A Simple Cover Grill for Standard 120mm Computer Fans Are you tired of the annoying whine from your computer fan? Do you want to give it a quieter and more elegant look? Look no further! In this tutorial, we will show you how to create a simple cover grill for standard 120mm computer fans using a 3D printer. The process is quite straightforward. First, you need to design the grill. You can use any CAD software like Tinkercad or Fusion 360 to create the design. The design should be able to fit snugly over your fan and have some airflow holes for ventilation. Once you have designed the grill, it's time to print it. Use a high-quality PLA filament and set the printer settings to achieve a smooth finish. If you're using a 3D printing service, make sure they use high-quality materials and settings as well. After the printing is complete, carefully remove the grill from the printer bed and attach it to your fan. You can use screws or glue to secure it in place. Make sure the grill is centered and evenly spaced for optimal airflow. And that's it! Your computer fan now has a beautiful cover grill that not only reduces noise but also adds an elegant touch to your system.
