I love that this is available, but $15+$32 for an Chromax A12? That is a steep ask. They need to just make a 30mm fan like the Phanteks T30.

That said I am going to order a pair to see how they work out JUST for acoustics sake because I am one of those people that likes to run fans on radiators in a pull config.

Something tells me it's going to be minimal improvement that may be imperceptible in normal environments. Not to say they're not a great idea, but if they were truly worth that much money, they'd have been invented by now. Most fan/radiator/pump/block etc advancements these days are incremental.

Pretty sure there'll be free 3D models available for printing exactly these in just a matter of hours after the announcement meaning theyre6probabky already up, and just give it a week before someone starts selling 3D printed versions of these for 5 on ebay.

Cant these just be replicated by 3d Printing? that price is pretty insane for a shim/gasket

They were invented years ago. They make a small difference. 1-2c, so not worth bothering with.
