Antminer S17 Full-Wrap Dual 120 mm to 6″ Shroud

Description

Antminer S17 full-wrap shroud, dual 120 mm to 6-inch duct

An Antminer S17 shroud that wraps the exhaust end of the chassis rather than clipping to the fan face, and sends everything it gathers out through a 6-inch collar. The S17 generation has been written off more than once and is still hashing in workshops, garages and basements everywhere — this is the part that makes one of them liveable indoors.

The wrap reaches past the two 120 mm fans and closes the corner and edge gaps that a fan-face cone leaves open, so the exhaust goes down the duct instead of curling back around the chassis and into the intake.

Drawn in-house to the chassis end the Antminer S17, S17 Pro and T17 share, produced as one continuous PETG body, 303.4 mm across.

What it fits: the S17 and T17 chassis family

Built around the exhaust end of the Antminer S17, S17 Pro and T17 — three BM1397 machines on one 178 × 296 mm housing face, which is the face this shell is cut to. The shell is drawn with clearance at the chassis lip on purpose: these are hardware veterans, frequently opened, re-shimmed and re-gasketed over their service lives, and a shell cut to zero tolerance would fight half of them. Standard 6-inch collar on the outlet.

Different generation on the bench? The S19 full-wrap shroud covers that chassis, and the fan-referenced dual 120 mm to 6″ shroud handles anything with a standard 120 mm pair where no dedicated wrap exists.

How it installs

1. Slide the shell over the exhaust end of the machine, seating it on the chassis.
2. Square it up so the collar points where the duct wants to go.
3. Clamp 6-inch duct to the collar with a worm clamp.
4. Give the 303.4 mm length room behind the machine before pushing the rack home.

Why an S17 in particular benefits from a wrap

S17-class machines run with thin thermal margins and a well-earned reputation for heat-related trouble. The single most useful thing ducting does for them is separate exhaust from intake: a machine that re-breathes its own hot air is starting every cooling cycle at a disadvantage, and on hardware with little headroom to spare that matters more than it does on a modern unit.

A wrap does that job more completely than a fan-face shroud, because the spill it closes off is exactly the air that would otherwise drift around the chassis and back to the front. The trade is size — this is a 303.4 mm body and it is not a rack-shelf part everywhere.

• Wraps the full S17, S17 Pro and T17 exhaust end rather than the fan flanges alone
• Covers the Antminer S17, S17 Pro and T17 from one body
• Drawn with clearance at the chassis lip for machines that have been serviced
• Keeps hot exhaust from finding its way back to the intake side
• PETG shell that survives the heat this generation puts out
• Standard 6-inch collar shared with every fitting in the line

Specifications

Open source: the S17 file is free

Older hardware is exactly where open files earn their keep, because nobody else is going to tool up for a machine this age. The S17 wrap is D-Central’s own drawing, released under CC BY-SA 4.0 at the 3D models download center — download it, tighten the shell to your own unit, adapt it to a chassis variant, print and sell what you make.

This model’s card links the ZIP: the STL, the CC BY-SA 4.0 licence and the installation and safety guide. D-Central Technologies drew the shell, and adapting it to an S17-family chassis we do not list is exactly what the licence is for.

Buying here gets the finished shell instead, made to order in black or orange PETG and shipped from Montreal, Quebec. The file costs nothing; the order, or D-Central’s fund page, pays for the next drawing.
