Ender 5 Fan Shroud (Remix)

thingiverse

I'm really fond of misterpeppery's fan shroud. The nozzle's view isn't obstructed and the water test clearly shows that it blows air pretty much dead center. However, I encountered an issue - after several hours of printing, the left side starts to sag, which is not a desirable outcome. To address this problem, I remixed the design and added a support system. I designed the remix in Fusion360 with the assistance of a vernier caliper and some clever use of CAD software. The images you see are from my second prototype, which had a support that was 2mm too thick and rubbed against the belt end. To make the most of the material I'd already printed, I trimmed off a small portion to create a hanger, which works perfectly. The attached STL files have taken into account the 2mm discrepancy, so this design should work without any issues. This print doesn't require any additional supports or screws; it simply uses standard Ender 5 parts. However, you may need to spend a bit of time adjusting it into place due to the relatively tight tolerances.
