Description

I've owned a couple of dual extruding printers and find that the second extruder is more pain than it's worth. Since 99% of prints in the world are single extrusion prints and 50% of those are ruined by an extra extruding head, I always make a point to remove it and replace it with a strategically-placed fan:

Prints turn out cleaner and life is just better. This new design can be printed in one piece and should work with either a Flashforge CreatorPro or a Wanhao Duplicator 4 (and maybe others)

This one replaces everything in the 2nd extruder except the fan and motor.

If you have adhesion problems like I do, always print the skirted version to increase the probability of a successful print in your current fanless environment.

If you found this useful, it would bring me great joy to see your work - so be sure to share; especially if you print the casing in transparent filament! :)

Or, better yet, please feel free to dump a bitcoin or two here (I'm trying to collect as many as I can before the apocalypse):

... include a note to the effect of "Hi 3E8, thanks for the Universal Fan Duct thing... my life is infinitely better on account of it and please accept this small handful of bitcoins in gratitude".

You're welcome! (in advance) :D

Also, feel free to peruse my other submissions which are almost as varied as they are many:

Enjoy!
