Ender 5 Fanduct V3 for Stock Setup or MicroSwiss DirectDrive (40mm fans)

thingiverse

This is a FanDuct for the Creality Ender 5 reworked from scratch to fit the stock setup (hotend+backplate) as well as the MicroSwiss DirectDrive and is made for 3x 40mm fans (Noctua NF-A4x20 FLX in my case). . . The new version has a few key differences to the versions before: . . V3.0: -Removable Cable Guide for the MicroSwiss version to organize the cables with zip ties -Bigger opening at the bottom of the duct to prioritize air flow over air pressure -Relocated some screw locations to allow for easier (dis-)assembly -Rounded edges at the back of the cable guide to allow better fitment with cable ties -This version can be printed with minimal supports when located with the back side down on the bed and using the support blocker plugin like shown in the pictures. . . All mechanical connections are to be made using standard M3 screws. I recommend using washers with the two screws securing the fan duct to the backplate. . . The XY-Offsets can be adjusted to fit this design sending the following commands followed by an M500: . . V3.0: BLTouch: M851 X-32,186 Y-36,877 . . This FanDuct provides better cooling while keeping most of the print area. Starting from X and Y-Axis in the home position the CAD model shows a safe operation range for the X-Axis of 218mm or up to 223mm with a minimal clearance. For the Y-Axis the CAD model shows 217mm of safe travel or up to 220mm with a very small clearance remaining between the BLTouch and the front cross beam. Reports from users show they even kept a operation range of 226mm for the X-Axis and 222 for the Y-Axis.
