Anet A8 Semi-Circle Fan Shroud for Auto Bed Leveler

myminifactory

I recently upgraded my Anet A8 with an auto bed leveler and a 5 mm plate attached between the part cooling fan and the extruder. This upgrade eliminated the possibility of using my old fan shroud, as the heating block would melt its top surface. To resolve this issue, I designed a new fan shroud that is 5 mm longer to reach the nozzle. My initial design consisted of a full circle, but after conducting further research, I discovered that a semi-circle configuration performs significantly better. To minimize stringing issues, users should increase their retraction settings in accordance with my design specifications. If you plan to import this object into MeshMixer, be aware that it may fill the top hole, potentially obstructing airflow through the shroud.
