Assembling

1. Remove all support material.

2. Heat your soldering iron or heated insert press tool to the recommended print temperature of the filament used. 

3. Insert the threaded inserts as shown in the pictures.

4. Insert the magnets as shown.

5. Slide in the fan from the inside top and make sure the cable is facing up and is not pinched. Then press it down into the slot until the holes of the fan align with the holes of the printed part.

6. Use the M3x10 bolt to secure the fan in place. Make sure to tighten it finger tight.

7. Now use the 2m3x40 to connect the 2 half's together. Also tighten these finger tight.

8. Connect the fan to the tool head and place the new cover on the printer just like the original cover. Dubble check that the fan cable is not touching the hotend or the extruder gears.

Happy printing!
