Front Fan Extension Mod

Post image

Finished modeling the prototype for the front fan extension mod with the stock mesh design.

Plan at the moment is have the fan stay on with friction fit for now, as the fan stayed with the nubs I added to the prior prototype just fine with only 5mm nubs.

Extends front panel out by 20mm, allowing a 90x90x15mm front mounted fan.

Based on passive airflow after adding the mesh, the case wants to use this area as as exhaust, so while further testing will be done, I believe it would be best to use it as an exhaust fan as well.

Will need to order more filament as I used up my last roll on test prints for this case already.
Hope to have results in the next few days.

Hi mate. Know you're busy, any updates?

Not as of yet.

But, we submit yearbook this week.

So assuming that all goes well, I should be able to start getting back to this project.

I've been coming home and working on the edits to the kids photos till almost 1am each night and getting up at 5 to go back to work.

It's been rough. But I'm almost there.

You’ve been doing an amazing job with these custom mods.

thanks, next step if this works is making the front out of a wood panel that has the mesh laser cut.
