Qidi X-Pro Metal Nozzle Slim Dual Vortex Fan Duct

thingiverse

This is a remix of 3715393 Slim Dual Vortex Fan Duct by ontherunstudio. I had been using that duct with great success with the stock QIDI fan adapter as provide by "ImJustAsking" thing 4600594. However, even made from ABS the duct assembly would eventually sag and begin to crack in the middle. I made the entire duct out of polycarbonate, and still eventually (after many high temperature prints) it began to sag/crack. This remix has only been tested with the Qidi X-pro with Micro Swiss all metal hot end upgrade. The all metal upgrade shortens the nozzles by 8mm and so this duct is required. How is this different (aka: remix) ? Where the two bolts hold the duct to the printer head carriage, the model has been reinforced at each end to the full extent possible. With this model printed from PC-MAX filament, I have had ZERO sag or cracking issues. The fan adapter (included) I designed from scratch and allows the stock QIDI fan to be used with the duct and is a smoother design to promote high airflow. Two bolts are needed to mount the duct assembly to the carriage and a picture of that hardware from amazon is shown.
