How to cut 10c GPU temp and 15c CPU temp with airflow ducts

Great, now I just need me a £1.3k 3D Printer and I'm sorted! 
Seriously though, that's pretty cool stuff. I've done dodgy cardboard ducts before when I had my first powerful computer and had the energy to tinker so much. I don't think it'd make much difference to my current case and would interesting to see the results of this type of custom airflow channels on other cases before trying it out.

I remember doing something similar with this...

Having two 60mm and a 80mm spinning at 4200rpm made a proper racket.

I did something similar a couple of years ago, but with simple flat plastic sheets instead of 3D printing:
It works well enough that I don't even need a fan on the CPU heatsink.
Servers and OEM PCs use ducting like this too. The downside is that it only fits one combination of case/motherboard/heatsink. Any changes, and the duct might have to be adjusted to fit properly.
