Summary

I wanted to have a fan for PLA printing and had a 50mm fan laying around. So I designed myself a fan mount for my TEVO Tarantula. v8 now has a sideways shield, v7 has not. v10 is improved and has reduced complexity

fan_mount_experimental.stl is my attempt to make an enclosure for the fan and it hasn't been tested yet.

fan_mount_top.stl is another version and it hasn't been tested either, but it should work.

You should put a washer between nozzle fan and the fan mount to prevent the nozzle fan from rubbing against the fan mount.

This thing was made with Tinkercad.

Post-Printing

Mount onto the lower screws of the nozzle fan. I used M4 bolts and nuts to mount it onto the 50mm fan. Make sure the blades don't interfere with the mount. A well calibrated printer is a must.
