flexible z coupler and fan mount

i was updating my prusa i3 and decided to get printed z couplers and a fan mount. The z coupler is not as flexible as i hoped but still does the job well smiling smiley. I was using tubing and zipties before.

I added the brim function on the fan mount to avoid corner lifting. Both are printed using PLA, at 0.2mm layer height. I got my Prusa i3 as a kit from www.3dprinterczar.com.

Let me know what you guys think smiling smiley

Neat, cross off another vitamin. Dont be scared to source files, or tell us how it worked out using it.

Maybe it would be more flexible with 1) fewer arms 2) fanning out.(like the openscad.. note that linear extrude with twist sometimes gives issues)
