Fractal North XL Top Air Deflector

The design by Rod gave me the idea to construct an upper air duct for the front fan of my Fractal North XL

The basic design was scaled accordingly to fit the 140mm front fans, and corresponding holes (Ø5.5mm) were added

There are two versions, 42mm and 68mm. This corresponds to 30% and 50% of the fan diameter respectively

This dimension indicates the length of the fan overlap, effectively how much of the airflow is redirected

Especially when using a top-mounted 360 AIO, I was not 100% satisfied with the North XL's ventilation concept

With the two different air ducts, the airflow in the case can be positively influenced. See the "Installation Guide" for ventilation concept

Depending on your needs, they can also be installed differently to adjust the airflow

Of course, it can be used with any other 140mm fan

I used black PETG CF as the material
