UM2 Single- & Dual-Head Fan-Cages (CPv9-Final)

thingiverse

Human: Short description: • CPv9 Type A...The ultimate upgrade for the original fans-cage of the UM2 (...first design). Use Type B...For the newer UM2 with the ~11mm shorter print-head. • The perfect alternative to the factory setup. Fits most Ultimaker 2 printers, including UM 2 Go, UM 2+ Go, UM 2+, UM 2 Extended, and UM 2+ Extended. Description: • I've perfected CPv9 after extensive testing. This new design minimizes air accumulation near the build surface, ensuring the hotend remains less affected by cooling. • With CPv9, both the printhead and object being printed receive simultaneous cooling from two separate channels. The heated air from the printhead-cooling is removed efficiently, reducing burns from accidental touch or a clogged rear fan. Even with one channel offline, the success of your print job is never at risk. Cooling Enhancements The coldend receives better cooling, resulting in reduced premature wear and increased efficiency. Targeted Object Cooling The cooling air stream passes closer to the filament outlet, achieving a more targeted and powerful cooling performance than before. Experience the difference for yourself! Improved Design Philosophy After countless hours of experimentation, I was pleasantly surprised by the upgrade's exceptional performance. That's why I urge you: try this upgrade for yourself and discover its true potential. The End of an Era - 12 Screws Becomes Obsolete Imagine your Ultimaker 2 working more efficiently without any additional components or optional parts. Key Benefits: 1. Successful Dual Extrusion You'll be able to cool one or two coldends adequately, ensuring the highest quality prints. 2. Better Object Cooling Experience unparalleled object cooling with this upgrade. 3. Quieter Operation Your printer will run smoothly and quietly. 4. Easier Maintenance Cleaning your printhead has never been simpler. Important Notes Please find more detailed information in the included download package.

Print Settings: Printer: Ultimaker 2 Resolution: 0.1mm Infill: 33% Bill of Materials: Use Kapton film to insulate the hotend effectively, ensuring improved temperature stability. Red-Marked Support Elements Don't worry about optimizing in your slicer - print directly with these supports. If printing in PLA, a temperature around 195°C should yield great results.
