While printing on my Printrbot Simple I found that on longer prints my extruder would start skipping. It wasn't filament jamming, it was the motor itself skipping. So on advice of the community I decided to test a fan pointed at my extruder motor to keep it cool. After the cooling fan was installed, my motor no longer skipped.
I used the existing y-arm bolts to secure the mount.
This is the fan I purchased and it works perfectly. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000RD0RDU/ref=oh_details_
