Description
I was given an old CTC Generation 2 clone of MakerBot ‘The Replicator Dual’ circa 2012 as my first 3D printer. I didn't need or want dual extruders but I did need a cooling fan. This bit of plastic replaces the extruder with a duct to redirect the fan which was previously used to cool the extruder, which has been removed. It substantially improved my print quality until that printer died and I got an MK3s+ kit.
It's in pink PLA as that's what I had laying around. No supports.
This was originally published on Thingiverse as thing 5383587, but they lost my text instructions. It should be pretty obvious. I also used a modified cable holder. Designed in FreeCAD, design files provided.
