50mm PU ventilation pipe adapters, connectors and fan adapters for cupboard ventilation
Description
This Project Involved Turning A Normal Household Cupboard Into A Safe And Cool Place To Keep Our Home Media Server. By Safe, I Mean Ventilated So That The Temperature Stays At Sensible Levels To Ensure The Long Life Of The Equipment. This Project Has All Of The 3D Printed Parts I Created To Achieve The Purpose And I Have Included The Openscad And Stl Files. If You Use Or Adapt Then Please Credit Me. I Use Normal Super Glue To Stick All Parts Together. Interestingly It Was Fairly Straight Forward To Ventilate The Cupboard But Doing It In A Quiet Way So To Not Intrude At Night Proved To Be The Main Challenge. I Started Out Using A 120Mm By 32Mm Blower Fan From Farnell But This Made A Whine Noise That Permeated Throughout The Whole House House And Was Very Annoying So I Had To Find Another Solution. I Have Included The 50Mm Pipe Adapter I Designed For This Fan Because Noise Might Not Be A Problem For You. The Project Consists Of Several Elements: 1) The Round Circular Vents For The Doors. I Have 16 In Total, With 4 At The Top And 4 At The Bottom Of Each Door. They Are Printed In Two Parts And The Ring Is Glued To The Top Of The Main Body To Allow It To Be Sunk Into The Door By A Few Mm. My Only Regret Is That I Should Have Made These 40Mm In Diameter Instead Of 30Mm. Pushing Lots Of Air Through Small Holes Means Some Extra Noise. I Recommend Playing Around With The Openscad Files To Make Them Larger If You Can. The Bottom Vents Are For Incoming Air And The Vented Air Is Pushed Out Of The Top. 2) The Vent Boxes Behind The Round Vent Holes At The Top Of The Doors. 3) The Extractor Fan And Baffle Box 50Mm Pu Flexible Ducting Hose - Ventilation, Fume&Dust Extraction, Woodworking (Search On Ebay Using This Description) Pmb1212Plb2-A.(2).Gn - Fan Blower, Pmb Series, Compact, 12 V, Dc, 120 Mm, 32 Mm, 1.01 M³/Min (Too Noisy For Me) Http://Uk.Farnell.Com/Sunon/Pmb1212Plb2-A-2-Gn/Blower-120X120X32Mm-12Vdc/Dp/1568499 160593 Heater Blower Motor Fan Air Con 12 Volt Tractor Spal 008-A100-93D (I Used This One) (Search On Ebay Using This Description) 12 Sheets 10Mm Car Van Sound Proofing Deadening Insulation Closed Cell Foam (Search On Ebay Using This Description)
