Description

Wanted to make a desk fan for a 120x25mm axial. This one may be a bit - overkill, but I like the way it turned out. Flow is laminar and felt well across the room.

 

Designed for the Noctua a12x25 with the dampeners on, but should fit most any 120mm fan. (Pictured here with a PowerYear 3000rpm) Minor known issue - the Noctua has 7mm fillets on the corners, and some fans may have less, and might need to be filed a bit more round on the corners. (There is not much room between the fan area and the outer edge, so I could not make it any larger)

 

One bolt will open it up to remove the fan.

Mounting linkage allows for -30/+10°.

Threads are 12x1.75mm and should work well as printed.

The gif included shows the fan going in one direction - is it possible to have the fan reversed and still fit in the model ok? I was thinking of printing it as a desk fan to keep cool.

Well you could as long as you could find a routing to get the wires to make their way out the slot. You could mirror the body of the model if they didn't I suppose. The thing is, it was designed as a desk fan already, just to exhaust efficiently, laminarly out the back. If you reverse it you kill all the good aerodynamics. But you still could. It just wouldn't move as much air.

Well those blades are actually ones I made for the PowerYear fan I had lying around from a thrift store purchase of one of these little cube air coolers. They sometimes have great 12v fans in them running on 5v. I cut the original blades and hub off and mounted those in white PLA. The blades are a variant of my XJ99C, https://makerworld.com/en/models/13193#profileId-13825
