Layer cooling fan duct for Da Vinci 1.0 3D printer with the E3Dv6 mod
Description
After Installing The E3Dv6 Hot-End On My Da Vinci 1.0 Printer Using My [Thingie:707530](Http://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:707530), The Next Logical Step Was To Create A Suitable Active Layer Cooling Fan For Pla (And Also For Abs, When It'S Really Necessary). While Initially I Attempted To Modify Some Of The Already Existing Designs, With Varying Degree Of Success, Eventually I Figured That It'D Be Better To Start From Scratch And Model A Custom Fan Duct That Would Blow As Close As Possible To The Nozzle Tip, Rather Than All Over The Bed. So I Came Up With This Design, Which Uses A 50Mm 5V Fan That You Can Power Using The Wiring Of The Stock Extruder Fan (While Powering The E3D'S Fan Directly From Some 12V Input Source), In Order To Be Able To Control Its Speed Via Gcode. I Haven'T Run Any Tests To Compare It Against Other Layer Cooling Designs But It Seems To Have A Pretty Nice Airflow. I'M Quite Impressed! Additionally, This Model Doubles As A Stabilizer For The Extruder, Since It'S Designed To Fit Tight Under The Stepper Motor, Acting As A Sort Of Wedge That Further Strengthens The Set.
