Hotend cover for Anycubic Mega with potentiometer

thingiverse

I swapped back to my stock fan from the Noctua NF-A4x10 FLX fan due to issues with the hotend temperature, resulting in frequent blockages of the PTFE/nozzle and hotend. The stock fan significantly outperforms the Noctua but produces an excessive amount of noise, prompting me to install a potentiometer to adjust performance and reduce noise levels. Initially, I simply glued the potentiometer to the metal cover using hot glue, but I later redesigned the hotend cover by element3 to accommodate the potentiometer, which costs approximately 1.50 euros on Aliexpress. Minimal support was required for the bed alone; no major modifications were necessary. This print took around 3 hours and 20 minutes to complete.
