This is an adapter plate to allow you to replace the stock custom 50mm fan in the Nintendo Gamecube with a standard 40mm x 10mm thick fan. I chose to use a Noctua 12v fan with it's low noise adapter for quiet operation.

I recommend the Noctua 40mmx10mm FLX 12V model:

The plate mounts to the stock GameCube fan frame with the original fan screws and then you use standard fan screws (that came with your new fan) to mount your 40mm fan to the plate.

Update Dec 8th 2020 - I have uploaded a new version of the GC 40mm Fan plate.

Version 2 Improvements over the original:

Remodeled from scratch in Fusion 360

Thicker front plate for more rigidity

Slighter larger Fan opening with rounded over edges

Screw holes have improved tolerances, countersinking and less slop

Overall more refined

If you don't have the ability to 3d print this yourself, please visit my webshop: http://retrofrog.net as I have them with a 3 pin to 2 pin fan cable adapter bundled with them for sale.

Print this flat side down. There are some countersunk recesses for the screws, however you shouldn't need supports for them, so I wouldn't bother using them.
