Fan Mount for CTC & Makerbot Replicator Clones

thingiverse

The CTC printer lacks a cooling fan by default, causing issues for PLA prints. I resolved this by adding my own large power supply fan to the design. Mounting the fan is straightforward, as you can place it on the front, left or right side using the included 4 screws and bolts. Two of these screws are used for adjusting the height to achieve optimal airflow. During testing, I temporarily attached some duck tape to the print bed to accommodate different scenarios, as seen in my photos. One problem I encountered during benchmarking was a leveling issue, which improved significantly after enabling the fan from the start, albeit not perfectly. However, prints that are positioned behind the fan turned out remarkably well.
