Predator fan duct and led ring V2

Last crawled date: 4 years, 3 months ago

After a few month of use of my previous design, I've rebuild this new one
Two downsides on the previous design linked ot the fact the led ring was very low :
it was hiding the nozzle
the PLA was bending over the time (probably because it was close to the heat bed and probably too thin)
This new one is a mix of the original predator fan duc and a led ring, all in one piece.
The led ring support is thicker than in the previous model
It is made in a way the led ring will glow nicely by transparency accross the PLA.
I've used this hardware :

I suggest also to add a switch ... no need to have the led enabled all night !
