Blower For Aluminum Carriage/X ends (Flashforge Creator Pro)

Print: \r\n- 4x M3 Screw End\r\n- 1x Alu carriage blower\r\n\r\n This allows you to use the "turbo fan" (or any similar 24v blower fan) with the Chinese upgraded x ends and carriage. The active cooling duct is heavily inspired by a design this remixes, and it's an excellent design! I just needed something that would fit my upgraded parts. I included solidworks files to save someone some time if they need to modify it, as designing was a bit tedious. However, the print quality improvement of an active fan makes it completely worth it!\r\n\r\n All you have to do is put a hex nut in each of the 4 hex shaped holes and use 2 m3x25 and 2 m3x10 screws with the end caps to protect that nice shiny aluminum. Then, lightly clamp it to your x carriage.\r\n\r\n I think the aluminum parts are very much worth it for the added rigidity, but I would recommend getting better bearings than what comes with them because they have a lot of play.\r\n\r\n Here are the links to the parts I used - not an affiliate, just trying to share how I improved my printer.
