Update: 24\05\20 Uploaded Step file. Jan 2020: It may be worth checking out my latest design - Hydra Fan Duct & Tool Change System which IMHO is far better in a lot of ways than this Hero Me remix. Link: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4062242 Hero Me 4010 Dual Fan Duct with Improved Nozzle Visibility Please note this is only the 4010 dual fan duct and not the full collection of parts. This is a remix of Mediaman`s excellent Hero Me Fan Duct Design. Many thanks Mediaman for creating the thing. I have found it really does improve prints, particularly with larger nozzle printing. I did have some issue with thin walls when attempting to import the Tinkercad OBJ files (countersinks walls around part fan fixing holes) so I have created from scratch in Fusion 360. In this remix I have: 1.Raised the connecting cross bar to allow a much clearer view of the nozzle. 2.Redesigned the duct outer shell so the thing now prints without supports. 3.Tweaked fixing and location boss to make a little more robust. 4.Revised part fan fixing counter sink holes to remove the thin wall issue. Printing: 1.Printed without supports, you may wish to insert a single custom support at the centre of cross rail to help bridging(see uploaded image) but prints OK without. 2.All prototypes printed fine without a raft but this should be considered if you do not have great bed adhesion. 3.Printed with Black PETG, 0.2 res, 30% infill with 3 perimeters. Apologies in advance if there is a similar remix I have not spotted. I have not checked this thing against all the other Hero Me accessories. I do not use any form of levelling sensor, my main aim was to increase nozzle visibility. Again many thanks to Mediaman.
