Printrbot Metal 50mm fan extruder motor shroud

thingiverse

Here is my first attempt at creating a functional and stylish extruder motor fan shroud. This design incorporates a standard 50mm PC fan, making it easily replaceable with most any desktop computer system's cooling unit. A versatile design allows this fan shroud to fit multiple types of extruders. Simply cut out the sections needed for your specific extruder model. Assembly is straightforward and quick. Attach the provided screws securely to ensure the fan shroud doesn't move around excessively. The PC fan will sit neatly within, directing airflow away from critical components while promoting cooler operation temperatures. Please note: this design may need further refinement to suit different applications, as various types of extruders and mounting configurations exist. **Note**: As with all printed projects, ensure that the 3D print's infill is dense enough to hold its shape properly. The frame and any moving parts must be made of materials strong enough to support themselves under normal conditions
