3D printed delid tool


I designed a 3D printable universal delidding tool! : buildapc

Here is the Thingiverse page, and the Imgur album.

This tool was designed in OpenSCAD.

I've pasted the description below. let me know what you think of both the writing and the tool.

About

This is a customizable parametric processor delidding tool. Variables can be edited to fit any LGA (Land Grid Array) processors. PGA (Pin Grid Array) processors do not work with this tool.

Go to the Imgur album to see all of the pictures.

Note: For some reason, the previews for the tool base part aren't rendering properly. That is not how it will look when you print it. To see an accurate representation, look at the first screenshot of the OpenSCAD window, or the second render of the example STL file.

Customizing

You must customize this tool for your processor. The default settings are for an LGA1366 processor, which probably isn't what you're using.

Open the Customizer app, and change the variables to your processor's measurements. You probably don't need to change any in the box-margins tab.

If you are confused about any of the parameters, all you need to do is ask for clarification.

Note: When measuring the CPU, enter a little extra room, about ±0.2mm on the width and depth, if your prints shrink. If you have great dimensional accuracy you probably shouldn't worry.

Instructions

  1. Lay the processor inside of the tool base as you would for a motherboard socket.

  2. Place the tool cover over the top of the processor so the ridge underneath butts against the edge of the processor's IHS.

    • The underside of the cover (facing up when printed) should be flush against the top of the processor.

    • There should be a gap between the inner edge of the tool base and cover the same length as the margin (default: 5) specified in the variables.

    • The top side of the cover and base should be flush with each other.

  3. Use a C-clamp or equivalent to press the base and cover together.

    • The threaded side of the clamp should be pushing down on the top of the cover.

    • The non-mobile part of the clamp should be on the bottom of the base.

    • Tighten the clamp securely, don't be afraid to put pressure on the processor. If there isn't enough pressure, the cover may slip and break during the next step.

  4. Place the tool in a vice, lengthwise. This will put pressure on the side of the PCB and IHS to separate the silicon seal between the two.

  5. Slowly close the vice until you feel or hear the silicon seal break. There should be an audible snap, and tension on the vice will be reduced suddenly. The gap between the two parts should also be gone.

  6. Take the tool out of the vice, and carefully remove the clamp.

  7. Take the processor out carefully, preferably dump it in your hand upside-down. The IHS and PCB are now separate, and your warranty void.

You should know what to do after opening the processor. The rest is on you.

Disclaimer

Your warranty is now void.

This is a risky process, but potentially very beneficial. Your processor may break. If you don't know what delidding is, please research the topic thoroughly before proceeding.

You can delid processors without a lip on the IHS, just set lip_depth to 0. However, only do so for Intel processors. Do not delid AMD processors! All AMD chips are soldered with indium, so there is no reason to delid them anyways. See this video by der8aur if you want to know more.

I am not liable for any damage caused by this tool.

3D printed press brake punching tools

Last week, we made 50 parts for customers using printed press brake tooling, which allowed us to produce ordered parts quickly without having to order tooling and wait. All parts produced were to specification and the client was happy to receive their parts so quickly. The customer's part was thin aluminum, so I wanted to see what thicknesses could be formed with these tools, so I decided to develop more tools and test them by bending different thicknesses of steel.

Note: This article is a translation.

Step 1: Print Options

The most durable tools in this video were printed on a Prusa i3 MK3s 3D printer using standard PLA. I printed 12 perimeters with 20% gyroid infill at 0.2mm layer height.

The tools in my video bend steel up to 3.4 mm thick without significant wear after more than 150 consecutive bends. The force required to bend 10 gauge mild steel (0.134"/3.4mm) at a 1" bend length through a 1" diameter V-die is approximately 0.79tons or 1580 pounds.

Metal forming experts Cincinnati Inc. have tested their 3D printed tools up to 14ga steel and achieved 1000 bends success. Cincinnati also uses PLA for its molding tools, as it is much more rigid than many of the other common materials used in standard FDM printers.

Step 2: Select tool

Download any of these 3D models to get started. I have added each of the tools tested in the video.

Gooseneck+125R.stp 28 Download

Thin+125R.stp 25 Download

Wide+125R.stp 24 Download

Step 3: Experiment!

Here are some ideas for other people who don't have access to a press brake to use these forming tools:

  • Vise - You can easily adapt my designs or create your own to attach to regular sheet metal bending vises at home.
  • Mandrel Press - You can create a forming tool that attaches to a mandrel press.
  • Attachments - I develop various radius fixtures that can be attached to existing rigs. This will greatly speed up the printing time.

Step 4: Learn from the Experts

If you're interested in learning more about what experts in the field have to say about this, check out these two articles: Do you need non-standard plate bending equipment? Print it on a 3D printer! [Part 1] and Benefits of 3D Printed Press Brake Tooling

These articles really sparked my interest in these tools and I'm glad I did them. This process will save my shop a lot of money in the future and, more importantly, reduce lead times for our customers.
