60mm to 30mm Fan Mount Adapter

thingiverse

I could not get my printer to make a solid fan mount that stayed attached and secure to the heat barrel of my e3d v6 clone so I decided to make two adapters that attach directly to the stock 30mm fan mounts. These are specifically for 60mm fans. The PLA fan mount has an additional vent for PLA printing or any material that requires immediate cooling. The ABS mount only vents to the heat spreader. The adapter mounts with just two screws and I used a little kapton tape to seal any remaining gap between the mount and adapter. The ABS one can likely be printed on its bottom flat side though I printed both versions with the fan hole facing down. As long as you print them slowly they should print fine. I printed both versions in ABS though there should be no problem using PLA. Print Settings Resolution: 0.2 Infill: 10%
