Lulzbot Mini Part Cooling Fan

thingiverse

As any owner of a Lulzbot mini can tell you, this model of printer could do with more part cooling. Since a good friend of mine has one of these fine machines, I decided to make an upgrade for him :) This requires you to get your hands on another 40mm 24V DC fan, and it requires a bit of soldering to connect both fans together (you need to solder them in parallel). Don't repeat my mistake, but instead test which lead is which for each of the fans separately before you solder them together, as you unfortunately cannot trust any color-coding the cables might have. Since this part will be exposed to hot air for a prolonged amount of time, it's probably best to either print this in ABS, or to temper a PLA print (there's resources online on how to do this, mine is tempered in a hot water bath). (I've included the .blend file I made this with for easier modification. Yes, I made this in blender. I'm sorry)
