40mm Fan Shroud Remix DaVinci 1.0A with E3Dv6 Extruder Mod by dricketts

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago

This has been modified from the original (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:822476) to address several issues I had:
My extruder nozzles are Stainless Steel and are several mm longer than the originals from E3D. So the fan was actually blowing on the heater block, and not the layer. I have moved the tip down 5 degrees to actually blow on the layer.
The slots on the original are not in the correct position; even when filed, the belt scrapes against it. Also, I think the belt occasionally hangs on it, causing X-Y failures in print. To get rid of this problem altogether and make it easier to install, I replaced the slots with a semi-circular indentation. This also directed ALL of the fan flow out of the nozzle with no loss.
The holes are for a 50mm fan; I wanted to use the original 40mm, 5v fans from the DaVinci so I could control it with Repetier .92. So I moved the hole slots to install 40mm fan (NOTE: These holes were just 'eye-balled', some drilling/aligning screws may be necessary).
The entire setup was about 5% too large to fit in my DaVinci housing. I reduced it so the block that holds it in is the correct size: 19mmx35mm.
This isn't pretty (modified in mesh lab), but it now works in my DaVinci 1.0A; feel free to drop me a comment!
