Replicator 2X Cooling Fan Duct

NEW AND IMPROVED! Revision 4 boasts modified outlets that redirect airflow downwards, minimizing its impact on nozzles. In addition, STEP and IGES file formats (R4) are now readily available for download. This design accommodates a third 40mm fan for enhanced active cooling. By circulating air from multiple directions, I aimed to optimize print quality and overcome the limitations of single-source airflow, which previously hindered my prints. To witness the transformation firsthand, visit the Thingiverse page featuring before-and-after images: http://www.thingiverse.com/make:75635 This revised design closely hugs the extruder carriage, expertly sidestepping front door hinge bolts. Ideal for PLA and ABS prints, this upgrade ensures smooth operation and improved print quality. For the Flash Forge version, visit http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:259688. Instructions: Print settings: 0.2 layer height, 2 shells, and 15% fill without raft or support. To avoid bridging issues over ducts, disable bridging and adjust the solid layer angle to 90 degrees. Before printing, ensure all "spaghetti" is cleared from airways. Remove chrome fan guards. Fan bolts are M3-10.
