60mm Fan Adapter for Printrbot Simple

thingiverse

Replace three parts (yielding four pieces) with this set for a 60mm fan adaptation; drill holes as needed since each fan mount differs. The fan position is higher than the original 40mm, requiring top-mounted fan installation and two copies of fan brackets for adjustment. The 40mm fan need not be replaced unless upgrading to a more powerful one. Using a damaged original fan socket as inspiration, this adapter fits snugly with proper printer calibration or minor sanding/filing adjustments. Print one of each part except two fan brackets. Assemble the fan swivel and brackets as in originals, then fit them onto the 60mm Fan Base, possibly requiring shaping and adhesive for a secure hold. Mount the fan on top of the brace, aligning screw holes to your specific fan design. Use a drill bit smaller than screws for better grip, and attach the fan; ensure your electronics can handle the change to avoid damage or voided warranties.
