Fan Mount Qidi Plus 4 Cartographer Beacon 3D

I redesigned the Beacon3D mount, making it fully compatible without requiring any printer modifications. All dimensions are preserved so the part fits within the mechanical limits.

Many other mounts are slightly wider, which causes issues on the QIDI Plus 4: during the nozzle cleaning routine, the rear wall of the cooling fan housing collides with the lever that scrapes off excess filament. My version solves this problem with a trimmed and optimized design.

Features:

Reinforced mounting: the holder is secured on four sides.

The cover plate where the Beacon3D module is installed is also fixed on four points: two self-tapping screws and two standard screws.

Instead of bolts for attaching the module itself, I used plastic rivets — simply riveted the plastic part. This looks neat and holds very well (see photos). Screws can also be used, but rivets are more practical.

Ultra-thin housing while maintaining full airflow efficiency.

Fan fits into a very compact housing.

Printing:

Recommended parameters: 100 °C bed, 60 °C chamber, speed up to 100 mm/s.

Material: carbon-fiber-filled ABS (ABS CF).

Layer height: 0.16 mm.

All surfaces smoothed in OrcaSlicer.

Supports: manual, precise, standard supports, with infill applied under all overhangs and holes.

The housing is printed with full support coverage under overhangs. Supports remove easily after printing.

Important: let the part fully cool inside the chamber and rest for a couple of hours — after that, supports can be removed very easily.

Stress-tested at 120 °C bed and 65 °C chamber — no deformation or defects occurred.
