Fan shroud backside cooling #14

Open elektronchika opened 4 years ago

elektronchika commented 4 years ago

Dear Bondtech team,

I'm experiencing pour cooling on the back of the printed object. This is particularly visible in small objects printed in PLA, ASA, PETG and CPE (the issue is present with all filaments I've tried). There are a lot of similar complaint in Reddit for example.

Are you considering updating the fan shroud in the near future to achieve better cooling? I think that the current design cools also the heatblock from front and the side opening are blowing the heatbed, but the not nozzle.

Thank you! Lazar

Hey Lazar,

I just upgraded my Prusa i3 Mk3S to a Bondtech extruder. I created my own part cooling shroud and posted to Thingiverse here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5214069 New_Part_Cooling_Shroud_BMG_1.7.zip

Good luck, Tim
