The case....

This weekend I build the case for the holder. The ventilator should fit right into this case.  The estimated printtime is 12:37 hours....   This morning at 6:30 I started the print.... The start looks good.
Here is the item in Cura

And here the print after  3:08 hours and  15% done.
After 3:26 hours printing the print seems doomed to be a failure.. The infill (nr, 1 and 2 on the image) show that it would not stay on this part... That means that when time for closing the circle is coming it might have no support and will create a mess.   Also (nr. 3)  shows that the infill is not good and steady.....
After 4:28 hours of printing and 27% done it doesn't look better. In the parts on nr. 1 , 2 and 3 in the image the support has lost its own support. It hangs in the air.  Nr 4 shows that the infill in this part is still underperforming. I will keep on printing because the case it self looks still ok. And also when the print won't be 100% done I can use it for the purpose...
But after 5:19 hours of printing and 35% done I had to end the print.  The distorted infill could damage the rest....
I cleaned it and sandpapered the unfinished part.  The ventilator fits very good in it allthough I calculated the holes to high. But the item will serve for what it has to do. Blowing me fresh air in the face....
