FYI I just made a fan shroud in PLA for my discharge bank and the PLA does just start to stick to the heatsink surface but that is running at over 230F+ degrees! Agree in your application PLA should be more then fine.
yea man. PM your email addy. I dont get on a computer much though. I do this stuff on an ipad.

Yea its PLA. Wasn’t it you that did clear PLA that inspired me? I dont know what would happen to the PLA if the fan stopped but ive been itching for a new motor anyways. This one is 3 years old and I cant kill it. I really like this one. Its easier to mount and covers more of the surface area. I dont think Ill be able to add a duct on the front of that fan for fresh air in but maybe.
