GEEETech i3B (METAL version): Single Extruder FAN & LED (V4 with Radial FAN) by Luca_Benedetto

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago

Hi,
now GEEETech proposes the Acrylic Prusa I3 pro series, B for single extruder and C for dual extruder, with metallic parts instead of original printer ones.
Quite immediately I’ve ordered the upgrade kit in order to improve the stability and the quality of my, already not-so-bad printer, unfortunately the customization I’ve designed for the plastic version of this printer cannot be used on the metal one, so I’ve started designing a completely new customization, starting with all lesson learned from my original customization!
One, main, lesson learned was to decouple all contact, in order to enable easy mounting, maintenance and upgrade!
Here the Mono Extruder FAN & LED component of my new customization in his fourth iteration...
... compared to previews V3 I’ve “just” completely redesign the cooling subsystem around brand new Radial Fan, with a beautiful circular system to cool down print area at 360° wide!
Two components, #1 and #5 are little different is you have the new, black, feeder compared if you have the metal one, I’ve design #1 and #5 for both, “B” are for Black feeder and “M” are for Metal feeder
As usual in all my design I’ve split all in order to have an easy print of each, and also an easy mounting, with glue, after print!
PS: after the installation of this customization is a good Idea to re-execute the PID Autotest… I’ve do two time, one with fan power off and one with fan power on, and both was really different from the same test executed just couple hours before!
IF YOU “FALL IN LOVE” OF THIS DESIGN, PLEASE, REMEMBER THAT IT TAKE TIME TO BE CREATED, DESIGNED AND SHARED… SO “MAYBE” YOU CAN USE THE “TIP DESIGNED” BUTTON ON MY PROFILE!
