Description
Please note: this was one of the first models I ever designed, over 10 years ago. I've not tested it since, but I can imagine that it has problems, especially with tolerances. Someone recently commented that it was good, so perhaps it's fine: Please do let me know in the comments, and please make improved remixes if you have the ability and find problems!
A dumb 120mm fan holder with some tilting freedom.
It snaps together in three parts
The fan base and cylinder snap together and are optionally held together by
glue. The cylinder is the most fragile as its little legs have to take the
torsion, however the amount of torque required depends on how much you scale
(or file down) the cylinder itself, or the base.
A mockup of a fan is included in the blender file.
Blender and STL files are included.
The cylinder and base have not been adjusted with any printer tolerance, and so it is likely that the cylinder won't fit once printed. I personally decided to file it down with sandpaper to make sure the fit was quite snug, but you could always scale the model on your own.
The fan base however has two models, where one has its holes adjusted for some tolerance.
