Fan mounts for Flashforge, CTC & Makerbots

thingiverse

I highly recommend the addition of extra cooling fans when using a PLA printing setup to significantly improve print quality. This results in far crisper, sharper prints as well as boosts bridge-printing abilities dramatically. After testing several 40mm fans mounted directly onto the print head, I wasn't too impressed due to increased weight affecting carriage movement and also hampered my view of initial print layers. So, instead I attached a basic computer fan to the front side using sturdy duct tape - the result exceeded all expectations! To provide this option for users, I've designed both single and dual configurations tailored to meet unique requirements. Single Fan Versions: Makerbot Version - Compatible with the popular Makerbot Dual, Rep2, and 2X models. FlashForge Version - Suitable for the creator Dual and CTC dual models. This specific design boasts a built-in hook which eases printing significantly. Once printed simply detach it and use without any complications!
