FanSwap140, 140mm fan grille/cover, plus REMIX

Introducing FanSwap140

This is a 140mm fan cover, mostly common in computers. Like the million others out there, it protects the fans from foreign objects and your fingers from its blades. This design tho, also allows to swap grille colors and designs without unscrewing it plus when covering two or more fans together (as in computer radiators), it features an interlocking design to make it look like a seamless unit.

It features:

• Modular design
  Mix-n-match colors, add modules for multi-fan configurations
• Easy grille insert swap
  No longer need to unscrew the grille and very likely, the fan, to change the design, the grille insert can be pulled out to allow to snap-in a new one
• Less screws for 2 or more fans
  The interlocking design makes some fan screws redundant, allowing for a faster and less painful frame swap, the end fans use 3 screws and middle ones use 2
• Seamless design for 2 or more fans
  Frames interlock together making it look like a single cohesive unit. But if you still don't like or want this feature, you can still print multiple single frames, I won't judge… much
• Maximum opening
  The main opening for the fan was made as big as possible to show off front frame lights of most if not all RGB fans
• REMIX
  Yes, you can have it your way, I Included .STEP files for the grille so you can create your own designs, a fully solid blank and a full hex mesh for each configuration
• Will it make a taco?
  No, it won't make a taco but if scaled up and printed in metal, you'd have an interesting grille for your steak and do some mean carne asada tacos

Here's what you need for each configuration:

• Single (140):
  • 1x 140FRAME

  • 1x 140GRILLE

    

• Double (280):
  • 2x 280FRAME
  • 2x 280GRILLE
  • 
• Triple (420):
  • 2x 280FRAME
  • 2x 280GRILLE
  • 1x 420FRAME
  • 1x 420GRILLE
  • 
• More than 3: print for the Triple (420) and add per each additional fan:
  • 1x 420FRAME
  • 1x 420GRILLE

Added profiles for each fan configuration with pre-applied support under the tabs only.

I created FanSwap as a way to mod my PC, what I wanted was not available and what I liked was way too expensive (CNC machined aluminum covers, anyone?), also the pain of changing the cover in a tight case, especially on radiators where the fan also comes off the same screws. Also, why did double and triple radiators never looked like a single cohesive unit?  

I'm very particular about things and spent quite some time designing, printing, fitting, redesigning, adding/removing features, adjusting tolerances, wall thicknesses, etc., hopefully my time and effort goes further than just fulfilling my needs, I do appreciate feedback greatly, thank you for reading this far!
