PLA Cooling Fan Mount - FlashForge and Powerspec

thingiverse

I took muckychris' design and remade it from scratch. I printed his object and noticed that it didn't fit my Powerspec 3d Pro / FlashForge Creator / Creator Pro properly. The screw did not line up and the length of the top piece was too short. I also did not like the fan grills as it made it more difficult to print. My tolerances are tighter as well, and this is done by design to reduce the vibrations that the fans create. The less wiggle room inside the mount the fewer vibrations. Lastly, I increased the tilt a bit to get more air flow coverage. The tilt is now at 10 degrees. If you don't have cooling in place you will need to print this with supports, most likely it will fail without. If you have adequate cooling you might be able to skate by with only supports for the top piece. Note: In the gallery when I printed mine, the left side got slightly messed up due to miscalibration on my part so I'm in the process of re-printing. EDIT: When I uploaded the STL file it somehow comes out rotated. You need to print with the bracket / screw thread on the top. Print in the orientation as you see in the gallery. Instructions Import to your favorite slicer (I used Simplify3d) Make sure you include proper supports if you do not have cooling (and even if you do it might be a good idea on some spots). Print. Mount at the top and center of your printer using the existing screw as shown in the gallery. You will need to buy 2x 80mm x 25mm case fans from your favorite store, I used microcenter. You will need a 12V AC to DC adapter, and connect the fans in parallel. Profit from much improved prints. EDIT: When I uploaded the STL file it somehow comes out rotated.
