Printrbot Plus 1306 Aluminum Geared v2 Extruder Mount with Cooling Fan

I have extensively upgraded my original Printrbot Plus, which is now roughly equivalent to the Printrbot Plus v2.1, or 1306 version. I wanted to install a Geared v2 extruder on my printer but discovered that the only mounting kit available was a laser-cut plywood kit that is no longer in production. This design is essentially a 3D printable replacement for that kit, with modifications made specifically for the fan mount. The Mounting bracket and Cooling fan bracket were both printed using PETG at 60% infill with a layer height of 0.12mm. The Mounting bracket was printed without supports, with its top surface resting on the print bed. Similarly, the fan bracket was also printed without supports, with its fan mounting surface positioned on the bed. I've been experiencing issues with my extruder fan constantly moving and rattling around, so I designed a part that fits into the extruder bracket to hold the extruder fan firmly in place. A recess in this part accommodates the mounting screw located in the upper left corner of the fan. This part was printed using Amazon TPU at 0.2mm layer height. https://a360.co/3emSwT5 https://a360.co/2K2JXio
