This fan duct improves the air flow so the overhangs are better (up to 70\u00ba with very good quality, 3rd picture)

I recommend to use Prusament PC Blend-Carbon Fiber or PA11-CF, because they are heat resistant and to reduce weight mainly, but other filaments may work just as well.

I also recommend to use my improved fan door (to center better the fan duct): https://www.printables.com/model/621424-improved-mk4-fan-door.

Caution: from version 7.0 sometimes it is necessary to reduce the fan speed a little! A reduction of 5-10% from your previous profile is usually sufficient.

Warning 1: If the fan test fails, please remove this fan duct and pass the test; then reinstall the fan duct. The original fan duct does not need to be installed to pass the test, it is simply left free.

Warning 2: it is recommended to be used together this model (or similar): https://www.printables.com/model/566871-mk4-hotend-fan-shield-eliminates-turbulence-drafts. It prevents air turbulences from extruder fan.

Note: This fan duct can not be used with MK4S because its different fan duct new design.

Printing Parameters:

5% infill
0.1 layer height
3 or more perimeters

V5 (2023/11/13)

Solved small bug on the fan opening, please reprint again!!
Removed

V6 (2023/11/14)

Same fan duct with 5% less weight
9.40g printed with PC Blend Carbon Fiber

V6.1 (2023/11/18)

Fan duct lowered 1.5mm to better reach nozzle tip (less air in nozzle block)

V6.2 (2023/11/28)

More separation from heatbed (0,5mm)
Around another 5% less weight

V6.3 (2023/11/30)

Around another 3% less weight
Slightly improved air flow
Pass fan test!

V6.3 Inserts (2023/12/01)

Variant to use M3 thread inserts (M3x4.6x5.7mm)

V6.4 (2023/12/26)

I think now air flow is perfectly centered (please, see videos)
https://www.facebook.com/groups/1910026672591728/?multi_permalinks=3492081117719601\u00acif_id=1703616893038356\u00acif_t=feedback_reaction_generic&ref=notif
Can be used with thread inserts or without
Pass the fan test

V6.4 (2024/01/30)

Removed all the previous versions

V6.4 Wider (2024/03/18)

I have added a wider (1mm) version, in some cases seems it is not well centered (due to the fan door, mine reduces this)

V6.5 (2024/05/12)

Increased air flow pressure
Improved custom supports, easier to print

V7.0 (2024/05/16)

Even easier to print, it doesn't need supports
Better air flow distribution
Slightly increased air pressure
As v6.5 can be used with or without threaded inserts
Removed 6.4 versions

V7.1 (2024/06/26)

Added a small flange (\"triangle\") to prevent fan angling upwards, all merit to: jaxman smitty by this suggestion
