FrankenCooler for Wanhao Duplicator I3 V2.1 (CiiiCooler+Mistral)

thingiverse

This remix brings together the ingenious designs of CiiiCooler by Pawpawpaw85 and Mistral cooler for Anet A8 by Leo_N. My friend graciously gifted me his Wanhao Duplicator I3 V2.1 since he no longer had time to use it. The initial hurdle was part cooling, as the original system failed to provide sufficient cooling. After exploring various options from Thingiverse, none of them worked effectively. As a seasoned user of my Anet A8, which operates flawlessly, I rely on the reliable Mistral_V2.1 cooling system and discovered a compatible part with an excellent mount for Wanhao. Utilizing Meshmixer, I crafted this unique design that may appear unusual but functions perfectly. Recognizing the value of community sharing, I am grateful to Pawpawpaw85 for allowing me to share this remix. To assemble this setup, you'll need a 5015 cooler similar to this one: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Anet-5015-FAN-12V-24V-Ultra-quiet-Oil-Bearing-about-7500-RPM-Turbo-Small-Fan-For/32827883787.html The printing process may require some trial and error, as you'll need to add supports from the build plate at the nozzle side. Printing in ABS or PETG is recommended for optimal results. I utilized the mount part from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2004629 and nozzles from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2121279. The photos showcase an early version, which has since been refined to a smoother design.
