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](http://thingiverse.com) that you can print. A couple are pretty much direct replacements, others are upgrades of 1 kind or another: [U][URL=“[Ender 3 V2 by jimbobwest - Thingiverse](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4607912)”][Ender 3 V2 by jimbobwest - Thingiverse](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4607912) [Ender 3 V2 Hotend 4020 Fan Shroud by Woodcat64 - Thingiverse](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4745448) [Ender 3 V2 Hotend enclosure modified for 4020 fan (40x20mm) by Elgadget - Thingiverse](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4918769) [Ender 3 V2 Cover by Xkain - Thingiverse](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4627989) [Ender 3 v2 hot end cover by aofi - Thingiverse](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4703643) [MBOT3D MK2 Remix (Ender7 style fan duct with dual 4010 fans) by Schnabulation - Thingiverse](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4897631) [Satsana Ender 3 V2 4010 & 5015 Fan Duct with BLTouch by Jargogler - Thingiverse](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4637453) [Satsana Remix for Ender 3V2 and Ender 3 with BLTouch / 4010 and 5015 Fan versions by Scrath\_ - Thingiverse](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4647053) [Satsana Duct for Ender 3 V2 by x4runnerGunnerx - Thingiverse](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4623647) [Fan Duct Ender 3 V2 remix satsana by Benetonstudio - Thingiverse](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4919499) [https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4666359[/U]](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4666359%5B/U%5D) ---

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.
