Customizable Fan Grill Covers
Description
TOO MANY FAN GRILL COVERS! ==================== Latest update - 31th May 2021 - 7 new patterns (i'll update the zip files eventually) Mutli-color options (layer change or multiple STLs) for text/SVG files! Check the change log at the bottom for more info __I've uploaded .zip files with nearly 4000 pre-built STL files!__ They are optimized for 0.4mm line width (updated on - 21th May 2021) __Or you can use the customizer/OpenSCAD to make your own!__ If the customizer isn't working today, keep reading for a quick guide on how to customize in OpenSCAD. You can easily add text, a logo, change the patterns sizes, etc. without any 3d modeling skills. It only takes a few minutes. ---------- __Features__: --------------------- - __Standard Fan Presets or Custom Size__ (25, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 92, 120, 140mm) - __3 Frame types__ - __Over 30 different patterns__ (all customizable) - __Option to have a domed grill__ - __Option to have protector ring around mesh__ (full and circular frames only) - __Add Text or a Logo!__ (use any font, including icon/logo fonts) - __SVG File Import__ - __Multi-color export options__ - __or use one of the nearly 4000 pre-Built .STL files__ _Pro Tip: You can print the 'none' pattern and attach matterial to create a filter, or use it as a spacer._ Planned Featues: - More frame types - More patterns Let me know if you have any suggestions/feedback & please post a make if you print one! ---------- __Overview:__ --------------------- This was originally a simple remix of [Fan Grill Cover](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2335067) by [mightynozzle](https://www.thingiverse.com/mightynozzle/designs) that included an extra frame based on [40mm Hexagon Fan Guard](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2335067) by [agnoia](https://www.thingiverse.com/agnoia/designs) (Thanks to both for creating & uploading the original!). Since then I have added loads of patterns and features. I've also merged some patterns and features from other creators on this site. I've done my best to keep the options simple, so you can easily create custom a design but you can also change some advanced options if you want to have more control. I've also uploaded pre-made .stl files. The zip files are split into fan sizes and all files are named properly so you can find the one you want. There is a .zip with 30-40mm fans with "Pi" on them (the logo set is [here](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4868129)). Please be careful with the 'domed' files (Domed Full & Domed Twist are fine) as I haven't checked that they are all printable, the ones that are printable will require good overhang/bridging. I haven't exported the ones with logos, as there are far too many logos out there people will want. Scroll down to see how to add you own logo in OpenSCAD (it's really easy!!) If anyone is interested in the scripts I've used to bulk export via OpenSCAD command line, they have been uploaded [here](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4850992) with example files ---------- __Known Issues:__ --------------------- -Reduced frame doesn't work with any of the dome options -The text generator can use any font, so you may end up with a part that isn't attached to the frame if you don't pick carefully If using the Thingiverse Customizer, you can use any [Google Font](https://fonts.google.com/) ---------- __Credit:__ --------------------- - [mightynozzle](https://www.thingiverse.com/mightynozzle/designs) for the original! - [Pyrex238](https://www.thingiverse.com/Pyrex238/designs) The circular style frame was based on [40mm Hexagon Fan Guard](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2335067) - [agnoia](https://www.thingiverse.com/agnoia/designs) The option to project the fan grill upwards and create a convex grill, and some patterns are from/inspired by [Customizable Fan Grill Cover - Hacks](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4444645) - [elopus001](https://www.thingiverse.com/elopus001/designs) The text generator is from/inspired by [Customizeable Fan Grill Cover with Text](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3351216) - [Sislar](https://www.thingiverse.com/Sislar/designs) I based the code for the spider-web pattern on [Parameterized Snap Closed Box](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2955869) - [mbasov](https://www.thingiverse.com/mbasov/designs) The teardrop pattern is based on [Fan grill (Customizer)](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:71961) - [mikeleigh](https://www.thingiverse.com/mikeleigh/designs) The code for the Bio-Hazard logo is from [Customizable Biohazard Fan Guard](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2107374/files) - [brentb](https://www.thingiverse.com/brentb/designs) The Bahtinov pattern is based on [Bahtinov Mask Generator](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4613928) Thanks to everyone for sharing your designs!!!
