50mm blower fan mount

thingiverse

Two simple and straightforward ways to securely attach a 50mm blower cooling fan to your 3D printer exist. Originally designed for the Snapmaker, these options can be easily adapted to suit other printers as well. The first option features a backing plate that provides precise holes for fastening the fan in place, ensuring a secure fit. However, minor modifications to the hole pattern may be necessary to accommodate your specific fan model. Alternatively, you can opt for the second solution without a backing plate. By positioning the fan snugly over its outlet, it will remain firmly in place with minimal risk of movement or detachment. While slight adjustments might be required to match your particular fan's specifications, this option allows for easy removal if needed. To secure both options to the Snapmaker printer module, double-sided tape can be used effectively. Notably, printing vertically eliminates the need for supports, making the process smoother and more efficient overall.
