Description
Hi all!
Because certain issues when printing bridges and problematic areas with my Leapfrog Creatr I decided to design a colling system for the printer´s nozzle.
An add on is the increased printing speed.
I needed about 6 versions (someones with sub-versions) but finally I´m happy with this final design.
This design can use a 50x50mm fan or a 60x60mm one, I´ll suggest a 50x50mm one (easy to find over ebay, I bought this one "Delta AUB0512HB 50x50x15mm 5015 DC 12V 0.15A Brushless Fan 2-pin 2510 Connector"), but there is a choice to use a 60x60mm kind, but it will crash a little with the right rear stepper.
I also added in both sides holes to insert a couple of 5mm leds so we can see better the printing area :D

Instructions
Instructions are pretty simple, just print it all, do some cleaning and mount it with a few bolts.

Very nice piece of work.
I just printed the 50x50 fan inlet and the "ears" where the bolts go are not printed. I discovered that slic3r warns me about "overlapping self intersecting facets" (rotated the part in repetier and sliced with slic3r). Rotated the part in netfabb and then it's all OK.
Very nice to add the little flaps on the ends of the longer beams to prevent warping :)

Yes, it's done!
I fitted IGUS bushes to make it run smoother and made a 40x40 fan inlet to use an original 24V fan from Leapfrog.
