Creality Ender3 Hot end fan holder

thingiverse

The original Ender3 fan cover shines with excellent design, yet hampers visibility from the nozzle. This hot end fan holder is crafted to grant a clearer view of the nozzle, allowing the operator to easily monitor what's happening during printing. A bonus advantage: cooling air for the hot end is directed solely at the 'radiator', bypassing the heating block altogether. No alterations to original components are needed. You will require longer M3x18 bolts and nuts for the radial fan. The original CAD file can be found in OnShape. Assembly drawings were made possible by the newly available CAD files from Creality. A slotted version has been added: Magnurz's feedback led me to realize that the cooling nozzle (original Ender3) was too close to the print bed for him. I've incorporated a slotted variation, which allows for a slight adjustment upwards (2.5 mm).
