- Hi guys,
In this video i try to test 4 different models of fanducts.
I used my own test cube design (www.thingivers...)
The slicer settings are basic but the main are:
Layer height = 0.15
Fan speed = 80%
Print speed = 70mm/s
The model with better results with these settings was the Radial Fan fang.
Here are the links for the models tested:
LPA fanduct V5.0

Dual Blower
www.thingiverse...
Single blower
www.thingiverse...
Radial Fan fang (winner)

Axial or blade type fans are not made for ducting applications such as part cooling. They don’t have the ability to build air pressure to overcome the drag. Squirrel cage or radial fans are made to pressurize air which is why they are used in HVAC. So no matter what device you pick, using a radial fan will push more air effectively. And then you get into a whole other discussion about placement, size, cfm, etc.
Fantastic... Was searching for a video like this the other day specifically for the Tarantula and see that you just posted one. Really helped me decide on a fan duct. Great comparison! I've watched all your other vids and haven't even got my printer yet. Really good content! Thanks for everything you do!
Thank you for your kind comment Josh :)
I'm a super newb to 3-D printing, and figuring out what blower system to use would be a huge pain. Thank you so much for doing this video!
Hi Isaiah,
Thank you for your kind comment.
If you have any ideas for new videos, let me know and I will try to make them.
I just cant thank you enough!
i'm still waiting for mine to arrive and i'll use your videos to set it right ;)
Hi,
Thanks for the feedback.
OMG, you're the best. Glad someone put different styles to the test.Thanks. Great content as always.
Chris Jericho,
thanks for the comment.
One quick question. How did your normal dual fan set-up deal with this test?
Hi Chris,
I decided not to install the dual blower because it would make me bend the wires too much.
Hi Rui,
Do you think the Dual Blower performed worse than the Radial Fan Fang because it only had 1 side attached?
It seems to me that the dual blower should work better than the fan fang since they're both doing the exact same thing except the dual blower should put out twice as much air if both sides are attached.
Thoughts?
Hi Ben,
Actually i didn't like the way the airways are positioned. They need the wires to be more bent and they are directed to the nozzle. I had a temperature drop of +- 13degrees with one blower which means that the air is being directed to the nozzle. With two blowers the performance will be much better i agree but with the same issues i pointed previously.
interesting test; I'm a big fan! ;-)
Best comparison test ever !!! Thanks.
Thanks for the feedback
How can you remove hlaf of a blower nozzel and then claim the result was not very good?
Hi James,
The single blower version is also available for download. I first decided to use the twin version but ended up on using the single version and that one was the one i tested.
It's from 189.99 to 195.99 dollars. Current best price:

I bought one
th-cam.com/video/c0llj3pBltA/w-d-xo.html
Very helpful information. Respect from Saudi Arabia
Thanks a lot for a great and informative video! I just bought a TEVO Tarantula and will need to make a part cooling fan for it.
Hi, thanks.
It is important that you print a fanduct. The print quality will be much better.
Thangz for the review Ruri. Very comprehensive and very kind of you to do this. But even you found it worthwhile as you found the best option. I've been dissatisfied with two different fan ducts so far, so I'm happy to have found this video! :¬) I was already subbed to your channel as well!
Hi Wordreet,
Thank you so much for your feedback. Hope you like the one i suggest as best in my video ;)
Heh, well as soon as I get my BL Touch working I will hopefully not get all these failed starts! I'm using 4 or 5 extra skirts and brims at the moment, plus a raft, just to be sure I got the bed properly leveled out before starting!
Otherwise, maybe I'll get a tarantula as a pet and sell th printer!
Thank you for making this video, but I've a simple question when you change fun ducts did you check the PID for changes and if you did it I think was critical to mention it. Nice video
super video! my printer is arriving soon!! looking forward to it !
Hi,
Check my other videos for calibration, tips and upgrades for the tarantula ;)
For the dual blower unit, you can rotate the heatblock by simply loosening the hex screws on the back, rotate, and tighten again.
Hi NNoradIV,
I did try that but the cables hit the wheels before i can install the fanduct. I could bend the cables a bit but i didn't want to do that.
Thank you for this. I've been using the LPA design for 4.0 and 5.0 because I liked the "look" and also because all I have on hand are 40x40 fans, but I'll go hunting today for a blower.
Hi Fritz,
Same here...been using the LPA design since the beginning and always thought it was the best in performance but after these tests i use this fang ever since.
Now I just gotta source a blower in Toronto on a Saturday xD
Hi! And thank you. You and your work are the reason I went with the TT while I wait for my big bed CR-10 upgrade. (months away). I'm not quite clear on which design you are happiest with. The dual blower? Thanks for your patience. It gets confusing sorting through so many comments!
Hi Thomas. Since the tests i'm using the radial fang design which is the one that had better results.
the turbo fan used in this video is 12V or 24V?
The dual and single blower set up in the 4:00 part of your vid is sucking hot air from the hotend heatsink. Thats why the creator of the single blower version had the fan on the left side. Nice comparison video though!
Hi Grey406,
That is a valid point. I'm not so sure that the creator thought of that because he has the cables on the other side...maybe he did and moved the cables to the other side...or not...dont know for sure :)
In the picture at 4:02 it shows he has his cables on the opposite side of the fan. Thanks to your videos, I placed an order on a Tarantula yesterday from 3dprinterbay. So hopefully in a week or two, i'll be doing your recommended upgrades :D
Hi Grey406,
Thank you for your comment :)
Congrats on the buy ;)
I use the dual blower but I loosened the set screw on the heater block and rotated it so the wires go out the front
I dare say, the first one looked like it had the most potential if the internal was baffled properly so it makes pressure (no need to run the fan as hard and can use the smaller fan) and if the vents were optimally aimed.
great video. Thanks for taking the time to do this.
You should make a video on how to install a fan
have you noticed that the dual blower that you cut was the wrong one??, because the blower sucks air from the "left side" and that is right next to the extruder, so it's sucking "warm air"... instead of away from the extruder and sucking cooler air....
Hi,
I had to use the side that did not conflict with the heater and thermistor cables...which was the fact for me not using both sides.
How is this an objective comparison when you used a big 50x15 fan on the Radial Fan fang? Would be nice to see the comparison/result for the 40x20 radial fan version of it.
Hi ruiraptor, like always very instructive video, I think that I will take exemple on it too do my French tarantulas videos. Coolidge you tell me what kind of filement did you use to print these parts ? Thank you
Hi Speedy Pidz,
I used PLA to print these fanducts. These are not too close to the heat so you can get away with PLA.
The only issue i had was with one of the fanducts that melted the tip of the fang (i show that in the video) because it was touching the heatblock. Other than that, all work well with PLA.
Do you have the links for the fans? By the way, nice video! I love this content.
Hi,
The links for all the fanducts are available in the video description.
Regards
Thank you, but I mean where you bought the fans.
Hi Beerveen,
I bought them on ebay.
Here’s an example:
www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Black-Brushless-DC-Cooling-Blower-Fan-2-Wires-5015S-12V-0-14A-50x15mm-/141823697048?hash=item210559e098:g:06oAAOSwu-BWQLH~
Thank you!!!!!
I more question. Do you need a 12v fan or a 24v fan?
Very informative comparison, thank you! I was wondering whether the fan ducts are somewhat 1) limiting the Y available width and 2) the ability to mount the autolevel optional sensor. Also, is there a way to drive the fan speed using PWM as I has on my old Anet with Melzi 2.0 board?
Hi Marco, depending on the model, some have the autolevel sensor mod and some not. You need to check on thingiverse. Some of them will limit the X travel lenght not in Y axis. Regarding the PWM control, you should connect the fan to a PWM output. The tarantula board has that output.
Thank you so much for making this video. Hopefully it will work for me also and save me some trial and error time.
:)
Very good video! I have a small question that is little off topic - about 5.50 in the clip, an image of "the fang" is displayed. In the clip you can see the connections in the background - these Connections look very professional. How do you make these thin connections?
Hi,
Thanks for asking.
I have a couple of videos explaining that.
th-cam.com/video/D4G-Qap7KDU/w-d-xo.html
and
th-cam.com/video/M94J2EbLBfU/w-d-xo.html
You can check my channel for more videos on the tarantula ;)
Hi Sam,
Thank you so much for your kind comment.
I’m sorry but I don’t have Patreon. I do have paypal for donations.
Best regards
Great video ! Is there a lot of noise differences between differents models? Wich one is the quieter ?
Hi Jekert,
Both 40x40x10 and 40x40x20 and also the blower fan don't make much noise...at least mine don't.
Thanks, I was worried about the noise produced by the 2 fans of the Dual Blower.
Hi Jekert,
The stepper motors make more noise than these small fans.
I have a big fan installed over the power supply and that one yes, makes some noise. There are models (noctua) that are very silent fans.
Yes, i understand and it's a valid point. However my big power supply fan makes much more noise :)
Thanks for the informative video! Really helped me out.
Thanks for the feedback :)
Nice comparison! What do you recommend for a dual extruder TT?
Hi Nard,
Thank you for the comment.
Regarding the dual extruder fanduct, i don't have any information since i didn't test them...sorry :(
I will print this one, but need other part for autolevel sensor
www.thingiverse.com/thing:1882128
Very nice and helpfull video thanks you. Just a question, what is the mean of the number 4020, 5015, 5012, 5010 of the fans ?
I think it's side length in mm (first two numbers) and side width in mm (second two numbers). So if you were to put the 4020 fan flat on a table, it would be 4cm on the sides and 2cm in thickness.
Great job, but excellent demonstration.
Thank you.
Thanks :)
SORRY BUT HOW YOU CONNECT THE FAN WITH THE CIRCUIT? AT WHAT CABLE DID YOU CONECT ITS POWER?
Hi,
The layer fan is connected directly to the main board to a connector labeled “FAN”.
You have to get some long wires to solder an extension cable because normally fans have a short cable.
For this test I just soldered a connector so it would be easy to swap between fans and blowers.
ok, thank you very much ;)
Nice, thanks!
When you speak about the temperature drop, is that the one of the heat block?
Hi fabts4,
Yes, the temperature drop is in the heat block.
how do you measure that temp drop? is more better or less better or is there an optimum amount?
I'm thinking about buying a Tevo Tarantula, and I'm just getting into 3D printing so this probably a stupid question: Does the Tarantula already come with a fan for the for cooling the filament?
Hi,
Unfortunatly no. You need to buy the fan (or blower) and print the fanduct.
ruiraptor Ok, Thanks. What voltage should the fan be, or does it matter?
It does matter. For the tarantula, you will need 12V fan/blowers.
ruiraptor Thank you!
i'm a fan! :) thanks for the info
Thank you so much Baschz :)
even though I reeeally hate fang designs because of their look, I just printed it and will install it today, because of your clear comparison video.
The design might not be as good looking but the performance is bar better ;)
It seems to work ok. But with mine both of the little tabs that have the screws go in for the top fan broke of (even when I pre-screwed them), so the fan is extra held in place with some duct tape, and I have the problem that sometimes for some reason the fan just stops. Don't know why yet, as it starts spinning again when I push it, so I'll have to have a look at it.
I guess your fan is not working well. It might need bearing oil.
Those are cheap so i recommend to have always a spare.
It has been kind of difficult to get the blower fan in Colombia.
I was thinkhing about to modify the bullduct in orden for it not to touch the heat block.
What do you think?
Hi jcmunozac,
You can do that. In my case it just touches the sensor screw so a small trim with an x-acto knife will fix it.
Boas Rui, Qual das impressoras preferes? Anet A8 ou a Tevo Tarantula?
Abraço
Olá,
Pessoalmente sou suspeito pois tenho uma tarantula, mas não trocava por uma Anet. A tarantula é completamente "upgradeable" e pelo facto de ter uma estrutura em metal tipo perfil bosch é uma mais valia. O facto de ter também uma grande comunidade de apoio e actualizações de firmware é outra vantagem.
Exato, eu tenho uma anet a8 e estou arrependido devido ao facto de vir com a unidade de extrusão danificada (ventoinha, hontend, thermistor e motor) e também porque tenho que fazer muitos upgrades para ela imprimir magnificamente bem.
Estava em pensar vende-la para comprar uma tarântula.
i want to thank all my fans -_- XD hahahaha
Nice video! And the music is fine by me!
Thanks for the feedback bornabrx
Which fan would you recommend for the radial fang? 4020 or 5015? In the description you can use both but which will be better?
Hi Cristu,
The 5015 will provide more power. I would recommend this one instead of the 4020.
Thanks Rui!
your videos are great! I like the ones where you are talking and explaining better, but fine with the text and music too. if I don't like the music I just turn it down.
Hi emaglott,
Thank you so much for your kind comment. Thumbs up for you :)
It's a little unfair that you cut the dual blower in half and then give it a poor review. You should have made it fit and done an honest chance.
Hi Fred,
It's true what you are saying.
However, in my opinion, a good design also means that you will be able to install it easily as much as a good performance. Have you tested the fang and the dual blower for comparison? Let me know the results if you did.
ruiraptor I am building my Tarantula now and the dual blower is my planned first "upgrade". The fang is definitely popular, but the dual blower is as well with lots of good reviews.
www.thingiverse.com/thing:1850163 - If you notice, he is running his cables out the front from his hot-end. That avoids the issue with hitting one of the side or being pinched. I'll be making this as my first real print, hopefully this weekend. Then, I am printing another one since I am sure the first one will be a mess without active cooling. I'm trying to find a remix that has someplace to mount the TT autolevel sensor as well.
Added my make to your cube on Thingiverse and put a link to the fan duct I am using in the description.
Radial fang fan with bltouch is not suitable for stock Tevo tarantula. Bltouch mount hits mks board acrylic case
I've ordered my Tarantula and still didn't receive it so sorry if this question seems stupid, but where are the cooling fan wires supposed to be connected? is there a header for them on the PCB board or they're connected directly to the power supply?
Hi, That's a good question.
The fan that cools down the board and hotend connect directly to the power supply. Only the layer cooling fan (not included with the printer) is controlled by the slicer/board and needs to be connected to the board output. For this and many other informations, you can check the new assembly video released by tevo in the new website here: tevo.cn/index.php
why is the fan fang that much better than the bullduct fan?
More flow from the radial fan.
more presure. for layer coling you need mmHg not CFM. Mix them for better rezult but get higer mmHG(if is to hig can blow away the layer so dont be gredy)
very nice comparioson
Thank you Pavan
Hi rui, Are you trying to achieve the best design that can cool the part quickly?
Hi, My goal is to find the best layer cooling fanduct. I havent tested all existing models...just the most popular.
Hi Ruiraptor, I only have a normal 4020 fan at hand, not a blower fan, which model is best for me?
Hi,
For a 4020 fan i would suggest the bull model.
I have a question! I need to plug in the radial cooler at 12v port in the font or plug in at fan port in main board ?
Hi Gabriel,
The fan for the heatsink must be always on and connected directly to the power supply.
The fan for the layer cooling you need to connect to the motherboard to the connector labeled "fan". This output is controlled by the slicer.
How many temp in your room bro. I think it maybe has effect.
can you test lpa v5 with adaptor for a 5015 fan?
Yes, i can try that. Give me a few days and i will give you feedback on this.
So I am a bit confused... :)
So these fans I have to connect to 'Fan'. But where do I have to connect the nozzle fan and the main board fan?
Hi Felix,
These are the layer cooling fans. You need to connect this fan to the main board. This fan is PWM controlled. In your slicer you can control how fast/slow it will work and at which layer height it will turn on. The fan that is cooling your heatsink above the nozzle and the fan cooling your main board must be connected directly to 12V in any of the 12V output of the power supply. These last fans must be always on and that's why they must be connected directly to 12V.
ruiraptor OK thanks for the help!
Muito obrigado pelo ótimo vídeo. Este serve na Tevo Tornado?
Olá Ivan, para a tevo tornado tem essas aqui: th-cam.com/video/hoHz5LHyFUo/w-d-xo.html
@@ruiraptor muito obrigado.
Ruiraptor, any possibilities to get your test stl file. I designed a duct that's really catching on which I can bridge consistently 200mm over open air with just ends connected. I'd like to try your stl just for fun. Thanks, Dave
Hi, Dalvid,
You can find my test cube in my thingiverse account here:(www.thingiverse.com/thing:2198654).
I would be very interested in seeing your fanduct model. If you, later on, publish it on thingiverse, please let me know ;)
Noob question. When you mention temperature drop between different models, how or where is that measured? On the DRO or sensor?
Hi Allan,
You can see that temperature drop on the display. The display shows the temperature of the hotend (which is stable) and when the layer fan kicks in, you can see a temperature drop. The board will react and stabilize the temperature afterwards.
So you need to make sure the temperature doesn't drop too low while maintaining the best cooling?
What type of fan should I use for the Radial Fan Fang? Can you provide a link?
Hi,
for the radial fan fang you need a 5015 blower. I normally buy them on ebay. Just type in 5015 blower and you will get many hits.
Cool! Thank you so much!
What exactly do you mean with temperature drop? does the temperature of the filament drop or the temperature of the nozzle?
Temperature drop is the amount of temperature that the nozzle looses when the fan/blower turns on.
For example, you are printing with the nozzle at 200ºC...if the temperature drop is 15ºC it means that the nozzle temperature dropped to 185ºC.
Ahh allright, thanks. But doesn't the printer corrects itself and heats back up to 200C then?
Yes, it corrects the value. However, with bigger temperature drop, you might get some amount of fluctuation.
Thanks for the info :)
I use the radial fang on my tarantula but if it starts at 100% within 2 to 3 seconds I get a thermal runaway. How can I prevent this?
Hi Lee,
The layer cooling fan can run at the speed you want. You define in your slicer to start at 60% then the next layer at 80% and then at 100%.
ruiraptor ok, I don't see that option in repiter Host.
Just a question, Did you print the test cube with pla or abs?
Greetings AskBruzz,
I printed the cubes with PLA.
Regards
Rui
Thanks you :)
im little confused did th second model use same fan as the third
please anwser
Hi,
The first model uses a 40x40x10 fan
The second and third model use a 5015 blower.
The last model uses a 40x40x20 fan.
Regards
ruiraptor thanks
how did you connected that new fan to electro installation cables? And why not use proper like 80x80 fan from PC ?
Hi,
The layer cooling fan must be connected to the board where it says "fan". This is PWM controlled by the slicer. All other fans must be connected directly to the power supply as they must be always on (hotend fan included). A big fan will add too much weight to the X carriage. The 5015 blower will be very efficient.
ok thanks so no need to cut in wires?
What do you mean by not cut in wires?
where did you connect the part cooler fan on? on the regular cooler fan?
Hi Mitchell,
The layer fan connects in the main board where labeled "fan".
Hi, thank you very much for the information, I decided to go for the winner (fan fang) and to print the 4020 version, however when I go to buy the fan there's and option for 5V, 12V, & 24V. Would you know which one would be best suited ?
Hi,
you should get the same voltage as the power supply you have. The tarantula uses a 12v power supply so you should get a 12v fan.
@@ruiraptor thank you, I wish you made a video on how to install it, like the equipment you need and where the wire is connected in the circuit board.
Just connect the wires to the board where it says "fan" and that's it. The rest it's with the slicer to control the fan.
@@ruiraptor thank you.
@@ruiraptor I tried to connect it there but the fan didn't work, so instead I just connected it directly to the power supply with another fan, I hope that's fine, it seems to be working fine, and as for keeping it off for the first layer I probably could install a manual switch
Hello! do you have version for E3DV6?
Hi ruiraptor! Can you explain how and where to connect fans from dual blower?
Hi,
for a dual blower, just connect both fans in parallel and connect them in the same output as the stock fan.
What screws do you use for a 40x40x10 fan ? Like the one at 1:43
I used #4 sheet metal screws, about half inch long or so
Nice video!
Thanks for the feedback Dillon :)
Which of this fan duct do you recommend to use with bltouch sensor? thanks for all
Felice Caccamo ,
The one that had better results in my tests also has an option for leveling sensor. Check the thingiverse page and read the options you have for that model
do you mean the radial fan fang?
Felice Caccamo,
Yes
how do you wire the fans to the printer (more specifically the blower)?
Hello Cyrus565,
First of all, fan or blower, it will need to be 12V. It is then connected to the main board in the green connector labeled "fan".Normally, the fans/blowers have short wires so you will need to make an extension cable.
Thank you!
And another question (if you don't mind) when printing the winning shroud, did you have a shroud to print it? Because it has pretty steep overhangs and I'm worried that my stock Tarantula won't be able to effectively print that shroud...
Hi Cyrus565,
Yes, i had already a fanduct when i printed the radial fan fang.
I printed the LP fanduct first (1st model from the list) with no supports and used that one to print all others.
Hi could you please tell me what is the fan size for radial fan fang ( 40*20 or 50*15)
Hi,
It's a 5015 blower.
thank you so much. also one more thing I received my printer one week ago. Yesterday I was trying build it then I found some washers in the accessories packet for the z and y axis motor mounts. But in tarantula official build tutorial they don't use those washers. Should I use them or not?
If you built the printer according to my latest video manual, then they might be spares.
Ok thank you
amazing video, thank you. but you need to speak up, i couldnt hear your beautiful voice
Wow what settings do you use!? No stringing when traveling! How!?
Hi Alex,
You need to play with the retraction settings (distance and speed).
Also, it's better if you increase the speed of the extruder in the firmware since it's limited (stock firmware).
ruiraptor what's your distance and speed set to? And where in the firmware under what section?
Greetings,
I’m using a speed of 50mm/s and a retraction of 6mm for BQ and 9mm for Verbatim filament.
Regarding the extruder speed, you can find it in the configuration.h file at the line “#define DEFAULT_MAX_FEEDRATE”.
The fang, are you running it with a 4020 or 5015?
Hi, I'm using a 5015 blower.
Thanks!
when i make the fan go %80 it dosent even blow at all
Greetings MarkSweg,
Does the fan work when set at 100%?
Regards
I know this is over two years old, but I'll chime in anyway. You have a key ingredient missing, the control, namely your test print printed on a stock fan configuration. After watching the video, we have no idea how a stock setup test print would compare to the test subject prints? This would be tell tale if these fan modifications are even necessary or just blowing hot air 8-(
Hello, can you provide the test cube design used ? Thanks.
Hi Silvio,
The test cube i used is an original design. I posted it in my thingiverse account. You can find it here: www.thingiverse.com/thing:2198654
Thanks again, you are the best!
I printed 5 of these and now i read i can't use it for my anycubic :DDDDD
it is a pitty that you haven't test complete dual blower.
i disappointed
Hi Alexander, yeah...me too :(
hello =)
what do you think, how Supasorn made wires on the other side of prinhead?
i must say that i'm very newbie in 3d printing. i have ordered tevo tarantula yesterday)) and two 5015 fans
sorry...don't understand the question
0:35 dual blower. wires on the other side of printhead. so he doesn't need to bend wires
I understand your question now...but as i mentioned, i didn't want to mess with the wires.
very usefull I subbed and liked ^_^
Thank you so much for your feedback Drone Mesh :)
How do I wire it though? My TT is coming next week and I want to have all the parts ready
Johnny Goni ,
these fans are also called layer fans. the must be connected to the main board where's labeled fan.
Thanks do I need to run a cable from the fan to the board? Sorry I'm new at this....
Hi Johnny,
Yes, you must run a cable from the fan to the board. Normally the fan wires are too short so you need to solder a wire extension and pass these wires together with the bowden tube and hotend cables. If you need a better explanation or a picture of the wire setup i can share mine. Let me know your email and i will send it to you.
yes please send me the pics I'll get my TT wednesday and i'm following you like crazy but sometimes need some further explanation jgoni20@gmail.com thanks a lot
Hi Johnny,
I just sent you an email.
Regards
what is the best fan speed for cooling on pla ?
Hi,
That is not an exact answer.
It depends on the fan used, the fanduct used and also the model being printed.
For example...
If you use a normal 40x40 fan, you will need a much higher output value in your slicer compared with a blower to produce the same amount of air flow (if you even get the same amount).
Also with the fanducts…some have more performance others less.
For these tests, I used an output of 80%.
Thank you for the answer, i'm using radial fan fang , just like your recommendation :)
So educasoonal
Thank you for your feedback
I have a bottle with liquid helium mounted on my printer to cool the parts.
Max, you should share your invention with the FB group :)
How do you reserve helium? It can even escape from a glass tube :)
I have a hydrogen fusion reactor in my backyard constantly producing helium, so no probs.
you cant really say you tested the 4 if you modified one, but cool video, thanks
Hi,
Actually, the one i modified is also available like that in thingiverse ;)
fair play, loving the vids, im lookin about for a cheap printer to get started
Good. Search all the options and buy smart. Remember...sometimes cheap is more expensive ;)
well price versus space on my desk, i think im pretty settled on the Tarantula. we will see how it goes when i can afford it!
I wish you had tested the unmodified one since it seems one squirrel cage fan worked pretty good, with both , it might have beat all of them.
is this a song by you?
Hi MJ B,
No, the song is not by be. Please see the video description for the song credits.
excelente video ya me suscribi, dedo arriba para ti.
Thanks :)
Would be useful if you could asterisk the winner (Radial fan fang) in the comment/detail area.
Also could you try a run-off of the winner against this dual function splitter (makes the print head lighter)

Hi Hedge,
Thank you for the tip. I will add the information in the video description.
Regarding the fanduct, the one you mentioned cannot be used with the stock hotend. :(
Seriously, that first one looks like a toilet seat...
Lol... actually, i heard worst names for the 3rd one :D

What 3d CAD program do you use?
Hi,
The designs of the fanducts are not mine.
I only designed the test cube.
Hi,
Do you know where I can buy this fan? There is no model number or anything. :(
Hi Thomas Wu,
There are lots of places you can buy these fans or blowers.
Fans are 40x40x10 or 40x40x20 and blower used is 5015. There are the size. Regarding voltage, all of them must be 12V which is the power supply you are using. If you are using a different power supply you must buy a fan or blower with the same voltage rating.
I bought mine on ebay, but if you google something like “40x40x20 12v” fan or “5012 12v blower” you will find many stores that have them.
Regards
Thanks for the reply. I think I understand. Will something like this work? www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00THZK270/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
