Description

Warning! Clips may loosen over time due to heat creep depending on the temperatures and filament material used. Proceed with Caution!

As you can tell from the photo, I have it mounted on a USB to M.2 interface. It was getting too hot to touch to remove so I bought the cheapest heatsink on AliExpress (without thermal pad)

I could have used a rubber band, but I prefer a solution that could assemble the heatsink without removing the drive. 

My earlier print in PLA started becoming loose after 1-2 hours at 50 deg C, now trying out ABS. So far it has been stable.

For my heatsink and SSD, the thickness to clamp is 3mm. I included a 3.5mm version if you wish to use a thermal pad.  If you have other thicknesses, let me know.
