This is just a funny gadget to make your printer look more interesting / cool / unique, I highly doubt it has any effect on performance, but it does look funny.

I thought it would look cool on this great part cooling upgrade for the Creality Ender 3 V3 SE made by Emil Sadkowski: https://www.printables.com/model/776657-ender-3-v3-se-5015-fan-upgrade
because the fan is pertruding out the side.
As most of these fans have the same shape (at least I hope lol, I've only got this one) it should generally fit on a 5015 fan.

I made it in ondsel / freecad and I will leave the project file to download as well, feel free to remix it however you want!

In the project file I also included some variables like Pipe Height, Funnel Thickness and so on that can be changed to customize the funnel a little bit. Also attached some screenshots of Ondsel where I show the variables.

How I printed mine:

Nozzle: 0.4mm

Layer Height: 0.2mm

Material: PLA / Eryone Tricolor Silk PLA in this case

Infill: 100%

Walls: 3
Top/Bottom Layers: 5 each (thus it would be 100% infill anyway)

Supports:
The 80° Overhang printed totally fine on my Ender 3 V3 SE,
even the 90° angle printed fine but there was one print line that fell down but it still finished okay, so I would suggest supports with high overhang angles.
Still depends on your printer of course.


Made a small video showing it on my printer in action:


If you like the print a like or a share would be greatly appreciated! ^^

PS:
This is my first own model I'm also a noob at CAD, so dont look at the sketch for the baseplate too closely xD
