CTC Replicator Clone Cooling Fan duct by Tempy111

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

Basiclly a fusion of two different designs, I loved the Heavy Duty fan duct by EcTechTime but I didn't like how it clipped onto the head (replace two of the screws which hold on the fans with longer ones, attach this via them) as it made it a real pain if you needed to adjust or clean something or anything like that. Meanwhile the Fan duct be Blackbird2016 was okay but not great (I think they said it was a bit of a test of ideas) but it clipped on perfectly with two little screw adjustable hinges and an under carriage clip. So I fused the two ideas together. I've extended the range of the air flow mostly just to line up enough with the posts. I've included the 'bracket' clip (hope you don't mind) so it's all together.
Just print 2 clips, 1 duct, and then you need two small screws and nuts to attach the brackets to it. This is designed for a 50mm fan but I use a 40mm standard, so just print out Monkeyturnips's 40mm to 50mm adaptor (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2424908) slip it into to fan place and bingo.
No screws needed to attach the Fan as it's a snug fit and this is easy enough to take off when you need to do a bit of work.
I would recommend some form of cooling when printing, just because of the bridge work, but that's all up to you.
