    so was trying to figure out how to mount the jrks and cool them at the same time so decided to use my 3d printer and make a mount for both the fan sits above the jrks and so hopefully this works.

    Ive included the stl its for a 140mm computer case fan if u better the design please share

    may need spacers though

    It is always such a relief and sense of achievement when you first get your sim fired up, well done :thumbs

    It is hard to tell from the angle but it looks like you could allocate a bit more sway.
