Delta effector with built in cooling fan duct (for E3D v6)

thingiverse

I designed a magnetic delta effector with an integrated print cooling fan that was inspired by my i3's cooling duct. I also wanted to add a capacitive probe, which ended up being placed in a somewhat awkward position right in front of the E3D cooling fan, but it doesn't significantly hinder airflow. Overall, I'm extremely pleased with the final result. There are no screws required for the magnetic balls; I simply screwed them directly into the plastic and they sit securely in place. Be mindful that the arms may hit the fan or probe when printing near the edge of the print area, but this should be okay. Additionally, I've been printing with it for many hours using PLA, which closely surrounds the heater block without any issues. There are several versions available, most with a 48 mm spacing between the rods, one with and one without a probe, as well as a version with a 51 mm spacing. A step file has also been included. Edit February 26, 2017: By request, I've added a version for KARM-06 CL Igusball bearings. Edit December 16, 2017: Someone reported that the fan is blowing air on the heatbrake and heaterblock. To resolve this issue, I have uploaded revision 1. However, I haven't tested it yet; if anyone tries this new revision, please let me know your thoughts.
