    My extruder fan stopped. I could not find a 25mm fan anywhere nearby, however many places had 40mm and up fans.. I made this out of cardboard first, and it worked well enough to print a plastic one. It works great. Just thought I would share...

    I'm looking for a replacement fan for my hexagon hot end, mine quit working. There are a lot of fans at amazon.com and on the internet, can someone point me in the right direction to which fan to use.
