TEVO Tarantula Cooling Fan Vent & Inductive Sensor Mount

thingiverse

For those who feel their stock TEVO tarantula's hot end falls short due to the absence of a part cooling fan or an inductive sensor mount, these modifications are designed with you in mind. The fan vent is specifically engineered to hold a 5015 fan and provide ample cooling for printed parts. However, I discovered that at higher temperatures with the fan on (above 230° C), the hot end struggles to heat up and often results in a thermal runaway error, making PLA the primary material for printing when using this fan vent. No firmware adjustments are required; simply plug the fan's cord into the port labeled "Fan" on the MKS board and attach longer wires if necessary due to short ones from your fan. Having previously installed these modifications on another printer, I'm unsure of the inductive sensor used, but it's likely a common one. The inductive sensor mount is quick to print and takes minimal time. Integrating an inductive sensor requires firmware tweaking and possibly some wire crimping. Print all parts at 100% infill for optimal durability.
