Cooling duct for E3D V6 CLONE, 40mm cooling and 30mm parts fan

thingiverse

I've got an E3D V6 Clone hot end on my A8 and I wanted to use a 40mm fan to cool down the heat sink. I also wanted to repurpose the stock 30mm fan as a parts cooler since I'm printing PETG and don't need a ton of cooling, so I decided to keep the hot end assembly as compact as possible. This setup has been working great for me so far while printing with PETG. I haven't tried printing PLA yet, so I can't say if the parts cooling is adequate or not - if you try it let me know! I printed this part in black PETG for its extra temperature resistance and slight flexibility over PLA. This makes it snap on easier because it's a tight fit, which is exactly what I wanted to avoid movement.
