Rostock Max V2 Side Panel Venting

thingiverse

The stock cooling fan for the lower base on the Rostock Max V2 is pretty noisy. I think part of that is related to the grid pattern in the side panel that it is mounted on. I picked up quieter, larger 80mm fans and designed what I hope is a higher flow, quieter shroud that works with a replacement panel for mounting on the side of the printer. I also wanted to have some fun with the potential to have even quieter exhaust while still maintaining good air flow. I saw another design that modeled a jet engine shroud and I recalled how some of the newer engines have a very cool looking sawtooth pattern. I doubt this shroud design will contribute to quieter performance more than just running a quieter fan, but I think it looks cool. I've also included a shroud to mount directly on an 80mm fan. Print Settings Printer Brand: SeeMeCNC Printer: Rostock MAX v2 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: .2mm layer with .4 nozzle Infill: 20% hexagonal Notes: I printed these with Microcenter Inland ABS on a glass bed with glue stick. I do have an enclosure on my printer which makes printing large flat parts out of ABS possible. I also added anchor dots to the panels to be absolutely sure they stayed put as I printed. Post-Printing Shroud panel assembly Since the shroud and panel were being joined together at the base layers, I just brushed on some acetone and held them together for a few seconds.
