The 200mm Noctua NF-P20 PWM running at full speed is the best fan I have found to add quiet cooling. https://noctua.at/en/products/fanI managed to print a single piece fan shroud from polycarbonate (PC) - which means that I can most likely also print it from fire retardant PC once I get some. The fan shroud is tied to the Apollo fan grill and the 200mm Noctua fan is powered using the fan connector on the Apollo. By using the Y-adapter that comes with the Noctua 200mm fan (and cutting the third cable on the Y-connector arm with 3 cables), the stock fan can continue to run with variable speed, while the Noctua 200mm fan runs at full speed all the time. Once I get some of the 6-pin power connectors, I will splice the power cables so that the auxiliary 200mm fan gets powered by the main 12V power of the PSU (for extra redundancy).  Inserting and tightening the cable ties is tricky, but doable.  The Noctua 200mm fan keeps the ASIC temp at 58degC in 27C air temperature, with the stock fan running at 3030rpm.   Here is the OpenScad code if someone wants to play with it (it's probably full of non-manifolds and other esoteric critters, but PrusaSlicer renders the resulting STL file without problems) : $fn=200;

Recommended printing material is PolyMax PC-FR (not yet tested, but it prints well with Polymaker PC-Max, which is supposedly similar) https://us.polymaker.com/products/polymax-pc-fr |
