Anycubic Hotend Cover with LED Ring

thingiverse

As I sought to minimize the noise of my Anycubic i3 Mega, I replaced all the fans on the printer. This necessitated a new case for the hotend, but since none of the existing models met my needs, I designed one from scratch. I opted for these specific fans: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B01JJ0QD6Q/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B009NQLT0M/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1. To enhance the visual appeal of my prints, I added a LED ring. This particular model, available at https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07GC238R3/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1, can be securely attached to the bottom of any model. I was also dissatisfied with the design of 360-degree fan ducts found on Thingiverse, so I decided to create my own. This custom model has a lower profile than others available, ensuring that there is at least 2-3 mm of clearance between the fan duct and the printed item.
