Fan turbolence deflector

thingiverse

I pinpointed the major contributor to warping in my prints as the turbulence caused by the 4x4 part cooling fan's intake. When the outtake capacity falls short of the intake, excess air creates a whirlpool around the intake, which ultimately lands on the print, speeding up the cooling of the upper layer and inducing warping as a result. To counter this issue, I developed a design that shields the print from these drafts. The shield's orientation is determined by the clockwise rotation of the fan. This mount securely attaches to any standard 40x40 fan, providing a seamless solution for minimizing warping in prints.
