Last crawled date: 4 years, 1 month ago
This is a filament cooler that I've designed for my Geeetech I3 B Pro printer. With slight adaptations might fit to other printers. Feel free to remix it.
It is made from 3 parts:
The cooler support that attaches the cooler to the extruder
The pipe adapter
The nozzle pipe
You can use the the nozzle pipe provided in the model but I recommend to make it from aluminium, see instructions bellow.
You will need:
Cooler Blower Turbo Fan DC 12V Fan with 50x50x15mm (see pics)
3x M3 bolts ~5mm length
1x M3 bolt 25mm
1x M3 Nut
Here you can see the cooler in action, printing a simple [bridge test]:https://youtu.be/JrjaLDI71sg
UPDATE 1 - This cooler was mainly designed for printing bridges. For normal objects disable the cooling or move the aluminium pipe a little bit away from the nozzle. You can also try to let the cooling enabled but remove the pipe completely letting the air to flow from distance
