Extra light fan holder Upgrade for Ultimaker2
Replace the original radial fan with the tangential ones:
Advantages
- Re-use original screws for mount duct holder
- Blower DO NOT requires screws, just clip on!
- Integrated cable guide
- Less noise (remarkable compared to the original fans)
- Less vibration
- More pressure (means you can restrict the duct and concentrate the air-flux where you need)
Warning:
- the blower are sold without connectors this means that you need a plier and the connectors to do this upgrade (or you can solder the cables, that's not a good choice indeed)
Notice
My nozzle is different from the original UM2 but the overall height is the same. So if you have the original UM2 nozzle this project is suitable for you too

The original Fan duct holder is made of metal and weight (alone without the 2 fan) 26gr. My previous version used the original fans and weighed 34gr
This Extra light fan holder weight 30gr (or less in the last version) with the blowers (11gr each) and connectors included as you can see
