Anet E12 Two-Piece Cooling Fang

UPDATE: 10/20/2018 Making a Fang Speaker, Maybe Not Exactly That. I recently discovered that the tiny part at the tip of my fangs is slightly below or right at the nozzle tip height from the bed when crossing some print lines and making sounds. To fix this issue, I shaved .2 mm off the tips. If you've already printed your fang or are experiencing the same problem, try sanding the tips a bit. -----------END OF UPDATE------------ I had issues with the Anet E10 - Improved Fan Shroud on my 3D printer and found the 30mm E12 fang but wanted to keep using larger fans. So I did a lengthy remix of the design. Here's what I came up with: a two-part fang. Part 1 is a remix of the CR-10 40mm Stock Hot End Cooling Duct: 1. Blocked two holes that could blow on the heater block. 2. Thicken up the cross bars that mount it to the cooling block. 3. Added a way to mount the fang to this cooling shroud, making a stand-off for the cooling fan when assembled. Part 2 is a remix of the 30mm Anet E12 Fang: Too many changes to list them all, but I'll mention a few key ones: 1. Thicker walls for added strength. 2. Improved ventilation for better airflow. 3. Custom mounts for my specific printer setup. If you're interested in trying out this design or any of the other upgrades listed below, be sure to check out the corresponding Thingiverse links!
