Description

Initially i did not see the original versions with one leg removed, and for the Max it can not have the forth leg as the LAN port is in the way. After printing and removing one leg i found the fan vibration to be resonating really bad and making a lot of racket. I tried other variants, but all were noisy, so i recreated this from the ground up and with three legs, as i was having issues modifying the original file, and designed it with the idea of printing in TPU and to have a separate outer shell to be able to add a grill and also add some more rigidity. All dimensions are the same as the original bar all the chamfering, but i probably should have made the legs slightly differently as TPU struggled with the holes a bit. The fan was not overly keen on staying in place without the clamp on, so i added a small drop of CA glue on each side wall in the middle just to tack it in, which worked very well and is also easy to remove if needed. The decrease in resonance and sound was massive on my unit and am very happy with the results.
