Sorry I wasn't very clear smile

Yes please.

one question on fans, I have the cooling fan that holds onto acryilic puzzle screws with magnets. can this be modified to be used on the Lawsy mk5?

are fans 25mm? nevermind just saw link to specs duh lol. 30mm

clearance? how? where is the X carriage motor?

Just confirmed this today...the fans have a low enough profile to fit underneath endstops, carriages, and shouldn't crash into the frame.

Is this Lawsy carriage or MK5 compatible?

The only issue I found was the fans would turn off about every other layer, but I'm going to try the fans always on setting in slic3r.
