No, the fan holder is installed correctly. Even if it isn’t, that’s not what is preventing me from turning it 90 degrees. The problem is that the sides of the blue part don’t fit in the slit between heatsink and carriage. If you want, I can take a better picture to demonstrate the problem.by KASA - General

Im currently printing with my setup and I already printed something which took around 30 minutes, and the Heatsink is staying cool. I only angled the fan about 20° to the left, but I dont think that helps much. Im only printing PLA at 200°C so Im not sure what will happen if i try it with 300°C or so, but currently its working. If you are in a similar situtation like me, I suggest you just tryby KASA - General
QuoteSupraGuy It would be much easier to design and print a different duct that would allow a larger fan as well as direct air flow from the side. Since designs for the larger fans already exist on Thingiverse, it should be a relatively simple matter to modify one of those for the tight space, so long as there's room on the side of the gantry when the printer is at X maximum or minimum.

Mainly PLA and some ABS, but I would like to be able to print the others as wellby KASA - General
That’s bad news, I’m pretty sure I can’t rotate the fan enough to have more space behind. The fan duct can’t be rotated much because it doesn’t fit in the space between the Heatsink and the carriage... Maybe I will have to increase distance which will make the conversion even more complicated or I will try to build a custom fan duct with a blower fan so I can have the fan in front and have theby KASA - General
I am currently trying to modify my printer to use an E3D V6 Hotend but I have to work with limited space. My current mounting idea leaves only a few millimeters of clearance behind the air outlet behind the heatsink before the Extruder carriage. Here’s an Image: Is this enough to ensure enough cooling of the heatsink?by KASA - General
