I actually made something like this a year ago. It didn't have the finesse of a 3d print, it was paper, glue and cardboard.. but i used 3 noctua airflow fans and i have it in front of my indoor trainer. It cools down my face so that i dont get sweat in my eyes.

I've coveted this thing ever since I watched your video. Where I live, there aren't many 3D printing opportunities but a customer of mine hooked me up with a place where they print parts for car and motorcycle customization. Went there, got the two parts made and... I came back home with a 3D printer they didn't use anymore, too small for the quantities they print these days. Now I have got that really great desk fan and I can dabble into printing too. Coincidences leading to good things! And that fan rocks. It blows *just* strong enough for a desktop use. You don't want a too powerful airflow, since when using monitors, one blinks less. Too much wind can then make your eyes sore. This bad boy does the trick perfectly. Thank you again for that great project, I linked it to many of my buddies.

I've been considering 3d printing airflow ducts to concentrate airflow in the places it needs to get, rather than just blowing indiscriminately into the case and hoping the GPU fans, for example, pick up enough nice cool outside air. Reminds me of the old days when I cut a hole in the side panel of my case, then used a truncated sour cream tub and some hot glue to duct outside air directly to the MC462A heatsink on my overclocked Duron in like 1998.

Us: "Fans are great for cooling off processors" Noctua: "But what if they could cool off people??"

I'm sorry but knowing Noctua, this is going to cost as much as a second hand air conditioner. I think it's kind of stupid, haven't heard of anyone asking for this XD

Cool design

Fans are my favorite invention, my favorite thing in all the world. My favorite is a late 60s Kmart box fan. But this thing. This thing I must have. I couldn’t be more excited about something.

The color palette of noctua could be called "the day after taco bell" so I would say that the color in my opinion is perfectly in theme.

I see the black fans moved back a quarter again. The meme lives on, they'll never release them.

I just got one printed myself. I like it.

Mate, that CAD time-lapse was awesome! I wish I could work that fast! :D

I'm starting to think that Noctua needs to fire all of their engineers and rehire since KZread can design/create their stuff faster than they can.

Awesome find, research, and implementation! The only thing missing was the Amazon fan smoke test as well to highlight how awesome this is. Thanks Major Fan Man 😂

perfect display of compression zones on fans.. A+

I'm not surprised that Noctua wants to make one. I am surprised that it is taking them so long. I've been making these style desk fans from 120mm fans for decades. Usually with an AC to DC "universal" power brick from Radio Shack (back when they were a place to get electronic parts) so that I could select between things like 5V, 9V, or 12V to control the speed. (Though a simple 12V and a variable potentiometer do the trick too.) Maybe tape on some straightened paper clips or cardboard for safety. A couple of big office-supply binder clips with erasers taped on for feet. Put those office supplies to good use! LOL Though 3D printing certainly makes them nicer. A kit from Noctua would be neat.

so cool! I was meaning to buy a fan to play around with the fan blades and now with this I bought two! :) (yes, Mr. Unger I'm very excited about this!)

Found you!!! The only channel I found who has done this sort of thing! I need this for a home made network server in a tight spot.

The high speed video of the CAD work is one of the coolest things I've seen in a while.

I printed it and very happy with it!

Printed a 140mm version from thingiverse. Love it! Seriously just a great desk fan.

The smoke tests look awesome. As the ducts are designed to increase the velocity of the airflow it would be interesting to know how much the air stream exiting the ducts pulls the surrounding air in and if that explains the design of the four grooves. Maybe doing a smoke test by providing smoke above the fan and placing a cardboard to prevent the smoke from going into it to visualize how the surrounding air is pulled into the exiting stream ?

I cant wait to start my engineering classes and start designing meducal equipment:)

That's super awesome of you to not only provide the STLs but also the SolidWorks file in case someone like me wants to modify it

Jetting air flow makes it go further? Holy computational fluid dynamics, Batman!

I thought I saw this in the background of a video heh. I've been unreasonably excited for the deskfan. Noctua showed the more finished version, it looks very different and really awesome

Based. Thanks for this. Printed and using it already. Love it!

Bought a "Frame" with the ability to slap any computer fan into it with speed controller and a usb power plug a few years ago. Very very useful, but I got it for flame control with the event of no power grid. Im liking the shroud compartments on that though, very keen.

Lustre + Honey = the ultimate combo!

This is becoming my favorite channel.

I live in South Texas--really hot and humid--so this desk fan would be helpful to aim at your mouse surface while gaming.
