It isn’t pretty (yet) but the first “replicant” here is finally complete.
Very good job @aBc. Keep in mind that this heatsink, in addition to being made of copper, which greatly improves conduction, has a better construction than the original, which if you look closely, is a thin aluminum base, with INSERTED fins, which worsens conduction compared to that they were part of the same block.
Maybe you have a few less fins because I bought a 50x50 heatsink and yours was 50x100, and in the manufacturing process it may have a lower density of fins, but don't worry, the original heatsink is ridiculous, I don't even know how it dissipates. And a heatsink with pipelines is only a way to reduce costs, an entire block of copper conducts heat much better.

Maybe this heatsink should be called "aBsink", if my bad English doesn't make it sound bad
