Cooling Fan Duct For Wanhao Duplicator i3 V2.1 / Monoprice Maker Select
Description
After Reading Online Trying To Diagnose Some Print Quality Issues I'Ve Been Having With The Monoprice Maker Select (Wanhao Duplicator I3 V2.1), I Determined They May Be The Result Of Inadequate Cooling. My Attempts To Find Something On Thingiverse That Fit My Printer All Failed. There Were A Few Options But They Mostly Used A 60Mm Fan Or Blower -- Neither Of Which I Had On Hand. This Uses The Stock Screws And 40Mm Cooling Fan But I Haven'T Refined The Design Yet So The Screw Holes Aren'T Very Robust. Don'T Force The Screws Or You May Split Your Print. If Needed Ream The Holes A Bit And Don'T Over-Tighten The Screws. The Picture Of My Printed Duct Was Taken After I Used It For 30 Minutes To Print The Cable Chain Link. I See No Signs Of It Melting Or Distorting From The Heat Of The Extruder. I Printed This At Low Quality Settings Since I Was Anxious To Give It A Whirl. This Is By No Means A Perfect Design Or The Final Version. I'Ve Never Attempted A Part Like This And It'S The First Time I'Ve Used Fusion 360. At This Time I Lack The Skill/Talent/Experience/Knowledge To Get The Design I Want Into The Software So I'Ll Be Improving This As My Skills Progress. Update 01/10/2017: As Requested I'Ve Uploaded A Version Suitable For A 50Mm Fan. **Warning:** Please Check The Screw Spacing Of Your Fan Bracket Before Printing This. This Only Fits Brackets With A Spacing Of ~30Mm. I Tested The Original Parts And Printed Them As Shown Without Supports. *The 50Mm Version Is Untested*. It May Not Print As Oriented Or Without Supports, The Part May Not Be Level With The Print Bed, And I Did Not Have A 50Mm Fan To Get Measurements From So I Just Did A Google Search And Winged It. If You'Re Willing To Give It A Shot Please Report Back So I Can Take It Down, Fix It, Or Give Others The Confidence To Try It. Thanks.
