Summary

This is a bracket for mounting an exhaust blower fan within your computer case using two expansion bays. The fan can be mounted with the opening facing either side of the bracket.

The fan is a 96*33mm blower fan - specifically a Delta BFB1012H that I salvaged from an old Dell server. Using a speed controller or wiring it to run at 5 volts is recommended because these fans are loud.

For example, you should use a extrusion width of 0.5mm if you're using a 0.4mm nozzle (many slicers will default to 120% of the nozzle width, or 0.48mm for a 0.4mm nozzle).</p></div>

Post-Printing

The fan attaches to the bracket via two PC fan screws.
