Orange Pi PC H3 CPU heatsink | ||
============================ | ||
|
||
Each heatsink is roughly 50g finished weight and has over 2200 square | ||
millimetres of surface area to dissipate heat over. | ||
|
||
See the image for the results. | ||
|
||
Method | ||
------ | ||
|
||
This design was realised with a lathe, mill and bandsaw | ||
|
||
The operations were: | ||
|
||
- 150mm length of 25mm round bar copper stock in three jaw chuck on lathe | ||
|
||
- end face and make hole for lathe centre. | ||
|
||
- rod turned round and turned down to 20mm for 20mm of length to fit | ||
20mm collet on mills rotary table chuck | ||
|
||
- on mill rod mounted between rotary table chuck and a centre. | ||
|
||
- centre slitting saw height at the centre of the copper rod | ||
|
||
- using a 1mm slitting saw cut 4mm deep grooves (ideally 6mm but in | ||
my case the centre and rotary table would foul cuts deeper than 4mm) | ||
|
||
- rotate table 40 degrees and repeat until all nine slots cut. | ||
|
||
- use bandsaw to slice off 13mm lengths, parting soft material like | ||
copper on a lathe really does not work (why yes i do need to buy a | ||
new insert for my parting tool) take it slow and let it cool down | ||
between cuts or it becomes very difficult to handle and may jam. | ||
|
||
- put the sections back in the lathe and face both sides. I also | ||
bevelled the bottom edges which removes some sharp edges. | ||
|
||
- clean thoroughly and ensure no copper swarf remains to get on your | ||
delicate electronics. | ||
|
||
- use some thermal tape and attach to CPU |
