Fan Mount Template - OpenSCAD / Parametric

thingiverse

Use this module as a starting point for your fan mount creations! This is a parametric object for creating a generic fan mount for use in your projects in OpenSCAD. Available values you can set in OpenSCAD: fan=40, // Size of the actual fan shell=2, // Size (thickness) of the outer edge, Fan Size + Shell = Outer Shell. holes=2, // Diameter of the mounting holes holes_offset=4, // Distance offset of the mounting holes from fan top/side edge height=4 // Thickness of the whole mount (Z) The STLs are EXAMPLES ONLY for some different size fan mounts using this OpenSCAD module, but they MAY NOT BE ACCURATE to your particular fan model. Instructions 1 - Using OpenSCAD, start with the "include" statement: include < Fan Mount - Module.scad > 2 - Declare the module with values (all are required): fan_mount( fan=40, // Size of the Fan shell=2, // Size (thickness) of the outer edge. holes=2, // Diameter of the mounting holes holes_offset=4, // Distance offset of the mounting holes from fan edge height=4 // Thickness of the whole mount (Z) ); 3 - Render! Tip - You can place it like normal objects to position it in your project like this: translate([20,20,10])fan_mount(fan=40,shell=2,holes=2,holes_offset=4,height=4); Enjoy!
