E3D V6 Tripple-Fan and LED Mount

thingiverse

This is a revised version of thing 510957 (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:510957). It's a replacement for the original fan duct of the E3D-V6 hotend fan with additional mounting positions for model cooling fans on both sides. I've added a mount to hold three 5mm LEDs illuminating the nozzle, which works perfectly and is significantly smaller than my previous setup. This design also blocks parts of the airflow from the original E3d-V6 fan that could cause adhesion problems when it touches the first layers of the print. Instructions Print the open_support.stl file and print one or two times the fan_support.stl file. You'll need the following electronic components: Three (white) bright 5mm LEDs. One 470 Ohm resistor (adjust the resistor if you have a different power supply). The E3D-V6 30mm Fan. One or two additional 40mm Fans. Insert the LEDs into the holes in the mount and connect them in parallel. Connect the ground wire and the resistor. Behind the resistor, add the +12V wire while paying attention to the correct polarity! Use a zip tie to secure the fan duct in place, using the two slots on the backside.
