A8_Fan_Duct_Modified

Human: Fan duct for Anet A8 and similar models, three versions supplied - one with shallow connection to blower, one with deeper blower connection, and one with deeper blower connection and slightly longer nozzle to be closer to hot end. Dimensions from this model originated from Original fan duct for Anet A8/Hesine/M505++ by mseljestokken - http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1438439 Print Settings Printer: Anet A8 Rafts: No Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.1 Infill: 20% Notes: 2 outer layers, supports only from base plate. Model should be laid on one of the two flat sides to print. How I Designed This Basic dimensions for connection with blower and relative position of outlet were derived from linked maker's item. Model was built from poly cube extruded multiple times and tweaked to form profile I was looking for. Edges of end closest to bed were bevelled to give more clearance from build plate without changing direction of airflow. Three versions provided in download are as follows: Shallow connection to blower - still snug fit and slightly lighter on filament use. Deeper connection to blower - same dimensions other than this change Slightly longer nozzle end - to bring airflow closer to part if required. Mesh itself is fairly light, so three versions still don't leave you with large file. All versions have been printed by me once to test whether they make snug fit. I have printed with first version attached and as others have same clearance from build plate this should mean that they will all work well.
