There are no fan adaptors available in my country thus I decide to make my own. Its a 120mm to 80mm adaptor. Btw, its made of paper cardboard.

Never knew cardboard is that strong!

Welcome to the Forums!

Nice adapter. I had made one once out of aluminum. Never would have thought it could be done as well as yours with cardboard.

I've made one like that before as well.
I found that if you make the adapter too short, air will come out the sides of the fan (between the blades and the edge of the square thing)
It might just be me though

neve thought cardboard woul be able to support that much weight. I built an adapter about months ago for my dragon orb 3, out f plastic, and it works great
