About this print
A replacement fan duct designed to fit the Creality Ender 5 desktop 3D printer. It channels airflow towards the print area to improve part cooling and reduce warping during printing. The design incorporates reinforced screw tabs and raised clearance to avoid collision with printed parts. PETG is the recommended material for printer components of this type, as it withstands the elevated temperatures found near the hotend better than standard PLA.

After trying several designs, I've found Mistral-E Cooling Duct (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3255518) which worked perfectly on my Ender 5.
Still, it had some room for improvement, so I did it trying to keep the good performance:
- Raised the duct 1mm, to avoid collision while printing.
- Larger and reinforced tabs for the screws.
- Larger screw holes.
Tested with my Warping/Curling test, with great results (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3852651).
