Duplicator i3 80mm Fan Back Plate

<p>I wasn't impressed with the airflow of the stock fan on my Maker Select V2.1, and I had an Antec 80mm PC fan just sitting around unused, so I made this back plate so that I could mount the 80mm fan on the control box of the Maker Select. I used some slightly-longer M3 bolts to mount it to the control box. I used some screw inserts to mount the fan to the back plate. I got the screw inserts at McMaster Carr, here:</p> <p><a href="https://www.mcmaster.com/#catalog/122/3320/=15ctwg9">https://www.mcmaster.com/#catalog/122/3320/=15ctwg9</a></p> <p>I printed mine with eSun PETG, .2mm, 50% infill, just a skirt, no brim or raft. I forgot to add supports, so the overhang for the power plug wasn't so pretty, but it gets hidden anyway. I would recommend using supports if you're using PETG.</p> <p>I designed it in Tinkercad, and I'm very new to CAD. It's not exactly an engineering marvel, but it gets the job done.</p> Category: 3D Printing
