8CM Computer Cooling Fan Guard - Fan Protection

thingiverse

Upgraded my trusty 3D printer with a beefier fan, specifically an 8cm model, and now I'm able to craft a Computer Cooling Fan Guard that's truly effective. To bring this project to life, I relied on PLA material, set the extruder temperature to 200C, and maintained a bed temperature of 80C - all while keeping the fan at a steady 25% after reaching 2mm. The old fan was an absolute nightmare, producing such loud noises that working in the same room became virtually impossible. In contrast, my new super silent setup is a godsend, not only is it incredibly quiet but it's also delivering better cooling results and providing more airflow - making it a must-have upgrade for any 3D printer enthusiast. To make things even easier for fellow makers, I've included the SolidWorks part in case anyone wants to give their printer an upgrade or swap out the existing fan.
