E3D hotend groove mount with shroud

thingiverse

A single piece groove mount and fan shroud for attaching a v5 E3D hotend onto a Prusa i3 is available. This design eliminates rattling due to a loose fan shroud, provides a cleaner appearance with wire clips, and increases rigidity for enhanced print quality. The fan shroud fits the standard 30mm fan included with the E3D hotend. It can be printed without support. An update on 01/07/14 fixed an issue where the piece caused a slight angle in the hotend position by slightly opening the groove and pushing the shroud forward 1mm. On 03/02/14, clips were moved to the left side and combined with a mount from http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:168303. Any fan duct that works with http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:104688 should fit. It includes http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:262121, and edits can be made in TinkerCAD. Fan mount options are available at https://tinkercad.com/things/gVyfYbcaQdN-e3d-groove-mount-with-shroud and https://tinkercad.com/things/l2HswdO039D-e3d-groove-mount-with-shroud-and-fan-mount. For printing, PLA can be used at 20% fill with 2 vertical shells and 3 top/bottom shells to ensure sturdiness and quality.
