Xafang cooling fang for Creality Hotend
Description
**Part cooling fan and mount / hotend fan duct for the Creality hotend (eg Ender 3)** : - maximise the visibility of the nozzle - improve part cooling - maximise hotend cooling - maximum stability Multiple options available: - Mount with or without cable-tidy - 4010 fang (stock blower) - 4010 fang more clearance version - to allow mounting with direct drive mods - 5015 fang (5015 blower) - 5015 fang more clearance version - to allow mounting with direct drive mods (I've used my own https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3622476 as reference so please double-check clearance before printing if you're using something significantly different.) Print upright using _tree supports_ for best results. If using a slicer that can't do tree supports you may need to lay the duct flat instead. ___ *Parts needed :* - two m3 nuts - these slide into the square capture holes on either side of the mount - two m3 x 12 or m3 x 16 bolts to hold the duct to the mount - these screw into the captured nuts. - four m3 x 16 bolts to hold the hotend fan to the front of the mount. - stock fans (4010 fan and blower) or 4010 fan and 5015 part cooling fan - one OR two m3 x 5 bolt to attach the mount to the plate - two m2 bolts to hold the part cooling fan onto the duct (stock 4010 part cooling fan) or a short length of ptfe to hold the 5015 blower onto the duct, Please post your makes, and comment if you have any suggestions - constructive feedback would be appreciated :) ___ *Changes* Update 28 July 2019 - added "more clearance" version of the 4010 fang. Update 3 May 2019 to add final Version 2 of the mount - complete redesign to improve fit and hotend cooling. - version with or without cable tidy "more clearance" version of the 5015 fang - reorients and slightly moves the blower position to allow enough room for a direct drive mod Update 5 April 2019 to add version 1.3 of the ducts and mount - improved tolerances on the duct mountings to improve fit - adjusted angle of cable mount to prevent issues when moving all the way to the right Update 13 March 2019 to add version 1.2 of the 5015 duct - better fit. Updated 23 Feb 2019 to add version 1.2 of the mount: - improved alignment pegs - narrowed capture nut holes - slight adjustments to cable mount angle and size - tweaked tolerance on the mount so it fits more securely Updated 9th Feb 2019 to version 1.1. a few minor improvements including: - increased plenum interior dimensions - tweaked nozzle for improved directional airflow - added pegs behind mounting holes on mount for improved stability - slightly adjusted mount dimensions and geometry
