Cooling Duct - Fits Qidi Tech (and likely others)

thingiverse

This cooling duct operates effectively with the stock turbo fan that is included with my Qidi Tech printer, which is an early 2016 model. The pre-installed duct was inadequate in delivering quality results from various test prints (such as Marvins and CtrlV), prompting me to design a new one myself. Initially, I aimed for a duct that would split off and route air to both extruders but experienced mixed outcomes. However, I'll revisit this concept at a later time and focus on the current version designed specifically for the left extruder, which yields high-quality results with PLA. Using your printer's included duct, you should be able to avoid using supports for this print. Print both parts, then secure them together with a small amount of super glue by attaching the input to the rest of the duct. Print Settings Printer: Qidi Tech Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2mm Infill: 25% Notes: I recommend printing this item right side up, as it appears in the image that I printed it on its side. I designed this cooling duct using Solidworks.
