G751 M.2 bracket 3d printed and heatsinked

[aeolisio]

After searching these forums for a M.2 bracket for my G751JY-DB73X G-Sync I actually made a 3d printed M.2 bracket myself. Well i made 13 versions before i found one that was perfect but its on shapeways if anyone still needs one. It has an open top for heatsinks. It also leaves enough room for the 850 EVO to fit naked. With heatsinks attached i got an average 7 degree drop in crystaldiskmark with the SM951 and 11 degrees with the stock XP941 which is a lot more then i expected.

UPDATED NEW M.2 VERSIONS
Need to drill holes yourself but the cleanest option-

I have had a couple people message me so far asking what to do with the sticker if applying heatsinks. You can certainly apply the heatsink over the sticker but i personally removed my sticker gently and placed it on wax paper so i can reapply it later if needed. I do that with all my stickers so that if i sell or warranty something i cant just reapply the stickers and it will look new. If you remove multiple stickers like the ones near the keyboard of the g751 just take a close up photos with a ruler and the stickers then youll know exactly how they were spaced if you ever need to reapply them.

Update: All of the brackets will work the the new samsung 950 pro in all sizes and heatsink recommendatons stay the same. As for getting the 950 pro to boot so far i have not been able to get it to boot but i am waiting for the updated driver from samsung and have been assured it will fix the boot issue.

If someone gets the Samsung 950 to boot please do inform here.Looking forward to buying this if the Samsung PRO 950 works.

Do not hijack my thread the 950 boot has nothing to do with a 3d printed bracket there is already a sticky thread dedicated to it here and had you asked there i would have helped you.

Consumer 3d scanning does not currently offer the fine detail accuracy required to make accurate parts. Look online at 3d scanned faces and you will see what i mean. In the next 5-10 years that may change but currently its not anywhere near viable for anything that i make. As for charging more i have no interest in making money off my designs and by making nothing i ensure that people can get a great product at the best price possible. If someone asked me for something completely custom that required a new design from scratch i suppose i might ask for $5-10 or something to make it worth doing just so i would have motivation to make it.

I see. Do you sell other designs that aren't on shapeways?

Not for sale online outside of the link to the shapeways items and nothing else for the g751. Most of my designs are for business partners or a specific client and therefore i cant publicly release them. Is there something specific your looking for? Right now i am working with a lot of experimental materials for the holidays so i am not taking many requests but if you have something in mind let me know.

The sinks were a bit of a tight fit on the bracket... but bam!
