Description
NerdAxe Modern Stand — Engineered Display for Your Open-Source Solo Miner
The NerdAxe is a serious machine — a BM1366 ASIC pushing ~500 GH/s of SHA-256 hashrate, all powered over USB-C. It deserves more than lying flat on a desk. The NerdAxe Modern Stand gives your miner an ergonomic, airflow-optimized perch that keeps thermals in check and puts your setup on display. Precision-cut ventilation, vibrant color options, and a compact industrial footprint — designed and 3D-printed by D-Central Technologies in Canada.
Precision-Cut Industrial Design
Every line on this stand was drawn with purpose. The stylized ventilation slots aren’t decorative — they’re airflow channels calculated to pull heat away from the NerdAxe’s BM1366 chip. The ergonomic angle positions the board for optimal convection while keeping the display and ports accessible.
- Stylized ventilation — Precision-cut slots channel airflow directly under the NerdAxe’s heat zone
- Ergonomic tilt — Angled positioning promotes natural convection and improves display visibility
- Vibrant color options — Multiple color combinations to match your setup aesthetic
- Compact footprint — Minimal desk space, maximum presence
- Non-slip base — Stays put on any surface during 24/7 solo mining operations

Why Your NerdAxe Needs a Stand
A NerdAxe lying flat on a desk is a NerdAxe fighting its own thermals. Flat surfaces trap heat underneath the board, restrict airflow to the chip, and force the device to work harder to stay cool. The Modern Stand solves this by elevating and angling the miner:
- Improved thermals — Elevated positioning exposes the underside to airflow, reducing operating temperature
- Better display angle — The ergonomic tilt puts the OLED screen at a natural viewing angle for monitoring hashrate and status
- Cable management — USB-C and DC ports remain fully accessible without cables pressing against the desk surface
- Hardware longevity — Lower temperatures mean longer chip life and more consistent hashing over months and years of solo mining
Built For
- Solo miners running NerdAxe 24/7 on a desk, shelf, or mining station
- Hardware tinkerers who want clean, accessible setups for testing and modification
- Bitcoin maximalists who believe decentralized hashing starts at home
- Content creators showcasing their mining rigs — this stand looks as good on camera as it does on a workbench
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this stand compatible with other miners besides the NerdAxe?
The Modern Stand is designed specifically for the NerdAxe form factor. For other open-source miners, check out the NerdMiner/NerdNOS Modern Case or the NerdQAxe+ Modern Stand — D-Central builds purpose-fit accessories for the entire OSMU lineup.
Do I need any tools for installation?
No. The NerdAxe drops directly into the stand with a tool-free friction fit. Place the miner, route your USB-C cable, and start hashing. The whole process takes seconds.
Does the stand help with cooling?
Yes. The precision-cut ventilation slots and elevated angle promote airflow across the NerdAxe’s BM1366 chip. Compared to a flat desk surface, the stand improves passive cooling by exposing the board’s underside to air circulation. For a 500 GH/s device running 24/7, proper airflow matters.
What colors are available?
The NerdAxe Modern Stand comes in multiple vibrant color options. Check the product options above for current availability — D-Central regularly expands the color lineup based on community demand.
Is this 3D-printed? How durable is it?
Yes, every stand is 3D-printed in-house by D-Central Technologies in Canada. The thermoplastic construction is rigid, heat-resistant, and built to support the NerdAxe during continuous 24/7 operation. These are made by miners, for miners — not flimsy consumer-grade prints.
Why D-Central
D-Central Technologies has been at the forefront of open-source Bitcoin mining accessories since 2016. We created the original Bitaxe Mesh Stand, pioneered heatsink designs for the OSMU ecosystem, and continue to manufacture purpose-built accessories for every major open-source mining device. Every stand is designed, printed, and inspected in Canada by a team that runs these miners themselves.
Give your NerdAxe the stand it deserves. Display your hashrate. Every hash counts.
