Description
These hexagonal housings mount a 120mm computer fan (or my dummy fan) in a shelf. They're designed for the center shelf of an IKEA BILLY bookcase, but they should work in any 19mm thick shelf.
There are two versions. Fan Housing Top and Bottom fit a 25mm thick fan and have a channel for the fan wire. Dummy Top and Bottom fit a 19mm thick fan and have no wire channel..
You'll need to cut a hexagonal hole in the shelf. A cutting guide is included.
I modeled this in Fusion 360. I've included the CAD model in .f3z (Fusion 360 archive) and .STEP formats. The fan surrounds are part of a large assembly in the CAD files. Portions of the CAD files are from this source under whatever license GrabCAD uses. Use the CAD files if you want to remix to a different sized fan or a different shelf.
This model is part of the FilaBilly Humidor Collection.
