Fan cover & fan grill to suit 50mm fan

thingiverse

Design a lightweight, easy-to-make enclosure to cover a large electric fan measuring 50 inches wide by 50 inches deep and 10 inches tall. The fan's original grille or bezel should be replaced with this simple covering system. To begin constructing the cover, use an electrical insulator material like Plexiglas, wood or MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) for the entire enclosure frame that completely covers the electric fan unit. Place four supporting legs on the bottom side of the 1/2 inch plywood board. One can choose various thicknesses, however this particular piece is at a decent width of three-quarters inches. Connect two more sections of 3/4-inch thick 7 foot tall plywood boards as end supports for the upper portion. This additional structure will assist in giving a complete top that matches the height of the side frame supports. Use the wood's top section and ensure they're aligned together so both the ends are securely fixed into place to avoid gaps. This entire structure should be finished with 1/4 inch plywood on the back, to conceal all cables as well as allow room for mounting a variety of lighting components that one would prefer. This gives an open framework with an opportunity to mount decorative fixtures like candles or fairy lights along it, producing a charming visual appeal. The completed frame can now be finished by installing 1/4 inch plywood pieces into every panel space and covering the entire fan structure using a finish like black enamel or red paint for an extra layer of aesthetic beauty. Once the construction is complete, this newly created, high-styled and functional item is now ready to serve as an excellent wall mounted fan decor while adding its very own personality style.
