Bowden Cooling Tube for Rostock Max w/ Squirrel Cage Blower

thingiverse

This set of parts enables you to install a squirrel cage blower with a round nozzle in an advantageous location and transport air to the hotend via 3/8" vinyl tubing. You need to print four clamp ring parts, as two are required to create a ring, and fasten them using M3x8 screws. Additionally, longer M3 screws with nylock nuts are needed for attaching the rings to the end effector or use one long M3x25 screw. Secure the vinyl tubing with epoxy after sandpapering it for better bonding; however, black corrugated tubing is flexible but noisy at high fan speeds. The nozzle must be printed hollow, and the cap fits on the tube's end near the hotend, with a small window in the tube aligned with the gap in the cap to direct airflow precisely at the tip of the nozzle. Note that the picture may show outdated mounting rings, and new rings are created by screwing two Clamp Ring parts together and flipping one upside down on top of the other, aligning the holes.
