That is correct.
Actually, the shroud is not 3d printed though.
It is machined from a big brick of PA6GF30.
I will get back to you with part numbers and pictures of the motor unit.
Here is an example.
But the blade and the motor units are not sold separately.
So you have to purchase the whole unit.
But you can find motor and fan only in ebay.
Maybe some other units that are not for W204 have the same motor and the blade.
Just choose the one with the same motor and the blade.

It is a perfect material for such an application as the fan shroud.
Maybe the only one.This is very stable at high Temps also at low temps. When you printed this with ABS over other Plastic your Temp Range is aprox 90-100 degres .at this point fading to soft struktur..Printing is in my mind no Option.Only cuting from one Block. And the Maschine has work 3-4 or 5-6 hours to work.I dont know exaktly.,Also 1850Usd ist not less but i found is a good price for a long term of Development.Respekt to Virage and Niibe
Thank you Markus.
You are absolutely right.
We made the shroud with 3D printing first, which costs almost the same, did not hold with the temp.
This shroud fits right on to the original radiator, I mean right on.
There are many after market products that are advertised right on or bolts on,
and they never did.
And I wanted it look as normal.
You see all those DIY level after market parts that look ugly and they are for little brats saying "Look at me".
Also, I am not making much profit.
I just did it for my customer who can pay for it.
The one I have sold is on a 500E that is being used daily near Tokyo.
Through traffic in last summer and had no issue.

I am interested. I will private message you now. Thank you.
An update to readers of this thread -
@virage has developed a beautiful product - a fan shroud that looks completely OE, made of OE materials. It is made to accept the w204/w212 E500 electric fan and fit the fan into a w124.036 car, replacing the mechanical fan and unlinking fan speed from engine speed. The benefits is better cooling air management at low driving speeds and potentially quieter operation.
The shroud is a two piece design milled from a single block of material. It is beautiful, but, unfortunately, I am not able to afford the price of this shroud as it stands for a production run of 1pc as it is made to order.
If this interests any one else here, perhaps we can get together and approach @virage and see what pricing might be like for multiple pieces. Thanks.
