Description
On the Kobra there is a hole under the bed where the cable for the screen exits, and I noticed that when the printer is running there is a considerable draft from the MB fan exiting this hole.
I had read somewhere that this can be an issue by causing unwanted local cooling in that corner of the bed, so I decided to do something about it.
This design is for a small duct that directs the unwanted air flow away from the bed and exausts it to the RHS of the printer. It has four legs that slot into the printer rail behind the screen.
The model is designed to be printed on it's back, and I found it printed well without any supports at all. I used Anycubic black PLA with .2mm layers and 15% fill.
Once printed the deflector should just drop into place and stay there thanks to gravity and the cable.
