Cross Flow Fan

thingiverse

/****29 JUNE LONG OVERDUE UPDATE:/ shit so I've been quite busy with other projects, I'm putting this on hold but giving whoever wants the STEP files to work on this. I'm using fusion360, if anyone would like different export versions, do let me know. This is the first time exporting a file so it might not turn out so good. FATAL ERROR WITH DESIGN: The gearing slows down the fan rather than speed it up. If anything just drop me a comment and I'll address it. /*****/ Project in the works, uploading so people can look at it, maybe take it further. The idea behind it is a laminar flow fan to be mounted OUTSIDE your 3d printer, at the printer head level. This hopefully should give a good laminar flow of air, cooling the filament soon after it exits the nozzle, resulting in delightful 3D prints that you and your generations to come can look at and marvel. This is just the housing, the mount for the motor and the coupling between my gear, ball bearing and shaft. I'll upload a new file soon incorporating all of these together.
