80mm Fan + Grid/Filter harness

thingiverse

I am building a sound-dampening enclosure for my Printrbot Plus, incorporating two fans for airflow. A robust and snugly fitting harness was required to secure those 80mm fans along with their grid/filter from within the 10mm thick box. The outcome is a firm hold with all components smoothly aligned with the exterior wall. The fans utilized are Arctic Cooling F8 Silent, available at https://www.arctic.ac/eu_en/f8-silent.html. The grid is supplied by SilverStone SST-FF81B, accessible at http://silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=269. It's essential to utilize supports during the printing process. Excessive screws were used to secure the fan within the harness; however, I already possessed these, so they were employed for this purpose. A design was created using Sketchup as a basis for this project.
