The original design had two major flaws. First, the back and front panels didn't fully cover the fan, leaving an aesthetic to be improved on. Secondly, the tolerances specifically for the standoffs on the plate were to tight (see below). Thirdly, the standoffs were a bit long and this reduces them by about 5mm

On first iteration of printing, my M3 screws bit down on the standoff the entire length of the standoff, resulting in a lot more thread grip than necessary and alot of heat and wear that just isn't needed. Additionally, those standoffs were thin. The first time I had to back out the screw, the standoff crippled with the screw and got majorly deformed (in ASA). I ended up having to cut the standoffs off completely and had to use a screw/nut combination to make it work short term - not ideal at all.

 

  • 3010 fan is still the fan

  • M3x35-40 screw is fine, I had 40s so I used those but they are long.
