Ventilation kit for Flashforge Creator and Qidi printer

thingiverse

As my printer dominates the living room, inhaling fumes isn't pleasant (and probably unhealthy). So I designed this ventilation kit, using a vacuum hose, which can be hung out of my window. This reduces fumes to a nearly imperceptible level, making me very pleased with the outcome. The files contain: - A 120 mm fan duct with threaded vacuum hose connector - An endcap for the other end of the vacuum hose to protect it This is also required: - A 120 mm PC fan, USB powered (AliExpress) - A 120 mm fan filter (from AliExpress, or you can print one) - A vacuum hose, inner diameter 40 mm, outer diameter 49 mm, thread distance 6 mm (AliExpress) - An aluminum plate 20 x 30 cm, thickness 1 mm (AliExpress) Building the ventilation kit is straightforward: Replace the left side window with the aluminum plate (cut to 24 x 30 cm), in the center of which an 11 cm diameter hole is drilled, and holes for attaching the fan and holes for attaching it to your printer's frame. Place the fan at the outside of the plate, the filter at the inside (there isn't enough room to place the fan inside the printer). That's it!
