VGA fan mount for x-carriage

thingiverse

This fan attachment complements the superb carriage design. It utilizes affordable and easily accessible PCB fans; I found them on eBay for just 95 cents each. I've successfully run a fan without a shroud on my current Mendel Prusa and plan to use two at either end on my new printer build. The holder features screw pilot holes, but I find the fan fits snugly without needing screws or adhesive. On September 28th, a shorter arm version was added for better compatibility with recent x-carriage designs. To install, simply print and hang it off your x-carriage. I'm using two of these attachments, one at each end. Print settings: 3 perimeters, 3 layers, 0.35 nozzle, 0.25mm layer height, and 25% infill with a 90-degree fill angle.
