Saw this today and thought it was worth sharing http://edgeup.asus.com/2016/08/23/introducing-asuss-3d-printable-parts-motherboards-gpus-peripherals/
seems Asus is actually sharing the source files for various printable parts so they can be modified. and it's all free. for instance here is a fan mount/gpu brace for the Sabertooth Z170 board
this is one place where a working knowledge of CAD and a 3D printer could make DIY modding and customization very interesting. also a low cost way for custom builders to create a unique product without breaking the bank producing low quantities of pieces.
write up says there are actually places on the board to mount the add-on pieces with screws the same size as M.2 mounting screws. so this has been planned for a while now if the boards already have mounting points on them.
