MINIMAL Ender 3 Fan Shroud

thingiverse

I discovered the Ender 5 design by @Almarper while searching for a lightweight Ender 3 fan shroud. I had to remix it to fit my Ender 3 perfectly. This design is one-third the weight of the stock shroud and provides a much clearer view of the hotend from the left side where most users mount their cameras. No additional screws are required; simply reuse the original ones. I strongly recommend using the stock screws to tap the mounting holes before placing the shroud on the printer. The hole tolerances are tight but they ensure a secure fit for the fans. The nubs on the right side help keep everything in line with the stock mounting plate, and maintain a snug fit. No force is needed to install it; simply slide it on from the right once the wiring harness is in place. Update 4/16/20: I uploaded the correct files with several minor updates. I've also included an image showing manual supports that I recommend to minimize failures. I've been using this version for several weeks without any issues.
