If you have a Super Micro 3U case, SC836 or similar, you can destroy the existing metal fan wall and insert this to have 2 120mm fans instead of the stock fans.

Useful if you have a want to fit a 120mm or 240mm radiator into the case, or if you're just attempting to make the unit quieter overall.

The model is broken into two halves so that it should fit on a medium sized printer. Make sure the pieces are oriented so they're flat on the print bed, and no supports should be required. Note that the pieces are not identical, because there are notches which are meant to mate with leftover tabs on the chassis.

When you do the assembly, you can apply glue or weld the pieces together, however the screws that hold the fans in the middle will also hold the entire piece together.

I haven't actually mounted a 240mm radiator, but the spacing should be standard. You will likely want to measure before mounting.

There's not anything directly connecting the wall to the case. It's just held in with friction. If you leave the tabs on the chassis as pictures, they should fit snugly.

Removing the stock fan wall will be rather challenging. I used airplane snips.
