Anet A8 alternative 40mm Extruder Fan Mount with Hand Filament Guide

thingiverse

Here is a remix of two distinct designs: the Extruder Fan Mount with Filament Guide and the hand-held filament guide. To create this unique model, I combined elements from both original designs. The result is a functional extruder fan mount that also includes a built-in filament guide. The design process began by selecting key features from each original model. From the Extruder Fan Mount with Filament Guide, I chose the mounting system for the fan and the guiding mechanism for the filament. Meanwhile, I adopted the ergonomic hand grip from the hand-held filament guide. Once the features were selected, I began to integrate them into a single cohesive design. The final product is a compact extruder fan mount that securely holds the fan in place while also providing a clear path for the filament to flow smoothly through the printer's hotend. To test the design, I printed it using my 3D printer with the following settings: layer height of 0.2mm and an infill percentage of 20%.
