Customizable Wanhao i3Plus i3 Plus Duplicator Upgrade Cooling Duct

thingiverse

Two versions of a cooler for the Wanhao Duplicator i3 Plus are available. The "SimpleCooler" is similar to the standard cooler, but slightly lower in height. My original cooler was too close to the build plate and my prints. The "CoolingDuct" has an open cooling ring around the hot end of the printer. This improves print quality by cooling down the extruded filament faster than the original cooler. Effects include: * Better top surfaces * Less pillowing * Cleaner overhangs * Less stringing Both coolers can be installed without extra material - no extra screws, no different fan is needed. The original screws and fan can still be used! To improve mounting strength, two M3x10 screws are recommended for attaching to the mounting arm. An improved version 1.1 has been released, moving the screw positions further to the right so they don't collide with the fan screws. This design is customizable: For the cooling duct, you can adjust: * The tilt of the cooling ring to compensate for a bent mounting arm * The angle of the cooling ring - 0 means no ring, 360 means a full ring Thingiverse customizer may not work properly due to an outdated OpenSCAD version. You can download the SCAD file and render it yourself with a newer version of OpenSCAD. Have fun printing!
