Introduction: A Fan's Unfortunate Demise

In the sanctum of my DIY workspace, the lamentable demise of a once-sturdy 12V PC fan echoed a poignant tale. An unintentional encounter with my soldering iron left its blades shattered, rendering it a feeble wobbler. This marked the genesis of a quest for a robust replacement and a reimagining of my fume extractor setup.

Section 1: Seeking a Suitable Model

Embarking on a digital expedition, I scoured Thingiverse for a functional 3D model to serve as the cornerstone of my reconstruction. The discovery held promise, yet transitioning to a larger 140mm fan prompted a meticulous reassessment of dimensions.

Section 2: Noctua's Silent Promise

In the pantheon of PC cooling, Noctua's NF-A14 industrialPPC-3000 PWM Fan emerged as the paragon of reliability and silent operation. Choosing it as the vanguard for my revamped fume extractor ensured not only a robust solution but a quiet ally in the battle against soldering fumes.

Section 3: Redesigning for Harmony

Initial attempts to scale up the chosen model revealed disheartening spacing issues and an unsatisfactory airflow pattern. A pivotal moment beckoned—a redesign. Delving into the labyrinth of airflow dynamics and noise characteristics, I drew inspiration from some research. The decision to pivot to concentric circles over the original honeycomb pattern promised not only improved efficiency but an aesthetically pleasing transformation.
