Description
I found out that the A1 does not have active exhaust or intake fan cooling for internal circuits (motherboard, processor, power supply). So I wanted to create an adapter for a standard 40mm pc fan to mount up to the sides of the printer to exhaust hot air. This part / mod is ideal for those using the A1 in a non-climate controlled space such as an enclosure, garage, shed, basement, print farms, etc. However it can be used on any A1 and in theory should help keep internal temperature low and decrease risk of failure due to heat build up.
Note: This is only for the A1 not for the A1 Mini, If you own a A1 Mini use this model instead.
Features:
Materials Needed to assemble:
Print and Assembly Notes:
Print Profile Notes:
Nozzle: Suggest 0.4mm nozzle for precision fit
Wall Loops: 5 wall loops on 0.4mm nozzle, 0.6mm nozzle not recommended due to decreased layer adhesion.
Layer Height: Suggest 0.16 to maximize strength and reduce overhangs (0.16mm default)
Infill: 30% gyroid
Brim: 5mm brim default, I was able to print successfully without a brim though.
Material: PETG, PLA would probably be okay, but suggest PETG for functional parts near printer bed.
Color: Any
Print Orientation: Print with the flat portion of the part on the print bed.
Supports: None
3d Printers: Should be printable on any printer.
Filament amount required: 8.37g per part
