120mm fan bracket for iStarUSA D400 Case

prusaprinters

<p>This is a simple bracket which is meant to fit a 120mm fan into the 3x 5.25 inch drive bays on an iStar D-400 case.</p> <p>It's 2021 and the 5.25 inch drive bay on my case wasn't doing anything useful so I created this.</p> <h3>Printing:</h3> <p>This is a pretty simple print. Speed and quality are up to you, but I chose quick and dirty as this is a functional part that's never going to be 'seen'. See attached photo for suggested print orientation.</p> <p>No supports needed, but you could opt to use them for the 4x recessed holes where the screws that attach the fan go.</p> <h3>Install</h3> <p>In each drive cage,there are 6 holes, three on each side. These are the holes that the 'blank' plates were secured to. They are intentionally undersized to ensure the screws have plenty to bite into. I used a lighter to heat up the screw threads for ~ 10s before driving the screw into the plastic. This slightly melts the plastic around the screw forming threads.</p> <p>The 4 holes where the fan is secured to the part are also slightly undersized. I suggest using the self-tapping screws that came with your fan to cut threads in the part before attaching the fan.</p> <p>I suggest installing the plate in the drive cage before installing the fan.</p> <h3> Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Prusa</p> <p><p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>I3 MK3S</p></div><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p><p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div></p> </p></p> Category: Computer
