Topic: e3d V5 Cooling Fan mount

I bought the e3d V5 ages ago and finally got around to installing it on Lawsy's MK5 extruder.  I have not been able to find a good mount for a 40 mm part cooling fan.  Does anyone have a recommendation?  Thanks.

You could use tinkercad and make one yourself. Tinkercad is very easy to use..

Congrats on the delayed v5! I love mine. Wish I could wine and dine it big_smile

This will allow cooling of the fins as well as print cooling. I don't find it to be enough for PLA with the use of an enclosure, but works just fine on ABS with one without cooling too much.
