3d printer part cooling

Random or Off Topic
1

So my printers with Klipper, and other upgrades can now print better/faster. I now need to upgrade cooling. Anyone in here, have a favorite fan duct?

I have an ender 3 pro and a longer (that has a complete ender micro swiss direct drive, so basically and ender.)
I have been looking at hero me gen 7, the parts are open source, but he charges for Documentation. Printables says 3 bucks, but go to his website and it is 5 bucks.

i see satsana, voron, etc. Just not sure which to go with. I got regular pla at MRRF and it is curling up do to my speed and my cooling being sub par (still factory cooling.)

What says this wonderful community!

I know the 24V fans I have here for my next build push a whole lot more air than any 12V fan I have used. Other than that I have seen two fans, or that cross bed fan system.

The way I solve it is make sure my minimum layer time is dialed in, and always try to print more things at once to keep that minimum layer time up. I think mine is set to 12 seconds, maybe 20…off the top of my head.

PLA is the most sensitive as far as I know other filament should not need as much cooling.

That is what I am finding. I may have to buy the hero me instructions and go for it. They use the 5015 or the 4020. My fans are already 24 v, that I am aware of. Away on business right now.
Thanks Ryan.

My old Ender is outfitted with the dual 5010 Hero Me ducts. Maybe gen 5? It pushes A LOT of air. Rarely ever ran them at 100%.

For 3-5 bucks I’d say it’s worth it. Although is it just the newest gen that you need to pay for? Older gens would work too if they are free.

Or you could go the Dui (@forcerouge) way and water cool it.

This is for part cooling, not the hot end, else i might have considered it.

So thank you. I am going to try this one. Looks like mediamans hero me 5 is gone but this is a remix! Hero Me Gen 5 Micro Swiss Direct Drive Gantry Adapter/Base by heffe2001 - Thingiverse

Found the original now. The part above is not complete!

One of the guys that has my printer is using one of these.

Flexing with a Noctua on your printer, eh?

Real men cool with carbonite!

Yeah a silent, over-priced fan next to two loud 5010 blowers. You can tell I’m really smart and make good financial decisions! :money_with_wings:

The voron stealthburner uses a 5010 blower. Should be easy to find a mount for it.

Yeah, I saw those, but decided not to… hmmm… I don’t know the proper term. Maybe @Tokoloshe knows a good word for it. Anyway, no need to ____-shame anyone for using a particular high-performance item alongside any number of… lesser-performance items that may mitigate the benefits of aforesaid premium item.

So i am going old school with satsana. Hero me creator removed all pdfs from all gens and the pieces i printed were wrong. On top of it all. I found my problems. A) did not do save_config after re mapping bed, b) i put a chinese bi metal heatbreak on. Wont do that again, my heat sink was so hot i could not touch it. And of course it locked itself into my heat block. Printer is back stock and printing again. Learning processes!!

I think both printers will get satsanas

Thoughts on Hero Me Gen7 part cooling system (Lego inspired system for part cooling)?

Looks like Ryan, V1E Logo, and Stefan were all photo/video bombing this interview during RMRRF.

I tried the fan ducts last night, it was very wobbly. I found the satsana for my microswiss that someone modified to have a 5015 fan. I am trying it right now.

not a fan of the hero me.
