Air duct for Noctua NH-L9i in InWin Chopin

[Kilrah]

Quick one, made a little 3D printed air duct to avoid hot air recirculation due to the bulge on the side panel of the InWin Chopin when using an L9i.
Haven't done any thorough before/after but I seem to be getting a good 10°C reduction in temps in my config, and also the overall system/case temp got lower.

The large gap between fan and grille allows for a lot of air recirculation. Drop this in and enjoy a nice drop in temps.

Looking good - Wish the Sentry 2.0 came with something like this. Excellent job.

Just did a HTPC build for a friend with Chopin and L9i, cool. Might get this.
I like the fact it doesnt need new screws, just slides over the fan frame.

hi there, is the STL file measured in milimeters or Inches? i dont know anything about 3d files or how to use them so i cant really check it myself, so i was going to get a 3d printing service to make me one but its asking if the model is in inches or milimeters and i have no idea how to figure this out sorry for bothering this thread seeing as its over a year dead at this point but i genuinely have no idea where to go for help on this.

Looks like millimetres - it was printed in the pics with

"Resolution:
0.2mm"
