Fixed my GPU sag

When the PCIe spec was written, nobody thought that mainstream GPUs would become the big, heavy monsters we know of nowadays. The unsupported corner sags and strains the PCIe slot. That rarely actually causes any problems but fixing it has lately become a trend. With a 3D printer, the solution is obvious:

Wasn't quite expecting that, but if it works it works! Nice job.

The only thing I did to turn an artistic print into a functional print is scale it to be just the right height.

Naomi Wu is definitely very unusual in that she's one of the few in the intersect of art and engineering who is more on the art side. And apparently it's not easy to be an artist dabbling in engineering amongst engineers dabbling in art. She is one of the few who makes engineering-related videos that work well to subjectively test 4K upscaling capabilities of a GPU.
