Fan blade repair

Here is the original text: Replace missing fan blades. Weird, it seems while they were remodeling these web pages my original description got lost somehow. Here's the same information again: One 9-blade 40mm extruder fan has a snapped blade, I dislike wasting a good fan so decided to attach an entire new ring of blades with loco's technique as found here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:351835 Since only one blade is broken, I'll use that part of the blade ring. The file named "blade ring.stl" was designed around fitting onto a blade hub approximately 21.7mm across. Blades from the end reach out roughly 36.5mm wide. One-millimeter-thick blades make up this fan's structure, print at thinnest possible layers and lowest speed available. After carefully removing required blade(s) I repositioned them for mounting, a gentle rubbing was given to surface attachment points prior to applying 5-minute epoxy securely.
