Ender 3 / V2 Fan Shroud crumbling

[wmyhal]

Does anyone have a stl file to print a new fan shroud for the Ender 3 /V2
Mine is falling apart. The plastic inside has all broken where the fan screws go. I had to
put bolts in to hold the fan in place.

There are a bunch on thingiverse.com that you can print. A couple are pretty much direct replacements, others are upgrades of 1 kind or another:

Thanks for all those links.
Lot's of good ones

Do you have any preference?

[Ender5r]

Not really. For me, it comes down to what I'm trying to accomplish: simple replacement of existing shroud or upgrade to better fans and maybe BL Touch. You might start with a simple shroud, just so you get something in place, then consider whether, and what, to upgrade. In that case I think the first couple are good choices.

The only problem with 3d printed shrouds is the screw holes that the screws screw into strip after only a couple of removal's. Suggest you use these to prevent that. Works for me very well. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Also might consider getting this, makes it easy to install them https://www.amazon.com/Heat-Set-Inse...2027327&sr=8-5
