1U Rack Fan Cooling (Customizable)

1U Rack Fan Cooling (Customizable)

Description

So, I have this little and tight Home Network Rack which cannot hold a lot of components and to maximize the performance and to cool my components (which always freeze when overheated) i‘ve designed this 1U Rack Cooling Unit. The three long legs which form the exact measurement for the length snd height of any 19“ Rack, is the mounting base for the airflow guide where you mount the fans. The reason the are not the same size is because I had these lying around from the junkyard, they still worked and I didn‘t want to buy any new ones. The first one is 80mm and the second one 92mm. Some things to keep an eye out for: - After printing, I drilled the holes for mounting the fans - Fastening them and putting them in place is pain, but it works… but you have been warned - For slowing one fan down, I used some resistors which can withstand the hold - Those three legs need mounting screws to hold them together - The Holes for mounting to the Rack are a little deep, and they are a small pain compared to the rest to mount. - Used a simple 12V Powersupply to power those two Fans - To keep dust out of my shelf, I turned the whole print 180 degrees so the it takes air from below This Project has al lot to improve like preset Air Guides, other mounting holes, predrilled holes, other Rack Mounting Design, 120mm Fan Air Guides, etc. Hit me up if your interested in redesigning it (CAD Files) or improving it. Screws used: 4x M3-40 Screws 12x M3 Nuts 8x M3-20 Screws Neutrik Plastite A-Screw-1-8
