams of filament, making it very cheap indeed.

But for making a compatible tray, one might design two half 156 x 134 mm trays .. I just don't have any to test with, so from my point of view, the 180 x 160 is fine Smile

Great, look forward to the printing files Very Happy

I tried printing a few for individual ones with my FFCP. Quite time consuming. 7 hours for a tray is not too bad.

The printable area of hobby 3D printer is usually too small for standard CPU trays

I'd be in the market for trays that fit Pentium 4's and Core 2 mobile/Core iX mobile CPUs.

If ya have access to a 3D printer, I can send my CAD for LGA775, rPGA988A/B, LGA115x. Probably also fits Socket M/P. All are the same size PCB.

P4, mobile pentium M and mobile Core all use the same package size.

Core ix mobiles have the same PCB package size as LGA775/LGA115x.
