Da Vinci Pro Fan Duct

thingiverse

When you are printing in PLA, you will need a fan duct to cool the filament right after it came out of the nozzle. With this fan duct you are able to do so with a very simple 5 volt 40x40mm fan. If you want to make a better one, please consider making this fan duct:http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1723418 It uses more powerful fans, and I use two of them. This gives even better prints, but it's more difficult to make and getting the right type of fans can be difficult. As I see a lot of other designs appearing, I also give you guys my design. The 123Ddesign files are also there, so you can tinker around with it. The only thing I ask... If you make it a better thing, please share alike with Creative Commons - Attribution - Non-Commercial license. Print Settings Printer: Da Vinci 1.0 Pro Rafts: No Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.2 Infill: 25% Notes: I used Simplify3D to create custom supports where needed. Post-Printing Just remove the supports and bring the parts together. How I Designed This Mounting instructions I used hot glue to mount the parts semi permanent on the carriage of my printer. The advantage of this is that it is strong enough to stay in place, but with a little drip of alcohol, you can easily remove ti again. When the part is in it's final stage, I would mount it with screws from the side of the carriage.
