G751 M.2 bracket 3d printed and heatsinked

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-

preprinted holes but wont look as clean-

I'm going to guess 128GB models run cooler because of the decreased bandwidth.

Well the sm951 256 runs exactly the same temp as the 512 so i doubt the 128 is any less. The xp941 runs hotter then the sm951 so keep that in mind.

Yeah, I've seen some live temp comparisons, it seems to run up to 10 degrees cooler. Apparently the controller is just plain better designed for it.

Thats probably because it only writes at half the speed of the 256.

I meant between the XP941 and the SM951. The SM951 runs considerably cooler than the XP941 according to what tests I've seen.
But considering how rarely writes would actually occur on a 128GB SSD...I don't think that particular metric even comes into the equation.

By chances are you still selling those brackets? If so do you have any in stock or are they made to order and how long will it take to make and ship after payment?

Also how would the two drive bracket work? As in there's no room for heat sinks? How are thermals with that set up?

You just go to the link. I dont make any money on them shapeways prints and ships it. How long depends on how far you are from them put it in your cart and see the shipping estimate. I usually get anything from shapeways in a week.
The 2 drive bracket with open top still has room for upper heatsinks. These are the best fit.

The memory controller is on the top of the sm951 and has the highest temp and 2.5 ssds dont need any heatsinks but you could place a few on it itf you wanted. I would prefer people stuck to a single driv e in that slot but i designed the other brackets as an option and they have worked fine for people.

How sturdy is that design though? Also do you have a link for some thermal pads as well? As for wanting two drives in that bay it's for more for just being future proof. I've never used a bare SSD before so I'd have to look into it more. Would it be possible to get a bracket for a naked SSD that only covered the bottom and sides, is this something you would be interested in modeling?

I think there have been 7 orders of that design with no issues but its not as sturdy as a design with a top or bottom covered. I used 3m 25x25x1mm thermal pads and cut them but these are similar

Yes i can make a 2.5 naked bracket if you give me the exact dimensions in mm of the 2.5 drive naked. But every ssd is different thats why i havent done one yet. I personally dont use 2 drives in one bay and dont recommend it because the sm951 performance is the most important thing to me everything else is just backup.
