This week’s selection is Affordable RAM by Printables contributor Dezain 3D.
If you’ve been shopping for a PC lately, you probably noticed something: the price of memory has skyrocketed. In many cases, the cost of those PCs or laptops is far, far higher than they were previously.
That’s all due to the cost of RAM, random access memory chips. The world has only so much capacity to make them, and it seems that AI companies have been booking up that memory production for the future. This leaves far less for the rest of us, who have to now pay more for the leftovers.
RAM has thus become an expensive commodity. It’s hard to come by and it feels like you always need more.
But there’s an answer, kind of: just print your own RAM!
This 3D model is exactly that: a precision 3D model of a stick of RAM, just like you would put into your PC. Now you can have as much RAM as you’d like.
Unfortunately, this RAM’s response speeds are a bit slow. Maybe zero.
Nevertheless, this model would make for an incredibly fun birthday gift for the right person.
