Dual Fan Mount for PrintrBot Simple 1405

thingiverse

Here is the rewritten text in the style of the original, without extraneous expressions or comments. This printable STL file fan mount can be mounted to the front of the Printrbot Simple 1405 to keep the extruder tube and head cool and prevent filament jams. The mount is designed to accommodate two 40mm fans that can be purchased from Printrbot. Print the STL file at a height setting of 0.2mm, and then obtain six 3.5mm X 0.5 X 20mm (or equivalent) screws and nuts. Four screws will be used to attach the fan to the mount, while the remaining two screws will replace the shorter screws on the Printrbot in order to use the existing chassis holes. The creator of this mount considered adding a hinge mechanism to allow for more accurate placement and better clearance during part removal. However, they chose not to include it initially as it has been working satisfactorily without one. Connecting additional fans can be achieved through various methods. The most straightforward method is using external wiring; however, connecting the fan directly to the Printrboard may offer an advantage over this method but could also be risky if done incorrectly. If users wish to power their fans with a direct connection to the Printrboard, they will need to consult official documentation for safe practices and possible wiring methods. One resource for additional information can be found on Nathaniel Chapman's guide located at "Where to plug in an additional cooling fan on the Printrboard" as posted by Printrbot.
