Mendel90 bed fan cowl

thingiverse

Human: Expedites cooling an object sooner at the end of a print, reducing the wait time for release from the bed, by directing airflow more precisely across the glass surface and around the object base. The circular fan inlet opening's cross-sectional area is kept nearly identical to that of the duct, optimizing airflow. The removal of under-bed wadding during cooling allows air to flow below the glass, further enhancing the cooling effect. Instructions: Install the fan within the inside rear buttress where it typically resides, placing the fan and guard on the outside. The STL model was rendered specifically for a standard Mendel90. Intentional spacing exists between the front duct edge and main gantry; LED strips along the gantry provide print area illumination. Modify the SCAD to adjust fan duct opening dimensions and position, aiming to keep fan intake and duct openings' cross-sectional areas equivalent to prevent airflow restriction.
