40mm Fan Shroud Remix DaVinci 1.0A with E3Dv6 Extruder Mod

thingiverse

This has been modified from the original to address several issues I had. My extruder nozzles are Stainless Steel and a few mm longer than the originals from E3D. So the fan was actually blowing on the heater block, not the layer. I moved the tip down 5 degrees to blow directly on the layer. The slots on the original were in the wrong position; even when filed, the belt scraped against it. Also, I thought the belt occasionally hung on it, causing X-Y failures in print. To get rid of this problem and make installation easier, I replaced the slots with a semi-circular indentation. This directed all of the fan flow out of the nozzle with no loss. The holes are for a 50mm fan; I wanted to use the original 40mm, 5v fans from the DaVinci so I could control it with Repetier .92. So I moved the hole slots to install 40mm fans (NOTE: These holes were just 'eye-balled', some drilling/aligning screws may be necessary). The entire setup was about 5% too large to fit in my DaVinci housing. I reduced it so the block that holds it in is the correct size: 19mmx35mm. This isn't pretty (modified in mesh lab), but it now works in my DaVinci 1.0A; feel free to drop me a comment!
