ZYYX Fan Duct

pinshape

I needed a more effective filament cooling solution when printing PLA in my ZYYX 3D printer and so I decided to switch to a centrifugal fan. Designing the duct was not an easy task, with very limited space all the way down through the extruder carriage and further down to the hotend/nozzle, thus the slightly awkward and not the most efficient design. If the duct comes too close to the build plate, use an exacto knife to carefully shorten it at the bottom. The duct should lock into place securely as should the fan when mounted. It's crucial to note that even though the MB has a 24V output, ZYYX uses a 12V fan. So if you're going to use a 12V version of the new fan, you're all set but if you're going with the 24V version, you need to remove the resistors (see picture) to get the most out of your new fan! Links to both the 12V and 24V version fans can be found below.
