Adjusted print fan support for MK2.5S/MK3S
Description
I printed the parts to upgrade my Prusa i3 MK2/S clone, then started upgrading (so I took the printer apart).. Low and behold, my extruder stepper motor has a different style wire connector than Prusa it seems? At any rate, the upper print-fan-support part did not work, it blocked the extruder motor connector. I measured with calipers, and found that if I could simply extend the reach of the Prusa original part, it would clear the motor connector style my printer has. (I used generic motors- "Usongshine" brand, but, it seems LDO uses the same connector?) I extended the original part using Tinkercad, and then after printing it out, it works perfect. See pics- Yay! :-) PS: As my printer was down for upgrading, I used my old Printrbot 1405 ("Simple Maker's Edition") 3D printer. The last of the wood 3D printers from that company, it does have GT2 belts (earlier ones used twine!), and has a bed levelling probe, but no heated bed. I used PLA- I figure, I don't think the front of the extruder gets too hot- we're nowhere near the business end! Also- all it has to do is last long enough to print another in PETG. But- it worked well. I sure hope someone else finds this part useful!
