I can't say anything about the longevity or the performance when it comes to the prints, but it looks amazing, is super lightweight and does create a lot more airflow than the original cover. So far; Great Job, thanks a lot!

tldr not compatible with stock k1c (2025) door hinge, and y stoppers are not comptiable with k1c (2025)
fyi on my k1c (2025 moddel) the y stoppers do not fit, also even if they did they would not stop it as there is a pretty good gap between the x rail and the y rail when doing x/y homing so the fan hit the frame durring that, this then causes the tool head to take the frame as the y maxium vaules which causes it to slam the fan into the door hindge on the start of every print. so to fix this i am going to be installing this mod whcih places the hinges on the outside https://www.printables.com/model/916563-creality-k1-k1c-door-hinges-geared-print-in-place
@c2_4630132 thanks for the feedback mate. It seems Creality made some changes to K1 printers since I designed these. It works ok on my printers (first and second generation K1)
@eugenions yeah affter using the print a bit more it over estamtes the y axis and tries to print on the screws by the built plate and the wiper which took the wiker off comeplty so now i need to find a way to mod a y limiter into my printer
Could you please share STEP, I using chcpro hotend in K1? Thank you!
Hi. Very good work, but on the K1C with the chc pro hotend, the design rests on the table. Is it possible to get STEP files for modification? I would appreciate it. (edited)
@_357737 sure why not? step sent to your DM
@eugenions any chance you could share STEP files of this marvelous design? 👉👈
@k1801_1379758 Sure, why not. Sent you via DM
What am I doing wrong? The part is stuck to the hotend and melting.
Another question I have is, how do I install the Y-Axis Stopper? I haven't used it and I don't know how to install it.
If anyone can help, I would be very grateful!
Thats a bit odd because the duct sits perfectly aligned on my printers. It seems to me you have some sort of misalignment on the toolhead assembly. Perhaps reassembling could fix it. About the Y stopper it sits like on this picture. You just have to remove the screw, push the stopper into place then put the screw back.
tks a lot @eugenions !
Hi,
I have a k1c, I am struggling to find where the small x axis protectors mount. Would you be kind as to explain?
I really would like to fit this nozzle but i fear my brain is too small to figure it out 😅
This fan duct has significantly improved overhang performance on my Creality K1, and it has a clean, professional look. If I had to point out one downside, it's that running the part cooling fan above 50% causes a noticeable vibration noise. It’s not a big deal when I start a print and leave the room, but since my printer is in my home office, it can be a bit distracting. That said, I’m not docking any stars because the functionality is a major step up from the stock setup. Great work, and thanks for sharing!
@dressyspider look at the longer version I added into remixes, I had this same issue and after talking to the creator he sent me a version that had a longer standoff, effectively reducing the vibration. It's still there but way less prominent.
Great design! I absolutely love it!
Made with Polymide PA6-CF.
36g with the fan and Ti screws :)
Duct touching the buildplate? It seems you're using a nozzle shorter than stock. In that case a remix would be necessary. Let me know if you want the step files for adjusting the design at will
@eugenions Yes, please give me the step files to adjust for my nozzle (edited)
