The fan is 100% needed. The instructions even say this.

The fan mount STL is on E3D's website:

If that one snapped, your printer is way out of calibration.

Does anyone know where I can get a decent file of an E3D V5 fan mount for the heatsink? The one I got off of thingiverse was flimsy and snapped. I'm using wardjr's Solidoodle_Bulldog_XL_E3D_Carriage.

You're probably right about your clogging issues.  I've been having constant clogs on my v6 for a few weeks, and after the 4th teardown/clean/reassembly, I found out that the whole time the fan shroud on the heat sync was upside down...

As far as a decent file for the fan mount, I'm not sure, but filastruder does sell them for 99 cents (shipping is probably 3 dollars or so)
