A 6-inch 3U rack side panel with an integrated mount for a standard 120 mm cooling fan.
This model combines the protective function of the regular side panel with active cooling. It is intended for rack configurations in which installing the fan on the side provides a better airflow path than using a separate rear fan panel.
Depending on the equipment layout, the fan can be configured as either an intake or an exhaust. The panel can also be combined with my optional airflow vent blockers to reduce bypass airflow and direct more air across the installed equipment.
For powering these 12cm fans i recommend having PoE capable switch in rack and using those PoE to 12V splitters, with 4pin to DC barrel adapter.
This is an alternative to the regular ventilated side panel—not an additional layer intended to be installed over it.
Printing recommendations
Material: PETG recommended
PLA may be suitable in temperature-controlled environments
Check the slicer preview to select the most stable orientation
Review bridges and overhangs before printing
Supports may be required depending on the selected orientation and printer capabilities
Use sufficient walls around the fan mounting points
Verify that the complete model fits within your printer’s usable build volume before slicing.
Installation and airflow
Confirm the desired airflow direction before fastening the fan. Use the arrows commonly moulded into the fan frame to identify its rotation and airflow directions.
Ensure that:
Fan blades have unobstructed clearance
Cables cannot enter the fan
The fan does not interfere with rack-mounted equipment
Intake and exhaust openings remain appropriately positioned
A protective fan grille is recommended where the blades remain accessible. After installation, monitor equipment temperatures and change the fan direction or vent-blocker arrangement if necessary.
