XYZ DaVinci 1.0 Bowden Carriage Fan Mount 50mm

thingiverse

This is a custom-made layer cooling fan mount and duct specifically designed for [this Bowden carriage](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:816784), with its original model also compatible (untested). The design allows it to clip onto the carriage from the rear end, supporting a 50mm fan that can be easily obtained on Amazon at an affordable price. It's essential to note that you might need to extend the Y endstop by attaching cardstock or thin plastic to the optical endstop flag on the Y carriage endstop if your fan hits the rear Y-axis rotating rod during homing. Additionally, adjusting the hotend height in the carriage may be necessary for optimal airflow when using the first carriage. A Fusion 3D file is provided. It's also crucial to add custom starting G-code to your prints, moving the extruder approximately 80mm out of the home Y position to prevent the fan from clipping anything on its way to start a print. If you have any questions about implementing these steps, feel free to comment or send me a private message. With this fan mount, I now have everything I need for my Bowden DaVinci 1.0 (Wades Extruder, E3D v6, the carriage and fan mount)!
