Mk4s Print/Cooling Fan Shroud has cracked -- How can I replace, print, or fix?

The shroud for the cooling fan on my Mk4s has cracked along one of the layer lines and I'd like to replace it, print a new one, or simply fix it (by gluing the two pieces together).

However,

  • The part doesn't seem to be available for ordering.
  • I don't see a model for this that I could print
  • I'm not sure what adhesive would be sufficient to glue it back together.

Thoughts? Thanks in advance.

They are on Printables.  Search MK4S and you'll find all of the printable parts.  I looked and the fan shroud is there.

Thanks. Apparently I didn't look hard enough!

This piece is really fragile - I bumped into it while changing the nozzle and it got damaged right away.

Be aware that without the shroud, the printer will fail the self test because the fan will not run at the expected speed
