Printrbot Simple 1405 Fan Shroud for E3D v6 Hotend

thingiverse

This fan shroud is tailored specifically for use on the Printrbot Simple 1405 with an E3D v6 Hotend. Theoretically, it also works seamlessly with the Ubis, but I can't confirm whether it will align correctly. A revised standard version (redone) is available, which operates on the same principle as the original Printrbot-Shroud. An alternate variant (revised deflector) features a continuous ring of material encircling the hotend. Initially, its design appears minimalistic; however, I have discovered that it dramatically impacts airflow direction. Even the cheapest PLA can be printed without supports - a fact tested personally. Take caution when heating your bed above ~60°C and the cooling fan isn't running while keeping the hotend in close proximity. The deflector may sag onto the bed due to thermal stress.
