Hydra Fan Duct & Tool Change System for Ender 3 Ender 5 & CR10
See Below for Updates, V6 Edition Here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4253359
Firstly many thanks to AlfaBarion for suggesting such an incredibly clever name for this thing.
This is a Multi Headed beast with ease of hot end access, adjustment and serviceability.
In this thing I have:
1.Designed a system with easy swap out of various types of tool\extruder head without having to replace the duct system (The short length of Bowden tube required may vary dependant on Extruder Head selected).
2.The Hot End can be fully accessed by just removing the front Heat Sink Fan.
3.Cooling Fan Duct height adjustment is front facing and therefore much easier to adjust and access. This also results in a smaller fan duct which can be assembled prior to insertion.
4.I have included multiple cable routes to aid overall wire management.
5.Robust Fan duct design with integrated ratchet system to provide a firm secure fixing detail with no duct vibration.
