Description

Here's another aesthetic enhancement for the X1 and P1 series printers: an auxiliary cooling fan cover inspired by an airplane's jet turbine.
You will find two printing profiles: one static and one with rotating blades: the rotating version is moved only by the air sucked in by the cooling fan and the maximum rotation speed is low (so as not to cause overheating and wear), but thanks to the high number of blades it seems to spin at supersonic speed!

Fits well, but too noisy...

Hi, I confirm that the noise cannot be completely eliminated (unless using a ball bearing) even if during printing it is overcome by all the other noises. With the various prototypes I noticed that it depends a lot on the material: for example, classic PLA is noisier than PETG-CF, not only due to the physical characteristics of the material but also because it rotates less quickly. I have not tried PLA Silk and Metal, they have a particularly smooth finish which should improve sliding but there would still be the need to remove the fan when printing with a closed chamber to avoid deformations due to heat.
