Makerbot i3Pro print cooling fan. Geeetech MK8 extruder, blower fan setup.
Description
16Jan16 @ 20:16 This Is A Print Cooling Fan That I Designed For My Makerbot I3Pro. I Could Not Find Another One That I Could Get To Work With My Hotend (Mostly Due To Nozzle Orientation And Height), So I Decided To Design My Own. I Had A Hard Time Printing My First Nozzle Design Because I Had No Print Cooling Capabilities, So I Modified It To Be Printed Easier Without Cooling. The Last Thing I Want To Do (And I Haven'T Simply Because I Have Been Lazy) Is Cut Away All The Extra Support That I Had To Add To Make It Print Correctly Without A Bunch Of Overhangs. I'Ll Get To That Soon And Will Upload A Cleaner Version That You Can Print After You Have This One Installed And Working. I Used A Generic 12V 50Mm Blower Fan 5015 (50X50X15Mm) That I Found On Ebay. Works Great So Far. I Raided My R/C Parts Bin For Various Fasteners. Sorry For The Lack Of Details, But My Printer Is Now In My Closet And I Have Had Too Many Ales To Get It Out Right Now And Measure All The Bolts. I Printed All The Parts Using Makergeek Grey Pla Set At 207C In The Hotend And 60C For The Bed. To Get This To Work, I Had To Move The Wiring To The Other Side Of The Print Head, And I Also Had To Rotate The Extruder Motor Either 90 Or 180 Degrees, Can'T Remember Which. No Big Deal There. Also Please Keep In Mind That I Designed This Around My Particular Hotend Nozzle Placement, Which Might Be Lower Of Higher Depending On How Far The Nozzle Throat Is Threaded In. I Would Suggest Adjusting The Nozzle Throat Rather Than Altering The Nozzle Dimension, But That'S Up To You. Sorry For The Orientation Of The Stl Files. I Rotated Them In Slic3R But Forgot To Change The Solidworks Source Files. If You Have Trouble With Them Let Me Know And I Will Upload New Ones That Have Them Orientated The Right Way. Leave Me A Comment And Let Me Know What You Think!
