Reply to "Request to Build: 1/32 emd SD80mac fans: Thanks everyone !"

the existing hole for the dynamic fan is 48.32mm wide or 1.902 inches.

the new center cooling fan hole measures exacly 1.4" or 35.56mm. I will add 2 more holes next.

Again, I can remake a new hole whatever size is needed. It would be nice to have the dynamic fan closer to the correct dimension, whatever that is.

The issue is, as you should well know, using carpentry tools on plastic can lead to oversized or elongated hole sizes. I have a 1 3/8" bit for the cooling fan holes. I just went to drill them and can't find the arbor. I left it wherever I did the last job and I'm ****ed off about that. I'm busier than I've ever been and I'm handicapped to boot. I'd like to spend more time and effort on making something to be proud of.

I consider myself a decently capable worker and try my best to do what's needed to get the job done reasonably. I have worked in many fields and with many different skilled people. I usually bend to work with their personality traits and just get the job done. When it's a toy like this, I just expect a decent level of quality and not perfection. So I state all this so you know where I'm coming from.

I didn't mean for anything stated so far, to lower the reputation of anyone getting involved in this. I realize with public posts, comes reactions from the sideline fans that can be less than flattering. I have been bashed so many times for attempting things that haven't come out perfect, and then wasting people's time trying to share the results. A certain G scale forum troller comes to mind for past attacks at my skill level. His true skills are yet to be revealed. His bullying personality has been.
