Hey Oliver! Thanks for the STEP file - I'm attaching a pic. of what I did. I removed .5mm from the back of the 'writing' area and made the text punch thru. So now its basically a stencil I can add different colored backing plates to. My first print came out pretty good - not sure if I'm gonna stick with the green color though... (edited)
fits fine once you figure out how to scale it. Tried 3 times and with a overall scale 100,70% the stock fans went in nice and firm. Did work great but after a couple of hours into printing ABS the fan outlets warped because of heat. I will give the offset version a try now since the fan outlets are not that close to the nozzle
@VadimPogulya_2515061 a little asa-cf. haven't noticed any issues since. the gears are hardened and the BB is stainless so should be fairly robust. I suppose more abrasive filament may eventually wear out guide tube, but would be easy to reprint and would likely present as false positives for filament runout
@Oliver_621223 ordering parts - thanks for making the thing I was looking for, I have a feeling that the stock is intentionally designed to wear out the big gear. (edited)
Nice print, the filament location was my main irk with TX, this seems like a big improvement. The tolerances were a bit tight, though that might have been due to shrinkage from printing it with ABS.
Haven't fitted it yet, but I'm confident it'll work great. Thanks for sharing, Cheers!
**Update**, a week later, I should read the Details more carefully. I have a Version 2 so it doesn't fit because there is no hole for the bottom bracket, but with a bit of VHB tape on that orphan bracket, well we'll see. Can't do any harm. (edited)
@Key3d_2218130 Your bottom panel looks different than mine. I have 7 bolts not including the outer perimeter where you only have 4. It also looks like you have it mounted 90 degrees off and upside down. i would mount to that bottom left bolt then maybe glue. If you can send me an accurate drawing of the spacing of the bolts I can make one for the version 2 (edited)
@Oliver_621223 for sure when I install my auxiliary cooler I will take some measurements for you!
It's still running a few ° cooler than before so its all good I only tacked a little glue on each of the screw holes so I can flip it when I take those measurements for you.
I also don't have the little wiring breakout on my electronics cover, just 2 holes for cables
Parts fit together perfectly, no touching up required at all. I wired my fans in parallel and I'm going to hook up a connector somewhere.
Might do what OP did but idk anything about the PSUs in these besides tapping into 24v... I will do some research and install this as safely as possible.
Thank you for the design, it's great!
Edit: I installed this, I didn't have M3 t-nuts so I used a 5/32 drill bit to make the holes big enough for M4 hardware. The FAN_1 header (on the "v2" from the YT videos) is controllable through Fluidd as "Fan 3", and on the Infimech display as "Air Filter"
Once I wire the filter it should run together (I got a lower 3000 rpm 60mm to put in the back the one they ship is a 6000rpm fan) (edited)
