Description

PDF

This bracket is designed to add radiators and fans on top or below your BeamCase in a strong and good looking way. It is available in 50 different versions depending on your setup. 

 

These brackets are designed to work together with the modular BeamCase SFF and BeamCase Sandwich

 

 

Components structure and naming:

There are 50 different versions of the external radiator bracket depending on the chosen fan and radiator thickness, as well as the chosen case version. 

Each bracket comes with an IFW number that indicates the compatibility (150IFW is used with BeamCase SFF and the others with BeamCase Sandwich versions).
IFW stands for Inner Frame Width and describes the distance between the Makerbeam XL profiles at the top, front and bottom. The IFW number is an indicator of the width of the case and is important when selecting accessories and case panels. 
Each file also has a height number, which indicates the clearance for fan and bracket. So a standard fan with 25mm thickness and a standard radiator with 30mm thickness have a combined height of 55mm and require a radiator bracket with 55mm clearance. 
There are brackets as low as 25mm which can be used to just mount fans without any radiator. 
 

 

 

Required Hardware

Screws and nuts: 

  • M3x16mm countersunk screws (4)
  • whatever screws are used with your radiator or fan.
  • standard M3 nuts (and optionally thin M3 square nuts according to DIN 562 together with these nut-positioners)

    I am located in Germany and buy my screws here.

 

Changelog:

  • V2, more adjustability for screw position and clearance optimization, to increase radiator compatibility. 

 

Print Instructions:

Before you print you have to orient the parts correctly, just use the auto orient feature in your slicer for that. Ideally print this model in a stronger and more temperature resistant filament like PETg or ABS. In order for the bracket to work perfectly it has to be printed accurately, so compensate for shrinkage. This print like all BeamCase parts does not require any supports. 

I adjust for ABS shrinkage by scaling the model to 100.5% (Bambu Lab P1S and Sunlu ABS) , but it depends on the filament and printer and print speed.
