Thankyou for your effort, I would have placed the fan above the SOC so that the air could blow directly down on the heatsink and see what happened to the temps then.

Looks like if you want the cover on you need the heatsink and fan number 8 grey, though number 4 yellow, cover on and fan with no heatsink is not far behind on 2-3c difference.

Number 5 green is a shock, it has a heatsink, but no cover and no fan at around 76-78c the heatsink is only making a 5-6c difference from no fan, no cover and no heatsink.

Nice work on the case, I would like a 3D printer but i am no good at CAD.

John.

Finally got the 3D printer working at the hackspace, however it had some build quality issues, gaps are temporarily plugged with blu-tac [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-eee7c49d-659a-41b9-a780-8a10878db87f/8308.contentimage_5F00_3.png:16:16]

I've picked up some diamond heatsinks and thermal compound, as soon as I find a 3D Printer I want to try it out in this setup with the fan [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-eee7c49d-659a-41b9-a780-8a10878db87f/contentimage_5F00_1.png:16:16]

Great work [mention:b6cc5b8668b94a4eb82b2a32032394c1:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05], I just scored my Pi 3 at Microcenter ( the last one of a shipment of 40 gotten Monday). I will start testing today.
