<p>This is a 3D printed 5015 type blower/fan that is suitable for Prusa i3 or any other type of printer.<br/> I used a spare fan (<a href="https://uk.farnell.com/multicomp/mc36257/fan-40x40x10mm-12vdc/dp/1924856">Multicomp MC36257</a> with sleeve as bearing) that I had laying aroung and modified it to use it with these 3D printed parts.<br/> Included are 3 types of blades: radial, reverse and forward oriented that you can test and use whichever you like most.<br/> Also included are Solidwork files that you can change and model yourself.
