The prompt

Design a CPU cooler mounting bracket in the shape of a stylized "X" (cross/spider shape), for a 3D-printable computer hardware part. Aesthetic, symmetrical, mechanical-industrial look — similar to aftermarket PC water-cooling brackets (brands like Bykski, Barrow, EK Water Blocks). Material look: brushed aluminum or matte black anodized metal. FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS (must stay accurate, this is a real mechanical part): - Overall shape: an X-shaped bracket, 4 tapered arms extending diagonally from a solid square center hub outward to 4 corners. - Center hub: flat top surface, with a square through-window 34 x 34 mm, sized to clamp down on top of a 40 x 40 x 12 mm aluminum cooling block (block sits underneath, hub's inner lip overlaps the block's top edges by 3 mm on all sides). - The 4 arm tips must each contain a through-hole, 3.4 mm diameter, positioned in a perfect 80 mm x 80 mm square pattern (measured center-to-center diagonally opposite holes = 80 mm along X and 80 mm along Y axis), matching Intel LGA1366 CPU socket mounting holes. - Overall footprint must fit within a 95 x 95 mm bounding box. - Thickness: 4-5 mm at the hub, tapering slightly thinner toward arm tips for a lighter, more elegant look, but keep enough material around each mounting hole (at least 4 mm wall around each hole) for structural strength. - Add subtle chamfers/fillets on all edges, and optional decorative ribbing or a beveled groove along the arms for visual interest, without weakening the structure. - The part must remain flat-printable (no overhangs beyond 45°, flat bottom face for FDM 3D printing, no supports needed on the underside). - Style reference: aggressive gamer-PC hardware aesthetic, angular, precise, symmetric 4-fold rotational symmetry. Output: STL-ready 3D model, functional part with correct hole placement and clamping geometry, not just a decorative shape.
