*REMIXED* Hydra Fan Duct & Tool Change System for Ender 3

thingiverse

Well it's been a while but I wanted to share this remix, converting the standard hotend mounting to a more versatile setup - magnetic holder for hotend. I never planned on making changes to all the files for the Ender 3 setup, but that's what happened in the end. Still the same design and construction, and still operates and mounts to the Ender 3 as the original. Only small changes were made. Extended the BMG mount to the extruder to the hotend since it is now 6-10mm further out in the y-direction. Moved fan mounting to the hotend (with mount designed for Micro Swiss or stock hotend). Tapered back the design around the hotend area, on both rear and side duct mounting parts, to allow clearance for the mount. Redesigned fanduct egress end (the side the air comes out), adding an angled extension to reposition duct ends to center on the nozzle as it was moved. Felt like a lot more work while making the changes, but guess not - still yes... I just know it's done!!
