Tagged: Fan duct

A fan duct for a 3D printer is typically a small, hollow, tube-like component designed to direct airflow from the cooling fan onto specific areas of the 3D print. It is usually made from plastic or other lightweight materials. The shape of the fan duct can vary but often features a rounded or curved design to efficiently channel air. The duct has an inlet that connects to the fan and one or more outlets that focus the airflow onto the printed object or the print bed. The design of the duct is crucial as it ensures even cooling, which is essential for preventing warping and ensuring good print quality. Some fan ducts are specifically designed for certain printer models, ensuring a perfect fit and optimal performance. The fan duct is usually mounted close to the print head and is an integral part of the printer’s cooling system.
