Ball Joint Fan mount for Printrbot Simple

thingiverse

Taken from ei8htohms' Articulated Ball Joint Fan Mount http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:139984, revised to replace the cooling fan on the Printrbot Simple 1401. I had to cut part of the wood to make room for the clips that hold my hotbed together. The fan wasn't staying on the end of ei8htohms model I printed so I've replaced that cup joint with the bigger one. I've also included a 'middle piece' of 2x ball joint to extend the arm. Instructions Recommend printing the FanMount upright, as is, with support material. Ball joints print best upright I found, which is why the MidPiece is split in half. Use M3 bolts to fasten the PrintrbotMount to the top two holes originally used for your cooling fan. snap the ball joints in the cup joints on the Arms, then use a bolt and nut to tighten the arm. Sandwich the cooling fan between the hood and the FanMount.
