A mesh that looks like pages from a book?

[Trace]

Anyone know of a mesh that would look like the edges of pages of a book? I need to create something that will give me good airflow for Book Of Knowledge. It'll be the stuff inbetween the covers.

I want it to look as close as possible to a real book.

All I have come up with is using a bunch of straight pieces of plexi staggered vertically to give a look of uneven pages worn with age. I'm just not sure how the airflow would be for something like that.

Thanks,

maybe just use actual cardstock? or heavy posterboard paper? idk. lol plexi or styrene would work as well.

That's an interesting idea! +rep for the idea and for the super amazing quick reply

Sheet styrene gets a vote from me as well. If you could, you could maybe get some sort of radiator grill. Big ones have long fins that might look like pages. It would be functional as well if you liquid cool.

I say you make a custom grill. Stack polystyrene or similar material about half an inch thick or whatever works for you with spacers in between, so it looks kinda like pages of a book stacked together. Might be a little trick to do but worth it. Try to curve the out edge so it looks like a book too.
