This thing uses parts provided from the Ender 2/3/5 part-cooling fan duct (also fits CR10) by xeVox. So go over there and check out their superb cooler. After finishing the Lightweight CR10 dual 40mm fan extruder holder Looking through all the beautiful cr10 setups you have created left me wanting some decorative and functional lighting on my own printer. I didn't want to add more cables and or any additional driver for the light so I ended up using one 12V 1W G4 led "bulb", see the attached picture. This light could then be connected to the main extruder fan output by splicing the cables. ---A bit of warning here!--- I'm NOT sure and could not find any specifications of how much current the CR10 can provide on the main fan output! After taking a chance thinking that adding 0,083 amp load would not hurt; everything seems to work fine. I've been using this setup for a couple of weeks now putting in around 40hrs. This is not a guarantee that it will work for you! Printing note The way the mount for the second 40mm fan is tilted will put it extremely close to the z-axis stepper mount! See the attached image. So if you have some modifications and/or use a taller fan, this may not fit for you. In the picture everything on the printer is standard except for the extruder fan holder. The fan is use is an Aavid Thermalloy PAAD14010B which is 10,6mm in height. This setup leaves about 1mm of clearance. Led note There are NO holes for the G4 led light. Thus, you will need to drill yourself and you will need to twist the legs of the led to align with those holes.
