3D printer cooling fan - Intake Velocity Stack!

thingiverse

Ok, so you're into 3D printers and high-performance cars? Hot-rodding your printer isn't just about performance; it's an art form that requires creativity. Take the cooling fan on your Printrbot, for example. A velocity stack would be the ultimate upgrade, and we don't mean a speed boost in a vacuum – it will increase airflow by about 5% in any real-world situation. Our inspiration was a classic car modification: add a shiny new component to an existing engine part! In this case, a clear path to the fan allows maximum airflow through its entire housing. You'll notice two versions: one has a standard bell with an aerodynamic center deflector that ensures air flows only over the blades, creating the best possible airflow scenario. With some minor tweaks in your print settings and orientation – we're talking PLA and 15mm/sec at 10% infill – this design will impress you with its smooth flow lines even when printing upside down or right side up!
