Description
Jared,
I see that there is a panel available for 80mm fans. Would you be able/willing to adapt to create a similar one for 120mm fans? I have several Noctuas laying around that I'd like to put to use rather than purchasing new 80mm fans. I also think that it will be nice to get air flowing full-width of the rack with two side-by-side 120s. They are admittedly just a tad too wide for the rack when side-by-side, but it looks to me like this could be accounted for by either including standoffs in the model so that they can be mounted on the inside of the case OR just mounting them on the outside of the panel. (If that wasn't clear, I can try to draw what I am describing and attach it to this Issue or we can have a quick chat about it). This whole thing is an excellent project. I am in the middle of printing the drawer now and really excited to get my homelab set up all tidy.
Cheers and thank you for considering.

Research direction
Start by locating the existing 80mm fan panel and comparing its rack mounting and dimensions with the requested 120mm fans. Resolve whether the fans mount inside with standoffs or outside the panel, and confirm that two side-by-side fans fit the rack. Done means a printable 120mm panel model supporting the requested full-width airflow.
