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.

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.
