Review on 🌀 Enhance Valve Index Longevity with 3D Printed Radiator Fan - Optimal Cooling Solution for VR Games Headset (USB Included) by Jeff Strutz

Good details first. The fans on this thing are pretty powerful, and the item design that completely covers the front of the headset is a good choice. Cooling is impressive, and the dial, which can be turned from zero to maximum with a rheostat, is a really nice touch. The two magnets on the bottom half of the element fit snugly into two points where they snap into place. That's all I can do. I would say it's very friendly. Cons: - The price tag. It goes without saying, but if I want to spend 1/10th of the money I spent on my entire VR kit on an accessory, it has to be a damn good premium accessory. This thing seems to need about two or three more iterations before it's considered "final" in any functional form. I don't mind that this is 3D printed, but overall it feels very, very raw. - The absolute absence of the other two magnets in the top half of the article. I don't think it would be difficult to remove the heatsink here, if only with a little extra holding power for a better seal. In that regard, a bit of foam to seal the edges of the kit would have gone a long way. Due to the 3D printing, and I can only assume it's a crude design that hasn't been overly refined, the small clip held on the 'front' of the headset is particularly fragile. , and for me it broke as soon as I installed it, making it pretty bad to use this thing for anything other than a very basic game. I really like this fan kit. He works fantastic for what he is. But I just can't. For $100 I expect something fair. more complete than that. If it was going to cost around $40-50 or so I would do whatever it takes to fix the little bugs and modify it to better suit my preferences. But I spent 100€ for it. If I need to fix something to make it work as expected, it shouldn't cost that much. For creators, what you have is a good idea. I really like how this kit can be. But it takes work. Better sealing, less brittle clips, and a more affordable price make this a must-have accessory for the Index. However, in the current version I just can't justify keeping mine as the mount is broken and only two magnets are otherwise holding it. I will return it and just wait for the best version index fan kit.
