RWG Filament Cooler modified with OpenSCAD (DOES NOT WORK WELL)

thingiverse

I designed this filament cooler using OpenSCAD as a modification of RWG Filament Cooler.\nThanks to Russ Gries for designing the cooler I used as my inspiration.\nSince I can't print vertically, I made the decision to modify the cooler to print horizontally in 2 parts instead.\nTo accommodate the Lyman Filament Extruder v5 design I am working on for my custom build, I customized this part further.\nUsing Slic3r, I split the two parts, hence the adjustments you'll need to make to your own printer settings.\nOnce you've downloaded the OpenSCAD files, modify the location of the STL files in order to edit them effectively.\nI added three millimeter holes so that this cooler can be securely attached to a 3D printed plate using a larger fan, along with the following adapter.\nIf you need to make a custom adapter for any size of fan, use this design on Thingiverse: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:735038\nFor my version, I took the OpenSCAD file from that model and made adjustments to create a mounting plate suitable for fans ranging in size from 40mm up to 50mm.\nBEWARE: It is crucial to print this model with full support; if you use ABS, be aware of how it will warp unsupported parts - particularly the fan & mount if your printer has an extruder fan installed.\nHINT: You might have better luck flipping the design before printing - I tried to print upright twice and was not successful, which is why I uploaded a revised file flipped for improved stability and structural integrity.\nThe following dimensions will help you make your custom adapter fit perfectly onto this mounting plate:\nfanPlateDia=33;\nfanPlateDistanceBetweenScrews=28;\nfanplateWallThickness=10.0;\nfanPlateScrewDia=3.4;
