Xvico X3 Hot End Cooling Duct by Manufactory_Dave

Last crawled date: 3 years, 5 months ago

A hot end shroud that fixes one of the fundamental issues the Xvico X3 has: The inability to heat up beyond about 210°C with the stock heat sink cooling fan, as the lack of ducting means it directly cools the heater block.
The intake and exhaust covers should be printed laid flat. The main housing should be printed with the mount for the part cooling fan (which faces forward when assembled) placed down on the bed, the part is 100% self supporting.
If you have serious heat creep issues (you probably do if you're using a stock X3) then I'd recommend doing one print with retraction turned off (see a photo of how it turns out), cleaning it up and using it to print a second one with retraction on, though you may not need to do that.
Glue the parts together with your adhesive of choice, and you're good to go!
