3D model description

This is a fan shroud l´ve made for my 3D-printer. I own a Creality Ender 5 Pro, modified with a Micro-Swiss direct drive and all metal hotend.I´ve tried several fan shrouds and all of them have had drawbacks that I couldn´t live with. The criteria for me has been.

  1. FOW, I want to see my nozzle and what I am printing.
  2. Good cooling capabilities.
  3. Adjustable in Z.
  4. Easy to print, no supports needed.
  5. Keep it as standard as possible (hotend mounted securly and not in printed parts.
  6. BLTouch mount
  7. Not too heavy.

The fang is adjustable in Z for different nozzles and the hotend fan can also be adjusted in Z.

The offset for the BLTouch is -48, -10.5, -1.500 (be aware and check your Z-offset).
I´ve used PETG for the shroud and mount for the hotend fan. The mount for the part cooling fan shroud iteslf and cable manegement works with PLA.

I am using an axial 40x40x20 fan for both part cooling and hotend, I am aware that the output for an axial fan can be limited compared to centifugal fan but this shroud has a very good throughput of air and has infact outperformed my other shrouds.

I´ve included some fan covers/guards as well.

You gonna need some M3 bolts along with nuts. You also need to thread for M3 screws for the BLT. And some M4 25 mm for the fans (if 40x40x20).

Disclamier, you print and use this at your own risk. I´ve used this for quite some time with no issues what so ever.

3D printing settings

No supports needed, print with the flat sides down. The big shroud should be printed upside down, e.g. the side where you put the 40x40 fan shoud be on your bed. Depending on how good adhesion you got you may need a brim.

0.1 mm layers looks better but 0.2 mm works just as good. I´ve used 15% infill.

The fan guards might need some supports.
