MK4S: Removable fan mod?

Hi everyone,

I did the MK4S upgrade two days ago and have done a few prints since. The quality and speed are both excellent. The only downside I've noticed is that accessing the hotend isn't as easy as it was with the MK4. Is there already a mod that makes it easier to remove and re-add the new fan and it's cover? I haven't been able to find anything on printables.com yet.

RE: MK4S: Removable fan mod?

The difficultly wouldn't be removing the fan, its the cable that it's attached to that goes up the left side channel to the extruder board, which doesn't have a huge amount of slack.

While I agree that the front fan is annoying (I just like to have easy viewing of the actual nozzle when printing), I don't really see any other reason to move the shroud very often since Prusa provided a nozzle replacement tool......
