During longer prints, the Z-axis stepper motor gets pretty hot (above 40° Celsius). One issue is the wrong positioning of the stepper motor, but this can be fixed with some spacers (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2925230). This reduces the friction at the lead screw but at the same time prevents the Z-motor from dissipating its heat to the aluminum frame.
To tackle this problem I decided to mount a 40mm fan to the motor. Here you can find a fan mount that screws on top of the Z-axis end-st
