Today I installed the fan filter retrofit kit into my revision 1.0 HL15. It was pretty easy overall. I think I spent more blowing out all the dust ahead of time. Looks to me like the filter will get some good use.
Did you have any more pics of the kit install? does this limit fan thickness alot?
Sure - here’s a few more. The fans are moved back and attached to a new bracket that also replaces the top front support bar on original HL15 chassis. It’s tighter than before but still simple space.
thanks, might be about to fit my 38mm fans in there still. Notice it catching alot of dust? I was thinking of glueing really fine screen over the plastic mesh
Mine just arrived, along with a v2.0 front plate. @Vikram-45HomeLab was able to organise a white filter insert to contrast the black front plate (and it looks pretty good). Hopefully mine isn’t as dusty haha!
I also installed mine today on my OG White HL15 v1.0!! My only “complains” (not a real one), is the screw holes now that the fans are not directly mounted to the faceplate. Might 3D-print some caps in matte white and maybe blue for the top ones
I was also thinking about 3D printing something for the screw holes.
Let me know if you find a good STL that fits well!
Same! I probably won’t have a chance to look until the weekend.
I want to say that I managed to install the retrofit filter kit with the Noctua inlet spacers and 25 mm thick fans.
I forgot to mention that I had to unscrew the 3d-printed fan cable holder, because the inlet spacer and the fan combined would prevent the fan holder plate to be fully inserted. This would not be needed if only the fans were installed like the upgrade manual assumes.
