About this print
A fan duct and shroud designed to fit over the 60mm power supply unit fan on Ender 3 printers and compatible machines, including the Geeetech A10 and Alfawise U30. It channels airflow to reduce operating noise from the PSU fan during print sessions. Used by hobbyists seeking a quieter printing environment. PLA is a suitable choice for this part, as it holds its shape adequately in the low-heat environment around a printer power supply.

This is improved remix of https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4251317 = cutted out useless centre and fixed the height of the inner fins (rungs).
Faster printing time about 15 %! Using less material and less supports (only touching buildplate)
I measured noise reduction about 7 db!
Support: touching buildplate; Infill: 15%. Print it on its top side down.
Compatible with Ender 3 and similar printers (60 mm fan) - Alfawise U30, Alfawise U30 Pro, Longer LK4, Longer LK4 Pro, Geeetech A10, ...
INSTALLATION NOTE (by Jimbo\_Jones\_): A word of advice for the installation. Remove only one screw at a time, starting with the upper left one then rotating the duct up so that you can access the second screw. Otherwise the fan will fall into the power supply. The two sections where the screws go in are quite thin, this is to make sure you have enough thread on the existing screws to install the cover (no need for new screws!).
