Combined Ender3 Direct Drive, Fan duct, and BL Touch mount

Last crawled date: 4 years, 3 months ago

This a remix of a few items to make an all in one solution for the hotend on Creality Ender 3 and similar.
This item gives you Direct Drive, a BL Touch Mount with thickened area to eliminate the springs, and a built in fan duct system in one piece. It will need supports, as it is a fairly complex part. The outer channel has small holes for zip ties to make cable management at the hotend a breeze. I printed in 3DFuel's Daffodill Yellow Standard PLA.
Edit 1: I decided to print in the verticle orientation...with the base of the cooloing duct on the build plate. I used Conical supports, Everywhere, and a support blocker through the cooling duct part. Updates and pics as progress is made...
DO NOT PRINT!!! working on V2 right now, as I have discovered a flaw that will make the finished part quite flimsy and useless. Redesigning to eliminate and reduce need for supports.
V2 posted. Made some changes to make for less supports and to strengthen a weak point.
Print with 4 walls and 5-10% infill. Still need support blocker in cooling duct
