Update: Ahmad has created a version 2 of his design - please go check it out and donate to him: https://grabcad.com/library/mbot3d-mk2_rev2-0-ender7-style-fan-duct-1
Important: This is a remix of https://grabcad.com/library/mbot3d-extruder-mk-2-mod-1 by Ahmad Sunardi
I think this is the most beautiful fan duct for the Ender 3 V2 increasing the cooling performance by using two 4010 blower fans. However the original design of the above creator had some issues which I fixed in this remix. Mainly the hole on the front for the heat break cooler - it is simply too small so that the heat break was not cooled sufficiently. Also I added a tab to reduce air leaking onto the part.
The design consists of three parts:
Alternative for a 4020 Sunon fan:
This air duct has some neat features:
I would not recommend to print this in PLA as it sits quite close to the hotend. I used PETG and GreenTec - both work perfectly fine.
Update: I have added a version for a 4020 Sunon fan as the heatsink fan. The respective files are named *_Sunon4020.stl.
Update 2: If you need help assembling the shroud: mattpker has create an assembly video right here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ayqa3cT2KjY
Update 3: If you want to use heated brass inserts instead of just taping into the plastic then I recommend this great remix: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5368944
