CTC/Flashforge Replicator 1 Turbine Fan for PLA by boucaron

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago

It is a turbine fan duct attached directly to the carriage.
There are 3 parts: the duct and 2 small attachment arms
There is not duct going around the nozzle because I did not have enough room in my application: very low height clearance.
The whole heater block must be well insulated and also the thermistor/thermocouple. When the hotend is near the heatbed there is so much flow that it will cool down the hotend so much that the thermal security of the printer will popup and stop your print
The assembly is easy, you need 2 M3 bolts. You need to drill to put the M3 or M4 that attach to the turbine fan.
(Or if you have a PhD in Ductapeology like me, you know what to do ^^)
Drawback: no duct around the nozzle and unidirectional flow.
Advantages: very high flow and very short flow path
