Printrbot Simple Metal Tentacle Fan Shroud

thingiverse

A fan shroud for your Simple Metal from the Deep Sea. This is a fan shroud for the Printrbot Simple Metal that divides the air flow from the radial fan into three individual tubes then redistributes the flow all around the hot end's tip in order to provide all-around cooling and improve print quality. Unlike other fan shrouds that provide all-around cooling, the Tentacle Fan Shroud provides all-around cooling without extensively obstructing access to the hot end. It was designed around the Ubis 13s hot end, therefore it will also work with the Ceramic Ubis hot end since its diameter near the nozzle is smaller than that of the Ubis 13s hot end. Inspired by jerryroane's "Printrbot fan ducts into three streams" http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1397974 IMPORTANT!

Make sure your fan is mounted like such so that the shroud aligns properly.
