Artillery Sidewinder X1 5015 duct

thingiverse

Edit 17October2020 - updated to R3 versions with the following changes; - Duct is now mounted with two screws to counter the drooping right side issue some have had. Also only the version with internal ducting, as these has given better results - added a section to the base bracket to allow mounting of the stock Z end stop as a ABL sensor. For the Z endstop ABL, adjust the offset in the FW to be NOZZLE_TO_PROBE_OFFSET { 26, -31, 0 } Original release; Introducing the THiNK 3d 5015 fan duct for stock Artillery Sidewinder X1 (Volcano Hotend). Made up the design as I really wanted to improve the part cooling on my X1, and as I have been left a little underwhelmed by some of the designs out there, decided to draw up my own. This is for 5015 fan... I haven't bothered with a 4020 version (yet) as I wanted to use the bigger fan to help the cooling. Key points I wanted to incorporate; <ul><li> Improve the cooling - a given for a duct, so wanted to incoporate a known duct style that I've been very happy with on my other printers (Prusa Bear by pekcitron https://www.thingiverse.com/pekcitron/designs)</li> <li>Simple mounting - be able to mount and remove the fan unit as easily as possible, without requiring massive dissasembly.</li> <li>Easy hotend access - Tie's in with the above, but want to make it as easy as possible to get to the hotend for nozzle changes.</li> <li>Easy printing - avoid supports as much as possible.</li> <li>Solid BL Touch mount</li></ul> Final design rotates the fan 90° from the stock position to hang forward of the extruder, and uses a single M4x20mm screw and nut to bolt in place. This also helps to give good access to the base plate screws. Used the BLT mount to help locate the fan. AND the ducts don't hit the stock extruder motor cover! Also drew up two ducts. The original is the open design, with no internal ducting, which is the same as the Bear ducts. However for improved airflow, drew up a second one with some internal ducts to better guide the airflow to the nozzle. Both ducts act to secure the lower section of the fan also, locking it into place. But then one screw, and you can remove the duct, and rotate the fan out of the way for easy access. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0I0eRHcCfUg&feature=youtu.be Hardware needed; 1x - 5015 sized blower Fan (24v!) 5x - M3 x 10mm Machine Screw (2 for base plate, 1 for duct mount, 2 for BL Touch) 3x - M3 Nut (1 for duct mount, 2 for BL touch) 1x - M4 x 20mm Machine Screw 1x - M4 Nut BL Touch - Note the mount is intended to be used with the Waggster V1.5 style setup off the LED pins, however the probe offset needs to be adjusted in Marlin to; NOZZLE_TO_PROBE_OFFSET { 26, -36, 0 } Then adjust the Z probe offset as normal (I use ~2.5, however this does depend on your nozzle setup). Strongly suggest watching Chris Rileys excellent Marlin2.0 ABL video to help setup a BL Touch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwhbeD2AduA Printing wise, recommend printing with PETG to help with the high temps around the nozzle.
