Summary

This thing allows you to mount a fan on the Valve index, to replace the frunk part on the front and to use the USB plug. This will help to pull out warm air from inside of the headset, not necessarily to cool down components but to prevent it from getting too warm and uncomfortable.

I previously made a 2 fans version ( www.thingiverse.com/thing:4565466 ) but this improves things in a few ways :

2 fans didn't feel necessary, it can make your eyes a bit dry if your fans are pulling air out too fast. 1 fan seems more appropriate (personnal taste, the 2 fans version still exists, feel free to choose !)
2 fans takes a lot of space and forced to craft an ultra-short USB plug to fit in, with 1 fan it's much easier to use a ready-to-solder USB plug
All the holes in the original design were potential leaks to reduce efficiency, so I filled them (I also did it on a new version for the 2 fans mod)
I was able to add a switch, to turn ON/OFF the fan whenever you want

And that's about it !

There's one version with a hole for the switch, and another without the hole.
