Due to the vast increase in processing power and energy usage in computing, a need for greater heat dissipation is prevalent. With numerous applications demanding cheaper and more efficient options for thermal management, new technology must be employed. Through the use of additive manufacturing, designs and structures can be created that were not physically possible before without extensive costs. The goal is to design a system that utilizes capillary action, which is the ability for liquids to flow through narrow spaces unassisted. The level of detail required may be achieved with direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) and stereolithography (SLA) 3D printing.

Mechanical design can be intimidating, especially for someone new to the discipline because of the complexity and the limited number of resources available. The overarching goal of this project is to help mechanically curious individuals by creating an open-source 3D printed clock with detailed information and explanations for how the systems work and are designed. This increase in available knowledge will allow people to educate themselves by following or recreating the design process and, perhaps, inspire others to continue the learning process and study STEM.
