Solidoodle Press - Fan for Extruder

thingiverse

UPDATE - The blower's design has been revised, and I am reconfiguring my blower-hose adapter to match the new model specifications. The existing files will no longer be compatible with this blower. Unlike other printers, the Press lacks ample space on the print head for accessories like cooling fans, so you must either choose a very small (~25mm) fan that barely moves air or... why not simply route in air from a large blower located outside the printer? Using this blower assembly has significantly enhanced my ability to bridge gaps, and my prints are now turning out exceptionally well. Note: When attaching this assembly to your print head, be cautious where you position your parts on the bed as it restricts the full range of motion due to the hose hitting the frame of the printer when attached. The blower can be sourced from http://www.amazon.com/AC-Infinity-MULTIFAN-Control-Receiver/dp/B012CL2V3I and the hose from http://www.homedepot.com/p/American-Specialty-6-ft-Universal-Corrugated-Dishwasher-Hose-6-5806PCRHD/203132157. Printer Specifications: Brand: Solidoodle Model: Press Print Settings Post-Printing Assembly: Glue parts together Ensure you know how to strongly bond these parts using ABS plastic and acetone for a secure connection.
