2024 UPDATE: NOT RECOMMENDED, THE FAN MAY FALL OUT OF THE PRINTED HOUSING, SEE COMMENT
This is based on a 5015 housing posted in the Voron Discord by René/Unbruts#0484 which in turn seems to be (not sure on that) based on the Stealthburner rehousing by Smolboi.
However I found out that the RLF fan didn't fit into the 5015 housing and also the Stealthburner rehousing didn't fit into my stealthburner so I had to modify the part where you snap the RLF bearing into the printed part and basically redone the whole shape of the rehousing.
The upper half of the fan can be easily removed as it's held by some latches. However the lower part of the case is glued? to the actual fan and won't come off. You will have to carefully cut away the whole housing until there is just the PCB and the brass part containing the bearings left.
The brass part then has to be carefully pressed into the printed part. Try to turn the fan by hand after pressing it in, if you notice that something is grinding instead of a smooth rotation (you will notice some resistance by the magnets, that is okay) try to pull a bit on the fan blades until the bearings get in place. Then it should be smooth again.
Please note that the tolerances are pretty tight on the printed part for the brass part to fit. You may have to adapt it, please let me know.
