Lenovo Legion Go Fan Silencer

Hello,

This time, I had an irresistible urge to create a model of a Lenovo Legion Go fan silencer. The fan noise usually wasn't that bad. I know there are a few options to cover air vents to prevent the high-pitched sound, but this design is primarily focused on reducing fan noise in general. As you could already see, I created quite a few test models: P. From all of them, I chose the best one in terms of lowering sound capability and not raising the temperature too much. As we all probably know, every fan silencer increases temperature, and this one is no different. The temperature rises by about 3–4 degrees Celsius, which I don't think is too bad.

Oh, and the most important probably - the silencer is capable of lowering dB by 10 points, which makes a huge difference. I tested it using custom settings and the 17W option. TDP was around 24.4W, and it will vary from game to game. Let me know about your results.

It is possible to set the TDP profile so that it does not trigger a higher fan speed, which will reduce noise by 10dB. However, if we are at the 60°C threshold (because at +/-61°C it enters the next level) even if it spins at higher speeds, the benefit of noise reduction is greater than the increase in noise caused by the fan spinning at higher speeds.

It is super important to use the included print profile; otherwise, you may have trouble removing supports. For the main material, I used PETG and PLA for the support. I configured PLA support to be as easy as possible to remove after printing.

Don't like, don't comment, print :)
