#Rotor, there is no gap between the block and the cone, I was also thinking about making chanells a little spiral, but how on earth could I do that, for something like that I would need like 5 axis cnc mill
Jessfm, that block looks awesome too, great job m8
Morphling, on second thought, that block may work extremely well.

Going over some reading, it's clear that your pyramid is approximating the heat dispersion pattern of a solid block.

If anything, I'd consider a half sphere as an alternative, with fins and all... (Is that a good machining challenge? )
