3D model description

Note: This was made on/for the 8 inch Makerfarm i3v printer. It may not work or fit the larger versions.

A mount to attach a 40mm fan to the v-slot in front of the Y-motor. Remixed from clough42's excellent endstop switch mounts, the Z switch mount in particular (I was unable to remove the switch holes, openScad didn't like my plug).

11-26-14 Update: Desiring to have the fan and Y endstop switch mounted on the same piece, I redesigned the mount from the ground up. No more stealing clough42's work. :) It's not as pretty, but it works.

11-27-14 Update: Ok, I made it a little more pretty. :)

3D printing settings

To install, just remove the M5 bolt at the front of the printer holding the RAMPS-side Y v-slot extrusion, pull the extrusion up far enough to slip a t-nut into the slot, put the extrusion back, and replace the bolt.

You may need to remove your Y endstop and slide its t-nut back for the fan mount, and reattach the Y endstop on the nut you just slid into the extrusion.

New version lets you mount the Y endstop switch to the fan mount with two 10mm M3 bolts. No nuts required, the bolts thread into the mount itself.
