Blower Mount STL Files

I'm looking to print out a replacement blower mount with a tiny mod. However the Stock blower on my Orion Delta is different to the STL files I can find online
http://repables.com/r/171/
Essentially it's an enclosed tube to the tip on the above version its open on the lower side.

- Enclosed blower to the tip
But the one I can find online is open on the lower face (towards the print giving general part cooling and not as direct)

- STL with open face
So I'm after the STL file for the blower I've got fitted as it works fine but I'm adding a retraining clip and going to improve the fit.
I suppose I could easily add the face myself but the file must already exist..... It' s not on my SDCard just the Peek fan GCO.
Any help appreciated.
Cheers.

Don't mean to necro this but I am in the process of switching to PLA printing for large parts, I printed this out in ABS and I attempted to mount it to my effector with no luck, I bought my Orion in oct/nov of last year, perhaps the effector heads have changed since then? Here is a pic showing what I am talking about:

There should be a plastic tab on the effector that fits into a slot on the shroud... It looks like you maybe have just put a screw through the tab into the hole?

There is no plastic tab and even if there were, look at the height of the blower compared to the print head, its not lining up on this machine, is my model too old or something?
EDIT: Look at the effector platform in the first picture in this thread and then look at mine, they are not the same. I don“t know what to do, any help?

yeah that looks different to mine

- Tab to connect Blower

- how it pushes on to the tab

- Pushed into position without screw in place
This is the platform on mine:

I've seen a few other blower mount designs for example
http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:74789
http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:110305
Looks similar to your plate?.. but I'd not use a fan setup like that myself, a blower is better for that task IMO.
So part 110305 looks the same as yours, so you could always download it and combine its mounting system to the blower in your preferred cad.

TFMike,
you have the original 2 piece effector platform so yours does not have the fan mount tabs as new platform does.
This fan shroud will work on yours
