3D printed upgrade for an old 80*25 fan v2.40mm

This is third step of my fan-upgrade project. https://grabcad.com/library/3d-printed-upgrade-for-an-old-80-25-fan-v2-40mm-1 The purpose of this project is to give a second life to an old noisy 80*25mm fan often used in computers etc. The idea is to cut central holding plate (motor legs) of your noizy 80mm fan and attach it to central pad of 3D printed body with double-sided adhesive foam (tape) or flexible glue. Foam/glue will catch fan's vibrations and you'll get new silent turbine-blower for your projects. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbkBgs96iCQ * inlet fixing holes: such as for 92mm standard fan * outlet fixing holes: such as 40mm standard fan In this version I have made: * standard outlet fixing plate such as for 40mm fan * totally new turbine geometry for 40x40mm output (true D=38) * deeper contact pad to make sure whole impeller is fit and nothing rotating crosses out turbine plane. There may be more versions when i'll get one printed. Feel free to share your thoughts in comment or ask a question. I'd like to discuss this idea and ways of it implementation. Like to support :)
