Hinged Parametric Fan Frame Mount by devzero

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

This is a set of parts that allow you to hold a fan aimed at your bed that you can easily flick on or off to get out of the way in order to cool your prints and still have easy access to your build area. I was inspired to make this by mrice's 80mm fan mount (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:91003), but my mount broke easily and I didn't like how the bar clamp would wear down after moving the fan in and out of the way and would constantly need tightening. This solution uses much more plastic, but it is much sturdier and easier to flip the fan out of the way thanks to the hinge. I also used openscad so it is all parameterizable. You can print out a bar as long or as short as you want and I also have a model for the fan mount that works on any sized fan (I included STLs for 70mm fan and 80mm fan. I may add a nut trap on the fan mount and a hole for the fan wires to pass through on the arm in a later version.
