3D Printable Stand for 120mm Fan (Beta) - Hosted by TinkerCad
Things we've tried and failed:
- Using automotive oil pans
- Peltier Based Passive Cooling
Things we hope to try that would improve the design:
- Custom Aluminum milled Heatsinks that would fit around the can.
- Build in Temp Gauge (Could be USB powered on the Lid)
- AC Input
- Total Waterproofing (Requires about $5k to invest in proper tooling for USBC-Thunderbolt 4 Bulkhead Production)
FAQ:
- Could I use another type of PC other than a BeeLink SER8?
Yes! As long as it supports Display over USBC. Typically, this would be a newer computer. I recommend testing for "Dock functionality" before submerging anything in oil.

This works like Linux. This is the original, but feel free to make your own distro. :)
