Cooling fan mount for the bottom cooling of the TinyG CNC Controller V8: a custom solution designed to harness the power of standard computer fans. By utilizing standard computer fan screws, the entire assembly can be secured with ease and precision. Two small tabs were added to facilitate mounting on any workstation or inside an enclosure, allowing for maximum flexibility in placement options. Built to accommodate optimal airflow under the controller, this mount provides a straightforward solution to ensure reliable cooling of your machine's critical components. With enough space for air intake and exhaust, this design maximizes heat dissipation by harnessing airflow beneath and through the controller as intended. The TinyG website serves as a valuable resource, with detailed specifications on screw hole locations and diameters. For those eager to get their hands on the finished product, rest assured that further modifications can be implemented if needed upon testing. Printed at 0.2 layer height with an impressive 75% infill for exceptional rigidity, this design leverages a standard 120mm computer fan while utilizing eight 10mm long computer fan screws with heads measuring 6.25mm in diameter. The clever design allows for the head of each screw to be recessed and stopped at an optimal point to prevent cross-screwing, resulting in effortless mounting on both sides without interference from adjacent screws. To accommodate a wide range of screw lengths, the holes for the TinyG Controller were deliberately designed to go all the way through, ensuring that they can accept any length of screw. The 3mm hole diameter, specifically designated for the TinyG Controller, may require re-sizing depending on your particular hardware. Two reinforced tabs have been included on the bottom piece of this mount for effortless attachment to workstations or enclosures.
