I built this fan mount and duct for a SWMaker Reprap Prusa i3 V6 Bowden x-carriage mount I picked up on AliExpress (https://www.aliexpress.com/item//32817495524.html). The fan bracket/mount clips onto the print head. Use threaded inserts to attach the fan and the fan duct.
*December 2020 update*: Version 4. Another bracket redesign to allow it to clear the frame better. Switched back to a radial fan: more pressure, less turbulence. The fan mount is a fresh redesign, mounting along the x-axis. The duct is adjustable up and down.
*Oct 2018 update*: I found that the original designs were reducing my max build height because the bracket and fan hit the top of the frame. By turning the fan 90 degrees and slimming the bracket I was able to get 20-30mm more build height. Now printed in two pieces and glued together - I used ABS and glued with an ABS slurry.
*Sept 2018 update*: The original version was too narrow and tended to fall off. Worse, when taking it off and putting it back on
