Team Associated B7 Fan to Motor Shroud

Boost MeAll boosts are incredibly welcome and make me want to make more designs. Thank you!

This fan shroud is used to focus the motor fan's flow directly to the motor. It fits standard 30mm fans and is lightweight (2.26 grams in PLA). This was made for a Team Associated B7 but it should fit a T7 and SC7 as well, however I don't have the two trucks to test it. Feel free to print and check fitment on the trucks. The pre setup print plate will have 2 shrouds and takes 30 mins at .16mm layer height. Feel free to modify the slicer to maximize the quality at .08mm, which is still a relatively short print if you print 1 at a time. Also note, its pretty gorgeous when printed in ABS-GF.

 

The fan mounts with two M3 x 14mm screws and directly threads into the shroud (so be carful, the screws don't require lots of torque to stay put). You can also use as large as a M3 x 16 screw but any larger will start to foul on one side. Pro Tip, before you try mounting to the car, first cut the threads (thread in the screw) in hand by carefully threading the M3 screw in both holes when you have clear access. Once cut by the initial threading,  it will be much easier to put on the car.

 

I prototyped in PLA but finally ended up in ABS-GF. While testing, PLA was actually fine but I wanted the piece of mind in ABS.
