MK3S/MK3.5 360-degree print cooling modeled after MK4S

This is a specially redesigned (MK4S @Prusa3d) 360-degree cooling system for the MK3. It is not a scaled-down copy of the version for the MK4S. This mod uses the original fan for the MK3S: 5015. The mod requires printing only four included parts and one additional M3x8 screw with a nut. You will use the remaining screws from the original cooling system.

Although the model was designed but not printed by me, it can be assumed that the realizations of the users confirm the usefulness of the idea for different versions of the MK3.

Printing parameters:

Printing parameters and type of filament as recommended by @Prusa3d.

My comment:

I came up with the idea of improving the cooling by remixing the fanduct from the MK4S for the MK3S. Prusa has a great available parts database, which allowed me to analyze the geometry of the MK4S fanduct and adapt it to a printer with a 5015 fan. I chose the MK3S for experiments. I want to use this experience to design identical cooling with a 5015 fan for my SWX2 printer.

So if you print and install the project on your MK3S, please post pictures and let me know if the project meets its purpose and if it needs any adjustments. I would be happy to hear your feedback and try to make any necessary improvements.

I have updated the description.

Update 14.05.2025

I added a fanduct in version 5. Version 4 had a handle that fit too tightly (the one without the screw).

Update 07.05.2025

Following @milfordoj comment, I have added a fanduct V4 universal version - it's an improved version that should work for printers without a enclosure as well as in an enclosure - updated with solutions taken from Core ONE fanduct.

Update 22.02.2025

I added a V3 version with a cutout for a silicone sock.

Update 19.01.2025

Taking into account the latest comments from @Wolfy_470990
I have added a version of fanDuct360mod_v3.stl which is geometrically the V2 version with added space for M3nS nut.

Update 08.01.2025
I added fanDuct360mod_v2 (version 2):
at the request of @ZsoltKallai_1242406, I adjusted the fan duct for the hotend with a silicon sock and lowered the hanging height by 1.5mm compared to the height of the standard cooling for MK3S.
