Summer comes! The air is hot and my surface pro 3 too. If the cpu heated up, the frequency of my i5 cpu will drop from 2.6GHz to 1.85GHz or even lower! That absolutely slows down my computer. I want to find a external cooler, but there are few, expensive or I just don't like. So I decided to 3d print my own one!

All you need is:

• two 40mm 5V DC fan (Sleeve Bearing fans are good enough, cheaper and more silent comparing to Ball Bearing fans)
• a usb power meter
• four or eight M3 screws
• two 40mm fan guard (you can find many on thingiverse, but I prefer metal ones)
• some tools and some cables
• some electric knowledge and soldering skills

This fits my Surface Pro 3 well, not too tight, but also won't fall from my surface even if I put my surface upside down. This should fit Surface Pro 4 or newer Surfaces too, but I find the newer Surfaces are thinner a little bit, so you can try yourself out.

BTW, support is needed.
