3D printer file info

3D model description

This will work on any 3D printer that uses a similar X Axes carriage such as Wanhao, CTC, Createbot, Flashforge etc.

Print it in ABS .2 Layer with no support. There is a support structure inside that pops out after cooling with a little effort.

Use a 40mm fan and a couple of m3x16 screws to secure the fan.

It snaps in place with no need for clips or screws.

This thing was made with Tinkercad. Edit it online https://www.tinkercad.com/things/9G2Gc8N9oG6

I uploaded a second version that has no support.

5/17/15 - Uploaded version 3. I angled the fan for better air flow. Still clicks into place and support was added with Meshmixer. Also added model with no supports whatsoever so you will need to add them yourself.

5/26/2015 Uploaded version 3.1. Thanks go to RicoSuave for his suggestion.

5/27/2015 I redid the Meshmixer edition of

universal_fan_shroud_31_mm.stl

The file is much smaller.

Print in ABS with a brim, no supports.

6/6/2015

I modified the original fan shroud and this one has a slanted interior to help the air flow. It also needs support. I find printing with Cura at .3 layers works best for me printing with Support and a Brim.

3D printing settings

Print this with ABS/

Layer .15-.2, No support needed as it is built in and comes out with a little effort after cooling.

I suggest printing with a brim.

The fan is a standard 40mmx10 secured in place with two M3x16 Screws.

It snaps in place with a little effort. No need for clips or screws.
