Printrbot Play Fan Mount 2.0

thingiverse

UPDATE 1/6/16: OUT OF BETA A fresh direction unfolds for the PB Play fan mount, surpassing all previous designs in performance. The creator is proud of this masterpiece and invites others to enjoy it as well. Printed on a Printrbot Play with optimal results, the mount's capabilities are limitless when fitted correctly. Longer screws can be obtained at local hardware stores to perfectly hold fans in place. In addition, a hex screw is required from the shroud as a set screw to stabilize the UBIS (unneeded in this instance). A slight modification brings exceptional benefits - turning the fan mount about 45 degrees offers better airflow by not directing the flow against the X gantry. Enhanced visibility during extrusion makes it even more useful. This design merits experimentation and users are urged to contribute feedback as well as photos showcasing its utilization. Be sure to explore further details outlined below. Print Settings Brand: Printrbot Model: Simple Black Settings Rafts: No Supports: Yes Resolution: .1mm Infill: 100% Notes: To maintain the mount's stability, a skirt is essential as it keeps everything in place. However, if utilizing a zebra plate like this designer, you might find an additional skirt unnecessary. As indicated in the picture, ensure the part prints upright before installation for maximum efficiency. Also note that precise trimming of loop areas with an exacto knife may be required, accompanied by the removal of tiny material imperfections resulting from tight tolerances. Don't worry - these minor hitches are common within 3D printing; merely a challenge worth overcoming for your newly mounted fans!
