MINIMAL Ender 3 Fan Shroud

thingiverse

I found the Ender 5 version by @Almarper when looking for a light weight Ender 3 fan shroud. I just had to remix it to fit my Ender 3. This design is 1/3 the weight of the stock shroud and gives a much clearer view of the hotend from the left side where most people mount their cameras. No extra screws are needed, just reuse the original ones. I do recommend using the stock screws to tap the mounting holes before placing the shroud on the printer. The hole tolerances are tight but they make for a secure fit for the fans. The nubs on the right side helps to keep everything in line with the stock mounting plate, and keeps everything fitting tightly. No force is needed to fit it on just slide it on from the right once the wiring harness is in place. Update 4/16/20: I uploaded the correct files with a few minor updates. I've also included an image showing manual supports that I suggest to keep failures down. I've been using this version for several weeks with no issues.
