Wanhao Duplicator 6 Offset Fan Direct Cooling Duct (Prototype)

Description

Update: Supermagnum Variant. Significantly Less Resistance On The Nozzles For Greatly Improved Airflow. You Probably Want To Print The Magnum Out So You Have Better Bridging Before Taking On The Supermagnum, Which Has Some Large Areas To Bridge Over The Nozzles. Alternatively Printing It Upside Down Works Too, In Addition To Rotating The Angle Of The Layers A Little To Help. Https://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:2448555 Update: Centrifugal Version Of The Supermagnum As Well. Also Has A Unique Bridging Challenge That Can Be Tackled By The Same Strategies. Even More Airflow Than The Standard Supermagnum. Https://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:2452863 Surprise, The Summer Heat Has Finally Melted My Brain Enough Much Like The Pla That Oozes Out Of The 0.4Mm Nozzle Of My D6 That I'Ve Gone And Created A Completely-New-From-Scratch-But-Practically-The-Same-Thing-But-Different Direct Cooling Design. Unfortunately Thanks To The Lack Of Adequate Cooling And Slic3R Still Hating My Guts And Cura Only Hating Me A Little Less In Combination With My Rush To Get One Of These Mounted I Have An Ugly Prototype That'S Making A Less Ugly Prototype. Edits To Follow. Included Is A 13Mm Spacer Which Is Too Damn Short* For This Design But That'S Something That'Ll Be Replaced When I Get The Magnum Variant Of This Thing Up. It Still Cools And I Believe It Delivers Better Focused Airflow On The Nozzle In All Directions Except For That One Jet That Gets Obstructed By The Heater Block. *You Wouldn'T Want To Be Too Short And Too Close To Those Electronics Now, Would You? 14Mm Spacer Now Included With Proper Spacing But The 13Mm One Remains If You Like To Wear Your Jeans Too Low And Prefer Doing That For Looks Over Effectiveness. Did I Mention The 14Mm Has Speed Holes For Faster Printing? I Mean If The Road Cyclists Think They Go Faster By Drilling A Few Grams Out Of Metal Out Of Their Dropouts I Guess We Can Claim We Go 2Mph Faster In Printing. Except Here You Don'T Have To Pay 400 Dollars Per Gram To Save Material-- I Mean Go Faster. Also The Standard Version Is On And As Soon As I Actually Validate The Magnum Variant I'Ll Upload It. Don'T Worry, If You Print This, It Will Probably Look Like An Almost Failure That You'Ll Have To Tape The Sad, Sad Excuse Of A Roof To To Ensure It Actually Works. Print At Your Own Suffering And Feelings Of Rejection If You Have Inadequate Cooling. I Know What It Already Feels Like. I Recommend Printing It Flipped Upside Down Like A Turtle On Its Shell In Orientation If You Are Looking At The Uploaded Image Of It. Bridging Assist Feature Faces Downwards. A Warning: You Will Lose A Little Bit Of Print Area In The Left Corner (Perspective: You Facing The Printer) If You Use These Ducts, They Will Bump The Motor. They Effectively Take About 1 Inch/2-3Cm, As In The Legs Of A Triangle More Or Less. Obviously You Have More To Lose If You Stick Anything Like A Heatsink Onto Your Steppers.
