The Hive - Hurricane Duct for V6 Hotend Remix

thingiverse

I was completely captivated by the innovative design of The Hurricane duct by @TheSniper because it was incredibly straightforward to print without supports and remarkably easy to print with no issues right from the very first try. However, I noticed two things that I would really like to modify. Firstly, I wanted the ducts themselves to be a bit closer to the tip of the hotend, and secondly, the hotend fan mount instantly melted on the bottom because it makes contact or very close to making contact with the heater block of the v6 hotend. My solution is to open up that area for more airflow. Additionally, I highly recommend placing a strip of metal duct tape on the bottom of the fan to move heat away from the plastic. I have had this hotend printing for several weeks now with zero issues and my bridges are better than ever. A huge thank you to @TheSniper for creating the original design!  You will need to make an adjustment to your print's nozzle location in your slicer. Because this moves the nozzle to a slightly altered spot than stock, use the below numbers in the image to get yours back into the center of your print area.
