I have zero experience with 3d printing, but I’m dubious that a printed fan would be as smooth and balanced as you’d need for an efficient quiet fan without some serious/laborious post printing refinement.
Ready to be educated.
Edit: I realize that doing it because you can is entirely valid, I’m more interested in what the process would be.
I think it’s possible in theory but getting the setup needed to print with the proper materials and fidelity would be expensive enough to not be feasible unless you were doing it in bulk.
Its a large chunk of what this channel does. Most of the time the prince are either louder or less performant. But there have been a few that came close to the noctua.

Which is why they don’t mind releasing the models.

Heh fair catch. Damn speech to text. Lol always gotta double check.
I don’t think so
This made my night!
With resin printing, you can definitely get a nice clean fan blade easily.
