The Modified Fan Duct Design for the ROJO3D Printer To enhance the print quality and reduce thermal stress on the ROJO3D printer's hotend, a custom-designed fan duct is necessary. This article presents a modified version of the standard fan duct that effectively channels airflow to optimize cooling performance. Key Features: * Reduced air turbulence * Improved airflow uniformity * Enhanced print quality Design Improvements: 1. **Turbulence Reduction**: By altering the fan duct's geometry, we minimize air turbulence, ensuring a smoother flow of air towards the hotend. 2. **Airflow Uniformity**: The modified design promotes even airflow distribution, reducing hotspots and thermal stress on the hotend. 3. **Print Quality Enhancement**: With improved cooling performance, users can expect enhanced print quality, reduced warping, and increased overall printing efficiency. Materials Needed: * PLA or ABS plastic for the fan duct housing * A drill press or a Dremel tool for precise cuts * Hinges or adhesive for secure attachment Step-by-Step Instructions: 1. **Design Preparation**: Download the modified fan duct design from the ROJO3D community forum and prepare it for printing. 2. **Printing**: Print the custom fan duct housing using PLA or ABS plastic, ensuring a high level of detail and precision. 3. **Assembly**: Attach the fan duct to the printer's hotend using hinges or adhesive, securing it firmly in place. Tips and Variations: * For optimal performance, ensure proper calibration of the printer's temperature settings. * Consider upgrading to a more advanced cooling system for further improved print quality. * Experiment with different fan duct designs to find the perfect balance between airflow and noise reduction.
