3D printing RAM covers?

[peters_19_]

I have a 16gb kit of G.Skill NT RAM and I'll be the first to admit it looks ugly as hell. If I 3D print RAM covers, should I be able to not have the plastic melt?

I don't RAM would get hot enough to melt any 3D [printing] materials.

*googles what G.Skill NT RAM looks like*

Ah, they look like printed circuit boards.  God, I hate it when computers look like PCBs.  Who ever thought that a computer should look like a collection of PCBs in the first place!?

PLA is printed at about 190-200C, so RAM won't be hot enough to melt it. If anything, it might (but probably wont) get hot enough to warp the print a little.

It would probably be prone to warping at about 60C ish..

I saw ABS temps as well and it should hold up until 100-110C and RAM isn't supposed to reach that high.

So which one of us is changing our profile picture

As said lower temp plastics like PLA may soften, ABS should be alright as RAM only get a little warm. There are metal heatsink or covers you can get for RAM which are for watercooling but you can just have the plates on the RAM.
