looks great in any case! Thumbs up.
The problem with such modifications is the lack of long-term experience.
With the previous solution, you can look through and see if anything has got caught in the fan. Since I mainly print PA and ABS, I have few worries about the fan. I take the opportunity to look through the slots before I start printing. I have a long-haired brush that cleans it off quickly.
With your design, I don't know if that means more or less effort in the long run.
If I want to have a look, I have to dismantle the part. The flap is fixed with magnets. If it opens during printing because of the construction, I'll be angry with you 😉
Your printer looks fairly new and the flap can't be any older. I can tell by the print head. It's discoloured. So I wait and see what comes.
Many greetings
You don't need to disassemble anything. The fan cage opens up as usual. The mod just slides ontop of the current fan cage. It's an interference fit and the inside has rubber lip on it to keep it from moving.
My magnets actually aren't strong for some reason so I also tape the front cage on the 90 degree bend so it doesn't open up during the print. I have an idea for a mod to replace the tape but I'll get to it when I get to it.
