Radial fan mount Tronxy

thingiverse

My Tronxy X1 printer is an incredible machine, yet it comes with its share of issues. One such problem was the original fan mount's placement, which was a bit too low. This made it difficult for the printer to reach optimal temperature. To address this issue, I designed and printed the body of a supercooler from Thingiverse (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1906391). Although this solution helped with temperature regulation, it introduced another problem - excessive stringing. The original fan mount had an advantage in that it cooled the extruded plastic as well. My new goal was to find a lightweight and elegant way to incorporate a 50mm radial fan I purchased to cool the extruded plastic. On Thingiverse, I discovered a post (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2184575) that caught my attention. This design offered two benefits: it resembled my existing extruder mount, and it provided a minimalist mount for a radial fan with a nice form factor. After printing this design and combining it with the 360 nozzle fan from Thingiverse (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1620630), I found that the fanduct was placed too high, resulting in overcooling of the hotend and the return of the original problem. Despite its flaws, I liked the design's sturdiness and decided to remodel it to fit on the left side of my mount without obstructing the limit sensor. Note: The Solidworks part is not well-organized due to my limited experience with 3D design software at the time. If you only need to use it in an assembly, I recommend adding the step file instead. In summary, I needed a part cooler for my Tronxy X1 but couldn't find a suitable print online. So, I designed one myself.
