HicTop Extruder Fan Duct

thingiverse

I upgraded my HicTop printer's design by redirecting the fan to face upwards during printing. This eliminated the issue of the X-axis jerking, which previously caused the fan to clip and ruin its bearing. To achieve this, I built a custom Fan Duct that secures the fan in place while allowing it to blow air directly upwards. When using 3mm x 16mm screws to attach the fan at the top, prints with treaded surfaces come out smooth and hassle-free.
