Corsair Ring Fan??

I wonder whether 3D printed diffusers would be an option for HD120 RGBs in the meantime... *Goes to poke at that*

 

Ends up directing diffusion primarily between the layers of the print, so creats a line effect instead of a "bright dot". Kind of nice, but not what I was hoping for.

 

Hmmm... Maybe if I sand it...

 

Edit: Slightly better. Creates about a 1cm lighted area instead of the hard spot.

O.O

 

It's still a sad comparison to a true ring. Two fans in the case, the top one has the printed insert, and the bottom normal for comparison. (And I only printed one diffuser insert*).

 

(* Which is not actually true. I printed a test that was too thick to clear the fan, then printed a 20mm deep one that sticks out of the inner ring, originally with the plan to have a flange, and then a 13mm deep one that is installed, with one failed print in between.)

 

I have a few more things I may try doing in the diffuser design that might help. We'll see.
