3D printed upgrade for an old 80*25 fan v1.1

This is the next step of my fan-upgrade project: https://grabcad.com/library/3d-printed-upgrade-for-an-old-80-25-fan-v1-1-1. The goal of this project is to breathe new life into an old noisy 80*25mm fan commonly used in computers and other electronics. To achieve this, I propose cutting the central holding plate (motor legs) off your loud 80mm fan and attaching it to a central pad on a 3D printed body using double-sided adhesive foam (tape). This foam will absorb the fan's vibrations, allowing you to create a new silent turbine-blower for your projects. In this version, I've optimized the model for FDM 3D printing, dividing it into two parts (main body and cap) that can be glued together with acetone or superglue. I've also added fixing holes, designed for 92mm standard fans, as well as made the outblow hole deeper. Future versions may include additional improvements once I have one printed. Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments or ask a question. I'm eager to discuss this idea and explore ways to implement it. Thanks to Slartibartfast for creating https://grabcad.com/library/pc-fan-80x25-mm-1, which I used as reference for renders and dimension measurements. Great work!
