Description
Summer torments us with heat again. I saw my colleague mounting ice packs to a fan using a piece of wire and I thought: That can be 3D printed! Others had that idea before but I saw room for improvement, so I created my own model from scratch.
The holder can be printed without any supports. It fits usual and bigger than usual ice packs with a thickness of up to 40 mm and a width of up to ~90 mm.
There are two sets of hook to mount the holder to the fan: The recommended hooks have a thickness of 3 mm and should fit most fans. The set of thinner hooks with a thickness of 2 mm should be strong enough, too, but I am not sure how durable they are. So use those with care.
To assemble the hooks correctly, check the photos.
