Fan Mounted BLTouch (multiple models including covers)

BLTouch mount for 40mm fan.

Concerns:

Airflow restriction is not a problem, as I and many more people use fan-mounted BLTouches without issues.

Why make your own?

I wanted a mount that fulfilled all my needs:

1. Being easy printable.
2. Use all 4 corners (necessary for Noctua fans as they have extruded rubber corners).
3. Having a cover integrated (included a version without cover as well).

4. Adjustable BLTouch height (parameterizable).

   • Ask if you need an offset version, and I will upload it. The default version has the BLTouch centered in the circle since that fit on my Hydra fan mod (highly recommended)

   ### Printing notes

   Support should not be needed on the cover-versions, while the model without cover needs a support in the middle for the hook grabbing the BLTouch cable.

   ### Versions

   Includes different covers styles:

• No cover

  • Has a hook for the cable to ensure no contact with the fan.
    • Needs support below the hook grabbing the cable.

• Grid

• Honeycomb

• More can be requested. Each of the models has different heights available for the BLTouch.

• Default: BLTouch is placed in the center of the fan (this is the one I use for my Ender 3 Pro from early 2020).

• Offset_+2mm: This has the BLTouch mount raised by 2mm from the center of the fan.
• Offset_-2mm: This has the BLTouch mount lowered by 2mm from the center of the fan.
• Offset_-4mm: This has the BLTouch mount lowered by 4mm from the center of the fan.
• Offset_-6mm: This has the BLTouch mount lowered by 6mm from the center of the fan.
• Offset_-8mm: This has the BLTouch mount lowered by 8mm from the center of the fan.
• Offset_-10mm: This has the BLTouch mount lowered by 10mm from the center of the fan.

• Offset_-12mm: This has the BLTouch mount lowered by 12mm from the center of the fan. ### Change Notes
