Male Fan Connectors

thingiverse

I bought fan to add to my extruder barrel cooling duct ( http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:8461 ) and wanted to run it from the same wires that I was previously running to the fan on top of the stepper extruder motor. Since I didn't want to cut the female connectors off of the two fan leads, I decided to design a connector that both pieces could fit into. The STL creates four of these connectors, you'll only need one. Instructions Print the dual connector piece. Both of my fan connectors fit right into this piece. Then I cut and bent a small paperclip so that it would fit into the red wire connectors and used another section for the black wire connectors. The leads from the motherboard were attached to the appropriate piece of wire. Plug in both female fan connectors. Run both fans simultaneously!
