Polished the CAD

I got feedback from the awesome blueprint review team that I needed to include the electronics in my CAD, so I did. 
I added a actual model of a 120mm fan instead of just the blob with mounting holes I had designed as a place holder. 
I also modeled in a nifty channel to the side of the design to help hold the wire. There will be the leads from the 12v wall adapter going into the fan and this channel will help to hold them in place. I will feed them into the channel, then fill it with hot glue(it's the best I have) so that any tension of the wire can't be exerted on my soldering joints.
I also used my iPad to mark up the screensot so that you cane easily see what I'm talking about.

Renders!

Now that all of the cad is done, whew!, I got to render it out, which I always think is fun even though it's not a very complex part. It looks like AI, but thats just cause AI tries to make stuff look like renders, and I have the files to prove it!. I plan to print it out in orange PLA to contrast the black fan and filter

Redid the CAD

Somehow I lost all my cad progress and had to redo all of it. defiantly had me questioning my life choices. anyways I like fillets and feet so I threw those in, along with some holes for magnets so it will stick to my vise that I hold pcb's in. The pink is the fan, yellow is the filters and blue is the 3dp case.

The process. I first found the spec sheet for fan I'm using, then used the 2d drawings from it to create a basic 3d shape of the fan. I also did this for the filters. I then created a sketch that would contain everything, and had the slots for the filters. From there I revised the body, added filets, removing excess material, adding mounting points for the fan and adding 1mm filets to parts that I expect to be enlarged as artifacts of 3d printing(like the bottom face touching the buildplate.)

Basics of CAD

It has been a while since I've gotten to work in this but today I want to lock in and get it submitted. Right now I'm building out the basics of the CAD, which took a long time since I'm still pretty new to CAD and I was still figuring out how it would all fit into place.

Did research and the BOM

Today at school I did some basic research into existing DIY guides and created my own BOM. After looking at revies of a bunch of different 120mm fans I decided on the Arctic P12 Max, since the review I read said that it was very quite, and has good airflow.
