Printerbot Simple Metal Uprated Fan Shroud

thingiverse

This is a fan shroud I designed for my Printrbot simple metal printer and I really thought it made a difference to the print quality. It stoops much lower to the print bed and covers a 16mm wide band across the hotend nozzle. With a smaller exit aperture, the air has a potentially higher output speed even with the standard equipment fan. Hope you enjoy the part. Regards, Resolute Eng. Print Settings Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: No Resolution: 0.2 Infill: 100 Notes: I print it using Cura. 100% infill. Approx 30 print speed. layer height of 0.2. When I print this part I find if I skewer a 2.5mm allen key wrench through each fixing hole, it reams them to the perfect size for the m3 bolts to self tap into and negates the need to re use the M3 nuts.
