Fan Flow 360 Toroidal Air Duct Logo Fan Airflow Fan Flow Air Duct

With the introduction of the Air-Stream-Freezer, our team set out to develop a model for the Bambulab X series. The most significant challenge was to make it LIDAR compatible. Our team rose to this challenge, further developed the Air-Stream-Freezer and quickly designed the Air-Stream-Turbine.

Once again, I want to express my gratitude to the entire team who, for months, have invested every spare moment in developing this project. As before, it was designed, redesigned, modified, and tested. A special thank you goes to Paul, to whom we tirelessly submitted new designs to ensure compatibility.

It is once again explicitly stated that remixes of this product design are strictly prohibited, as no phase or rounding has been added beyond what is necessary. To ensure there is something for everyone's taste, two more versions are available this time, in addition to the seven well-known ones:

What's new in this version:

The Air-Stream turbine can now be printed completely unsupported. It features a split inlet and an asymmetrical outlet for the air supply. Due to the asymmetrical outlet, it is only possible to speak of 360 degrees in relative terms, which is why we have omitted the degree sign in our illustration and replaced it with an asterisk.
If in doubt, this model can be printed with only two walls and completely without infill with a 0.2 layer height. However, we recommend 3 walls with 10% infill and a layer height of 0.1, or 4 walls and 10% infill with a 0.2 nozzle. For all variants, a corresponding number of upper layers should be ensured. This means 5 layers with 0.2 and 10 layers with 0.1 layer height. The magnets that must be used are the same size as those used in the original Bambu Lab component. (4x2 & 2x2) For design reasons, it was not possible to use larger magnets. At the point where the smaller magnet has to be placed, care must be taken when slicing that "recognize thin walls" is selected, as the wall thickness at this point is very small. However, this does not matter, the magnet can still be glued in cleanly without any problems and will hold. With a 0.2 Nozzle, there is no problem at all, which is why the High Quality and Ultra pressure profile is specially designed for a 0.2 Nozzle.


 

It is generally known that the subject of component cooling is viewed with a great deal of skepticism and suspicion. Many people always want proof. But how and with what could you prove something if the evidence proves nothing, because it cannot prove anything, as it could just as well be manipulated? Then there are always many theoretical things that could possibly prove something, but theory and practice are worlds apart. That's why we won't try to convince anyone here. Everyone has to convince themselves. We simply want to invite everyone to do a little mini-experiment that they can understand for themselves. Place a glass filled with water under the original fan, and everyone will be able to see the same result with their own eyes. The largest bulge in the water surface will not be in the middle under the nozzle, although this is where it would make the most sense in principle. The bulging of the water surface of the Air-Stream turbine, on the other hand, is much more centrally located under the nozzle. Again, these are facts that anyone can see for themselves if they are willing to carry out this simple test. Because let's not kid ourselves, pictures of a comparison of two 4-sided overhang tests do not seem to be credible enough, which is why we are sparing ourselves a direct comparison this time.


Last but not least, it should be noted that the component should only be printed by someone who can dismantle the original and assemble the reprinted one without help. We will not provide any assistance in this regard, nor will we encourage anyone to possibly destroy the front housing assembly of the printer. Or to put it another way, you dismantle at your own risk. One last point should be mentioned. This model can also be printed without infill and completely without support. Neither the model nor one of the four printing profiles can be held responsible in the event that it should become detached from the build plate during printing. We decided to add a GIF of a print (High Quality and Ultra print profile) to prove that with a clean build plate and well calibrated ABS filament, it is possible to print successfully without support and without brim. For anyone else who may have difficulties, a brim could be added. However, this should not be an argument for rating the model or print profile poorly. 

What is the difference between the print profiles?

Fast Print: Nozzle 0.4 - layer height 0.2 - first layer 0.2 - walls 2 - infill 0 %
Medium: Nozzle 0.4 - layer height 0.1 - first layer 0.2 - walls 3 - infill 10 % Gyroid
High Quality: Nozzle 0.2 - layer height 0.1 - first layer 0.2 - walls 4 - infill 0 %
Ultra: Nozzle 0.2 - layer height 0.1 - first layer 0.2 - walls 4 - infill 10 % Gyroid

Thank you and have fun.
