LESHP/SINIS Z1 3D Printer Radial Fan Duct & Bracket by mycroftPXS4W

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago

Having abandoned my attempts to produce an acceptable fan duct design for the stock fan on the Z1 3d printer, (as sold under the brands "EZT", "SINIS" & "LESHP"), i've moved on to a larger radial fan - similar to that on other printers - a "DF5015SM".
Fan Duct:
Version 1: Single exit air duct
Version 2: Three-way exit air duct
Also included is a bracket that will allow you to mount the fan to the Z1, using the two unused threaded M3 screw holes in the top of the Z carriage.
Photos included show how/where it attaches.
Bracket:
Version 1: Initial design; works well enough with no problems encountered.
Version 2: Improved design; resolves the theoretical possibility of the fan pivoting laterally on the single mount point of original bracket.
Note:
The eagle-eyed will also note that instead of using the stock retainer for the hotend, i'm using a washer - this is because the stock retainer piece will not fit the e3d v6 clone hotend i've now fitted. As such, i'm using a washer to hold it in place, fixed with two short m3 screws left over from the initial build.
