As my standard 5 cm fan died and I only have radial fans in stock I decided to remix the design work of Hest and Nestei to fit a radial fan.
To install it you will have to cut the Ty-rap that holds down the ribboncable closest to the mainboard and you'll have to remove the old 5 cm fan, save the screws! Use superglue to glue the radial fan to the printed part, fan side down, as shown in the pictures. When the glue has set the whole assembly can be put in place using, on the printed part side, one of the screws (these are 20mm though) from the old fan (or a 10mm screw will do as well). On the radial fan's side you'll need a longer, 25mm, screw.
Update 2017-05-03: After printing I found out that running the ribbon cable in between the duct and the printer makes it block the airflow... that's why I normally don't post anything I haven't printed and tested yet. So, v2 is here already:
- One version with the ribbon cable gap closed up, simply run the ribbon cable over the top of the duct
- Here the same gap is closed but I added a couple of holes and a bracket to run a new Ty-rap through so the ribbon cable running over the top can be held in place...
