After using dual standard fans for a while i had them running on 100% to get good results with PLA. With this fan duct i managed faster prints with 60% fan and much better results. Ive not got the ability to do any CFD calculations but if anyone has any advice to improve id be grateful

im using this fan http://ooznest.co.uk/12V-DC-40mm-Blow-Fan?search=fan
NOTE - you have to change over the polarity or if you plug it straight into the fan socket it burns out and smells awful!
ALSO note on my first few tests the fan runs really hot which ive not figured out yet. its also a bit noisier than before so it might be a good idea to isolate the frame a little with a tpu spacer to stop any high frequency vibrations.
