Why don't we just 3D print a thicker case for the i9 MBP 2018 and call it the end?

Hello, why don't we just 3D print a thicker MBP case and call it the end?

Without a competent cooling solution results will remain the same...

Can't we print a thicker case and add some fans or dry ice cubes ourselves?

Seriously? In a word no and I've consumed rather a lot of very decent Vodka, although nowhere near enough for such random ideas

just need to print the bottom and add a ton of vents and that would work. ill buy one.

You’d have to enlarge the heat sinks and fans too to take advantage of the larger case.

No offense OP, but you’re really starting to sound borderline obsessed with the MBP.

I get that many of us don’t like the limitations of the design Apple came up with. I’m not crazy about it myself (and I’m being kind). But... this is really as random as it gets.

Just liquid metal the CPU. You will probably need to replace the liquid metal every six months, but it will keep it much cooler than a thicker case ...

Won't solve the problem at all. LM doesn't reduce temps when the problem is the cooling system is completely saturated like the tiny lightweight single-pipe design in the MBP2016-2018 and it will do nothing to solve the VRM-based throttling. You also don't need to replace LM; I'm not sure where people get these ideas from.
