This 3D‑printed bracket, specially designed for Changanet mini PCs, features a sleek, all‑in‑one structure in vibrant light green, with a lightweight, open‑cell lattice that cradles the black compact host’s core technology. The bracket’s main body is a rectangular flat plate, its surface adorned with 20 hexagonal cooling vents that perfectly align with the host’s ventilation needs at the base. On one side, a U‑shaped flange‑based slot securely snaps into place along the host’s edges (as shown in Figure 1, where the host sits firmly and stably). Against the natural backdrop of light gray walls and wood‑grain desktops, the green bracket resembles a pair of mechanical wings, lifting the mini host off the desk—enhancing heat dissipation while also serving as a striking functional sculpture on the workspace.

Design Highlights

• Hexagonal Convection Channels

  The 20 hexagonal openings form an efficient heat‑dissipation matrix, guiding airflow from bottom to top to reduce thermal buildup during heavy‑load operation—echoing the dense fin‑array design seen on the host’s heat sinks in Figure 1.

• U‑Shaped Locking Slots

  The flange‑based slots precisely match the host’s thickness; once inserted, they lock securely in place, preventing the host from shifting due to cable tension (as shown in Figure 1, where all host ports face forward, showcasing a stable configuration).

• Dual‑Mode Usability

  The bracket can be used independently (as shown in Figure 1), or multiple units can be arranged side by side to create a multi‑host cluster stand (as illustrated in Figure 2, where two brackets are mounted in parallel)—perfectly suited for maker projects, soft routers, and other multi‑device setups.

• Color‑Coded Identification System

  The bright green hue creates high‑contrast visual markers against dark hosts and light backgrounds, enabling quick differentiation between device groups while infusing the setup with a lively, energetic aesthetic.

Technical Specifications

• Host Compatibility: Changanet N Series / X86 Series mini PCs (compatible with most mini form factors ≤ 12 × 12 cm in length and width)
• Recommended Materials: High‑strength PETG or carbon‑fiber PLA (low warping, temperature‑resistant)
• Structural Details: 15 cm long × 10 cm wide; hexagonal aperture diameter: 1.5 cm; flange height: 1.2 cm
• Printing Tips: For the hexagonal openings, we recommend enabling bridging optimization; the flange areas should be filled at 100% to ensure robust load‑bearing capacity.

Application Scenarios

▸ Desktop cooling stand for soft router or home server mini PCs (as shown in Figure 1, where all ports are fully exposed for easy cabling)

▸ Parallel mounting solution for multi‑host clusters (as illustrated in Figure 2, where two brackets are arranged side by side, ideal for server arrays)

▸ Shock‑absorbing, highly ventilated base for industrial control mini PCs

▸ Elevated foundation layer for desktop cable management systems (with dedicated routing space reserved at the bottom)
