Prusa not willing to provide 3D model, dimension, or documentation for fan bracket.
I tried to live chat with Prusa general support today to try to find out where I could download a 3D model of the MK4S metal part cooling fan bracket. This part:
Support told me that they do not have a 3D model for the part as it's not printable.
I then asked if they had any documentation for dimensions or measurements for the part so that I could make my own model.
Finally, I asked this.
"May I ask what license terms that part is available and why the source isn't available, given I bought an open source printer from an open source printer manufacturer."
After sending this, the live chat session was closed.
Obviously, I am pretty mad that this part is not documented or available at all on an open source printer.

Any good quality 3d scanner will fix not having the model problem. (Reverse Engineer It)

Eh, prusa has been pulling back on the full open-source system for a couple years. You shouldn't be shocked.
