RAM Storage Box v5 - With DDR4 SODIMM Support!
I really loved the design for RAM storage that @dambergn created a few years ago (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3789596), and so I set out to print a bunch of them for a tech support shop I used to work at. However, as I was finally transitioning our current storage to these trays, I noticed a small issue: DDR4 SODIMM modules are 2 mm wider than DDR3 SODIMM modules, which is just barely larger than what the trays support. And so, with a wave of inspiration and an appreciation for the original design, I decided to make the required modifications to support the larger DDR4 modules.
To create this model, I reverse engineered the existing part, creating a brand new sketch in my CAD software using the existing dimensions, and then tweaking the dimensions. What I aimed to provide with this new version were the following:
- Support for DDR4 SODIMM modules as well as prior generations
- Support for RAM modules with tall heatsyncs, especially RGB RAM
- More curvature around edges for a smoother look
- Higher walls for easier labeling

Please do not ask me for the CAD files for this project. I have gotten many requests to release the CAD files, but I do not feel comfortable doing so for one reason: this is someone else's design, not my own. Unless the original designer explicitly says that it is alright, I will not publish the CAD files.
