RWG Filament Cooler modified with OpenSCAD (DOES NOT WORK WELL)

thingiverse

This is a modification of the RWG Filament cooler using OpenSCAD. Thanks to Russ Gries for the cooler design. As I can not print vertically, I decided to modify the cooler to print horizontally in 2 parts. I modified this part for Lyman Filament Extruder v5 that I am customizing for my build. I used slic3r to split the parts into two, hence the adjustments. After downloading the scad files, you will have to modify the location of the STL files to edit them. I added 3mm holes to screw this cooler in place while attaching a larger fan using the following adapter. To make custom adapter for any fan size, use this thing: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:735038 I have modified and used the fan plate from this thing's scad file. For now, I just made the fan plate mount sufficient for an adapter. However it can be modified to actually fit a 40 or 50 mm fan. CAUTION: Print with full support. Printing with ABS will warp the unsupported part, so watch out for the extruder fan & mount if you have one. HINT: Flip it to print it might be a better idea for this model. I already tried and failed 2 times trying to print it upright. So uploaded the flipped file. Dimensions for making your custom adapter to fit the fan plate: fanPlateDia=33; fanPlateDistanceBetweenScrews=28; fanplateWallThickness=10.0; fanPlateScrewDia=3.4;
