Anet A8 nozzle fan duct w/ Inductive sensor mount

thingiverse

Update: I converted to e3d-v6 so i cannot test this fan anymore. Autodesk fusion assembly file is uploaded for anyone who wants to tinker with it. Thanks! Hello! This is my first contribution to this community. Yes just another fan duct.. I know there are many out there and some very efficient ones. This though is my personal take at how i wanted it to be. Inspired by various design that i saw online. Although there are no problems with the press-fit fan ducts i wanted a more stable solution that uses the screws of the fan itself. A 18mm sensor holder is also included. Ended up using a "modular" design, having the plate behind the fan as a base and the sensor and fan attached to it with screws. That way its easier to print and the sensor can also be skipped. For the nozzle_fan one more 3x15mm screw and the accompanied nut. I also used 1 washer. For the the sensor two additional screws 3x20mm and one 3x18mm plus 3 nuts are needed. Please adjust the right height for the nozzle as shown in the pictures (the nozzle can get a bit lower than mine). Any feedback is welcome! Update: Redesign the nozzle_fan in order to avoid some deformation that i noticed due to being too close to the heating block. The distance from the nozzle is increased a bit, but the angle has been decreased and i believe it also produces better airflow. Offset for the sensor: (following the directions found on leo_n's sensor holder just edited the y offset as it is different here) define X_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER -26 define Y_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER -41 define Z_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER 0
