Anycubic Photon 5015 blower fan shroud/mount with beefier supports.

The original fan shroud mounting arms for the fan were just too flimsy for my taste so I whipped this up. Using a 4mmx30mm screw with washers and nut for the fan mounting, and 2: 3mmx15mm screws with washer for mounting it to the photon. Optional are 2: 3mmx5mm with washer for the other two corners (there is a carbon sponge filter mount underneath that plate that you're mounting to which uses 2 of the four holes, so these were not used for the factory fan.)

The original model and this one are both sized to a width of exactly 1.5cm for the fan hole, some filing was needed before the fan would slide in without risking breaking either it or the part.

Mounting- It's easiest to put the bracket in place with the wires for the fan in place, but without the fan installed, and then install the fan once the mount is secured, due to the limited space in the corner.

Miscellaneous: use a tiny drop of "thread-lock" blue, Elmer's glue, or paint/nail polish on the ends of the screws before assembly. This will prevent them from coming loose due to the vibration of the fan. This is meant to be used with the other parts listed in the thing I remixed. If you install this without extra filtration of some sort it will probably cause a big stink.

Future suggestions, if I never get around to doing it myself- Remix with a 4mm nut capture on one side to ease installation. Make one complete mesh (right now it is just two objects superimposed which seems to slice and print fine on Anycubic Photon using Chitubox slicer). Widen the fan hole a tiny bit to cut down on post-printing work.
