Anet A8 - Hybrid Fan Duct

thingiverse

I'm creating a design that's a mix of lokster and Arjjck's styles. It combines the semi-circular shape and mounting method from lokster with the clean topology from Arjjck. Lokster's design had a problem with inconsistent layers when sliced, as shown in the second photo. To fix this, I've added a structural element at the neck to prevent it from bowing down if printed with PLA. The semi-circular shape already helps with this issue, but I wanted to add extra support just in case. I've also lowered the ring slightly compared to lokster's design. The original ring was too high for my taste, so I made some adjustments to make it more comfortable. This isn't a criticism of the other designs; they're great in their own right. I just wanted to create something that met my needs and potentially others as well.
