As I was working on a repair Xbox for someone and noticed the two thrashed and broken heat sink clamps (not sure exactly what they did to them but clearly they didn’t quite grasp how they came off lol) I pondered this question. Has anyone ever tried to make replacement clamps to match or improve on the originals? I always just use others from parts Xboxes but I’m curious to know. I would assume they have to be injection molded or something of that nature. It seems like a 3D printed part might not hold up to that stress or maybe it would if done in the right material. Anyway, just thought I’d throw it out here and see if anyone had ever run across that before or tried themselves.
