Printrbot Simple V2 40mm slide out Extruder Fan - Anti filament Jamming

thingiverse

Attempting to print the hinged version was unsuccessful, as my printer couldn't handle it due to mesh errors in Repetier-Host V0.90C. The older slicer version also failed after five attempts. However, attached files proved successful. Removing the fan was easy with a slide-out option, and 3MM hex head bolts were used for secure fan mounting, which may require reaming holes slightly. A cool fan on the back of the stepper motor kept it from overheating but still encountered occasional jams. Mounting the fan as described resolved this issue. Future improvements could include a bottom port for print cooling and a top screw for added security, requiring drilling into laser-cut wood. No bridging was required with this print, and it turned out great without brim.
