Alternative/Replacement Fan for EON

Hey, do you have the files available for the 3d print you used here?

@scdesigns see the link in @javier-alba message.

@javier-alba what material did you use? And what ‘Infills’ percent? Sorry, I’m new to 3D printing. I found several 3D printing online services, but they ask too many questions

@DenisBY PLA, and 30% of infill

Argon Eon Noctua Fan adapter and Air Duct

Hey All, I found the original fan noisy, so I was looking for a way to replace it with a Noctua Fan, I stumbled on a Reddit page where someone made a fan duct for the original fan using laser cut acrylic, he provided the lightburn file, which I modified to adapt and fit 2x 40mm noctua fan, I sent the file to a very friendly eBay seller who’s link will be left at the bottom. I connected the fan to the Gpio pins at the back of the argon eon to utilise the PWM feature but you can do it whichever w…

Take a look at this for those that don’t have a 3d printer or want to use noctua fans

I’m running HA OS on my EON and couldn’t get the automations to work so I opted for this solution for a quieter fan:

60mm Noctua 5V Fan mounted on 25mm brass stand-offs and blowing upwards.

Because I can’t get anything to work to Throttle the Fan, I used a USB power supply that is tunable. I removed the larger knob to allow it to fit easier.

I was running at 38DegC with minimal Fan speed but I have turned it off now and it’s running at 40DegC.

I ran it for a while with full fan and it only dropped the temperature to 35DegC so I think an outside fan blowing onto the area around the Ports would be better to cool the CPU.

Edit - I tried the external fan idea and the CPU drops to 27DegC !
