DiiiCooler snap-in shim

<p>Remix of DiiiCooler Shim for Di3 v2.1 by @grantisimo that allows insertion/removal without needing to fully remove the DiiiCooler. This allows easy testing of various shim heights and is much easier to install.</p> <p>Simply loosen the two screws holding the DiiiCooler in place, place the hooked end around one screw, snap the other end onto the remaining screw, and tighten the screws back.</p> <p>Note that the nozzle height on the Di3 / Di3+ is adjustable with a set screw, but it seems (at least on my unit) that for a proper cooler height, the heater block would need to be touching the mounting bracket / heatsink, with little to no heat break in between. I used a combination of adjusting the set screw (as far as I was comfortable with) and a 1.5mm shim to bring the height of the cooler to ~2mm from the tip of the nozzle. 40% fan speed is about perfect for PLA on the Di3+ with this setup; more cooling seems to affect adhesion between layers.</p> <p>@Pawpawpaw85 (the creator of the DiiiCooler) states "Optimal from tip to nozzle to the cooler is ~1-2.5 mm for best performance," so you may need to increase the height of this shim in your slicer to bring your cooler into this range.</p> <p>This thing was made with Tinkercad.
