Vertex 50mm top fan mod

Hey guys, i got tired of listening to a turbine engine with the stock fan and decided to do my own little mod.
With this mod at fan speed 100% i can’t even hear the fans during a print. (depends on fan used) :smiley:

Yep, here ya go: thingiverse.com/thing:1346840 i recommend a fan capable of 16 cfm or more, less will result in lack of cooling for fast prints.

This is a newer design, it greatly improves airflow.

which fan did you choose? I’m having problems finding a 50mm fan that will shift that much air (and remain quiet)

Well i found one that can do 18.something cfm, but its a little noisy i must say…

So not so quiet then?

Really depends on the fan you choose. at least you will have more options this way.

Looks great - any tips which fan to get?
