Cross Flow Fan

thingiverse

/****29 JUNE LONG OVERDUE UPDATE:/\nbusy with other projects, putting this on hold but giving whoever wants STEP files to work on it.\nThe design is created using fusion360; if anyone needs different export versions, just let me know.\nFirst time exporting a file, so it might not be perfect.\nFATAL ERROR WITH DESIGN: The gearing actually slows down the fan instead of speeding it up.\nIf you have any comments or issues, feel free to drop them and I'll address them right away.\n/*****/\nProject in development; uploading for people to view and potentially take further.\nThe concept is a laminar flow fan mounted outside your 3D printer at the print head level.\nThis should provide an optimal laminar flow of air, cooling the filament immediately after it exits the nozzle.\nDelightful 3D prints will result, something you and future generations can admire.\nRight now, this is just the housing, motor mount, and coupling between gear, ball bearing, and shaft.\nA new file will be uploaded soon combining all these components.
