Anet A8 Fan Hinge

thingiverse

I was very unhappy with the original extruder setup on the Anet A8. Every time the filament gets stuck or breaks inside the extruder you have to disassemble the whole part. This is especially annoying because the screws for the fan also attach the heatsinkt and the stepper motor to the lower block to which the hotend is screwed in. Anyway, i found a few fan mounts here on thingiverse but decided to make on myself. This is the result. Please keep in mind that this is also a crutch solution to an inherent problem the whole kit has. I am only intending to use it until i upgrade the whole hotend to a better one with a more user friendly extruder.
