Da Vinci 2.0A Duo PLA fan holder 80cm by Neotko

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

This is my 80cm fan cooler for PLA printing. Specially for difficult prints that have overhangs, without a fan I wasn't able to keep the curlings out. Prior this I used a fan on the side but the air didn't reach evenly.
I used a 80cm fan, because that's what I got in hand. I had it usb connected directly to the printer, but I turned on after the 3-4 first layers, specially if they are the brim/rafts.
Print it on ABS (because the heat too close to the nozzles) and to avoid hard-to-remove supports, print it on slic3r/simplify3d at 90 degress (stl it's already rotated), so you don't get any supports inside the air-exit. If you print it flat you might have problems removing the supports.
Remember to keep the door open since it's the only area that it will hit.
The clip and fan have a really nice grip, on fast prints it stays put, but if there's too much x-y shake, it might move, it shouldn't.
Use it at your own risk.
The design it's inspired from http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:553792 by mordiev, but the measures and clip holder didn't did it for me so I have to start from the scratch.
Note: Both parts do 'clip' ok, but if you are going to print with it, please glue both parts to avoid surprises.
