For persons unfamiliar with 3D-printing advances of the last years, it would be nice to prominently state the used materials. At least for stuff like heatsinks. I found nothing on the cnx-software website. The INUX3D website just provides a generic statement about "special cases and materials". edit: found "We use top quality PLA and PETG filaments for our products." on the INUX3D website

I'm pretty sure the heatsink is going to be aluminium. A 3d-printed heatsink would not work too well.

  Indeed, they specify that the heatsink is aluminium in one of the descriptions

  Never underestimate how much energy you can store in a phase change ;)

  They do exist! Here’s filament that can be used to print them: https://tcpoly.com/product/ice9-flex/ https://tcpoly.com/product/ice9-flex/

    For as long as that's $140/kg, I'm content with generic aluminium heatsinks..!

    Interesting thing thanks for sharing. Thermal conductivity while relatively high however pales in comparison to aluminum.

the heatsink is a pretty generic PI looking heatsink: https://www.elektor.com/pimoroni-aluminium-heatsink-case-for-raspberry-pi-4 https://www.elektor.com/pimoroni-aluminium-heatsink-case-for... I assume they will be sourcing those and printing the stands themselves.
