Description
The AirCowl is a 3D printable personal cooling system that transforms a standard PC fan into a comfortable, wearable neck cooler. Perfect for hot summer days, outdoor work, or anyone who runs warm, this innovative design provides targeted cooling right where you need it most.
This project combines 3D printing with basic electronics to create a hands-free cooling solution. The ergonomic collar design distributes weight evenly around your neck while directing airflow for maximum comfort. The modular design allows for customization based on your specific PC fan size and personal preferences.
