Anet A8 Plus 60mm Extruder Fan Mount

cults3d

This is a mount that lets you swap the 40mm stock fan on the anet a8 plus with a 60mm fan, and bolts into place using the old mount. Either cut down your old screws, or buy some a shorter length, and attach this part to the original metal square bracket, then secure the 60mm fan to this part. (I used a 12v 20cfm fan). This lets you still use the two stock bolts on the metal bracket to remove this fan for access to the extruder, and offers a massive upgrade to cold end cooling which helps with heat creep, especially with an all metal throat. Add tape between this part and the rest of the printer to seal it and direct more air over the cold end heatsink, working on a flexible part to accompany this, but it won't be ready for a while. A ~4mm spacer is also required for the x endstop to prevent the fan from hitting the shaft coupler.
