Flashforge, top cover fan rest

thingiverse

This replaces the top plastic/acrylic piece on the lid for a FlashForge Creator Pro and provides an opening with rest points for a 120mm PC fan. This is part of my ventilation system to vent ABS fumes out through an open window or external vent. I designed it so the fan rests on top rather than being mounted with screws, thus avoiding the need to attach the lid to your ducting system. An alternative version features holes all the way through for mounting the fan directly to the top. The holes are sized for 8-32 hardware. I initially worried about the strength of this design since it involves cutting an already flimsy top cover into two pieces. However, it ended up working out well and proved to be more sturdy than the original top due to added thickness.
