Custom/3D printed PS4 Pro housing with holes for extra air intake

Hey,

Been googling a bit and can't find anything remotely like this. I do not own a 3d printer myself and have not the skills or know how on how to create/design what i am asking for.

I'd like to know if there are cases/housings out there for the obnoxiously loud ps4 pro so that you can put in a 120mm fan or something of the likes, to silence the machine and at the same time keep it cooler. I rather not mess up the original housing so it'd be nice to know if there are any models out there to download for this specific request?

Does anybody have any clue/idea and could point me to the right direction?

Thank you :)

The air flow has a reason. When you put holes in the case eine parts might not get cooles as the flow ist different. Those parts might then die

It's like when someone buys a car where multiple engineers have spent hundreds of hours and a ton of testing to put together a top-of-the-line machine. And then, some guy is like, I'll add a $200 spoiler to it. That'll make it better."

You can buy crappy engineered cars :) but you also get a thank you for your input, thank you.

My pro isn't loud, like the other person said the case has been engineered for moving the heat away.

I understand. What might be silent to some people could be interpreted as loud to others. It's all up to the individual. Anyways, it you have any information I'd be glad if you posted some. Thank you.

thank you for not using tools on your ps4 case to make a big dumb ass hole for a fan!

also i think a printed case/lid is worth a try.

The only possible way to make it lore silent would be to change the fan by yourself to a compatible one that's bigger and/or more silent. I've yet to see anyone do this but feel free to do your research..

There are actually quite a few mods out in the wild if you Google. Also, I tried to do research here but, I don't know what I expected. Thank you.

Try to find a replacement shell/housing and modify it to your liking.

That's what I'm trying to do. Seems non-existent.

Ebay may be your friend. I did find the bottom part fairly easily.
