Direct drive for Ender 3 and CR10 fan duct

thingiverse

Hello Makers, Recently purchased a Micro Swiss direct drive extruder kit for my Ender 3 and CR10. Great gear, but there are some minor issues with limiting the print area in Z that I will work on soon. The quality of prints has greatly improved, and I can finally use Linear Advance! My retraction is currently set to 0.7mm. For this project, I used Noctua A4X10 fans. My Ender went from 55 dB to 33 dB with the SKR mini board used to silence the steppers. Two cooling fans are connected in series because they are 12V, while my printer is powered by 24V. I connected two 5cm LED strips in parallel and then hot end fan is connected in series to it for the same reason. There were a bunch of M3 screws of different sizes and one nut needed; I bought them from a known online shop in a 300-piece kit. All cables are soldered and packed under the cover between cooling fans. If you need or want to customize any of this, let me know the file format you require. I used Fusion360 to make it. Happy printing!
