Aquila S2 Fan shroud "Sonic"

thingiverse

Description May I present the Aquila Sonic2, a Lightweight modular fan shroud/Toolhead for the Voxelab Aquila S2. After searching for many hours for an easy to use and print fan shroud for the S2 and finding nothing but frustration I decided to design and build a new one for the benefit of myself and anyone else who bought the S2 and wanted easy upgrade paths. “For when you've got to go fast.” Features: Featuring support for 1 or 2 upgraded 4010 Radial fans plus an upgraded 4010 or 4020 blower for heat-break cooling. Version with ABL mount available too. You'll need to remount your screen for the 4020 fan to not collide with the back of the display. Using only the original gantry mounting hardware along with two extended m3x20mm fasteners to secure the shroud to the aluminum extruder block you are able to lower the weight of the stock shroud from 86.5g (without fans) to just 11g! (around 45g including my triple 4010 fan setup) All while maintaining access and clearance for an extruder wheel as seen in the pictures. I've built in some tolerance for different manufacturers' positioning of screw holes in the main blower fan (standards seem tighter on the radial fans) I will be active with iterating and improving this design as and when the community requires. Scale the Fan ducts down to 10% size. Simple to install, takes less than 3 minutes. Limitations: Now this design isn't perfect. Vision of the nozzle is very limited for the first few layers but this is only usually an issue on smaller prints, and I designed this thing to go FAST! just like its namesake, so I will be using it on larger prints mostly. Finally: If this design was useful to you, and saved you the many hours of trying to configure a fully custom shroud like Hero Me, then please feel free to leave a small tip to say thank you! It will be received with a smile! https://www.buymeacoffee.com/howa305B Comments with improvements, makes and likes are always appreciated and I would love to see remixes where people have embraced the core design philosophies and made it their own! As always, Take care.
