Anycubic i3 stepper motor fan cover

thingiverse

Remix of the NEMA17 cover by dellrio, added direct attachment of 40mm fan, no need for heatsink, I printing it in PLA, seems like it would be fine in ABS or PET. Made to attach a 40mm fan to and slide on over with space between the fan and motor itself. Using a USB 40mm 5v fan is doing the trick for me.

The stepper motor overheats alone but with just a bit of airflow around it does the trick. Plus the color change PLA lets me know a estimate of the surface temp of the motor and how well the "heatsink" is working. My links are linked to the products I bought myself and actually built this. I dont have affiliation with any of these companies, they just had good deals and I have had good luck with the stuff, so I pass along exactly what I did to make it work.
