Flashforge Adventurer 3 Dual fan Airduct v2.1 (allows nozzle removal)

thingiverse

This is yet another dual-fan airduct. I created this one to allow the nozzle to be removed without having to remove the airduct. The airduct is a bit less close to the nozzle, which prevents it to deform when printing with higher temps. Might need some grindwork after printing. Edit V2.1: I changed the backplate just a little to have a better fit (might still need some grindwork) Annealing I also discovered that annealing PLA results in a better heat resistance than ABS. It give resistance to about 150 degrees Celcius. For me annealing worked best in boiling water for 35 minutes. This way the proportions remained better than using an oven. However, this greatly depend on the PLA being used. Not sure why, but PolyLite PLA totally deformed into a blob, whereas Kexcelled PLA worked fine. Will try to use other brands of PLA types. When annealing, you need a specific type of PLA. The best for this is Formfutura Vulcano. 1) Formfutura Vulcano 2) Kexcelled K5 (not K6) After this i was able to use this airduct with the 265-nozzle without deforming the airduct, which did happen with the ABS version.
