These brackets allow you to mount a 40mm fan to a Mendel.
My x,y, and extruder stepper motors were getting quite warm especially during long prints. I turned down the current limit on the pololus after realizing that the Makerbot motors I installed were .4 amp motors and not .84 like the ones currently on their site. Even after adjusting the current limit on the stepper drivers they get warmer than I care for so I designed these brackets to mount some 40mm fans I found at radioshack. While
