E3D V6 Part Cooling Duct for Tronxy P802

prusaprinters

<p>This is a new and improved cooling duct design for my E3D V6 mount design <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2536764">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2536764</a> that I made for my Tronxy P802E. This duct is much smaller than my crazy wide duct I posted initially. It is half the size and even works a bit better.</p> <p>My goals with this were:</p> <ul> <li>To make a duct that was fairly compact. (at least as small a most ducts out there) </li> <li>Cool at least as well as my previous duct which did a pretty good job. </li> <li>Provide relatively even cooling on all sides of a print. </li> <li>Be fairly easy to print.</li> <li><p>Allow visibility to the nozzle.<br/> I feel I was successful on all counts. It cools great at all angles around prints. It does cool a bit better on the front facing side so keep that in mind if you have any super extreme overhang angles.</p> <p>See my overhang test flower. <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2561815">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2561815</a><br/> It is one thing that I used to evaluate the cooling of extreme overhangs.</p> <p>Keep posted as I expect I will continue to keep improving it.</p> </li> </ul> <h3>Print instructions</h3><h3>Category: 3D Printer Parts Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer:</strong> Tronxy P802E</p> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong> No</p> <p><strong>Supports:</strong> No</p> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong> .2</p> <p><strong>Notes:</strong></p> <p>You should use ABS. You will need to rotate the model so it sits flat of course.<br/> I suggest using .2mm layers. You may need light part cooling to print the bridging areas best.</p> <h3> Post-Printing</h3> <p>I included some supports at the air exhaust slots that you will need to remove. I found that using an exacto knife to slowly cut at the tips of the supports in a prying action worked best. I would stick the knife between supports and work it back and forth. I'd advise you to not just try and break the supports off as it could take some of the part with it.</p> <p>I applied aluminum tape to areas directly next to the heat block. This probably isn't necessary with ABS, but I figured it wouldn't hurt.</p> <p>If the duct fits a little too loose in your blower then apply a bit of high quality duct tape (or something like that) to the front and/or back surfaces that insert into the fan. Doing that allows mine to fit very securely while still being easy to take on and off.</p>
