This cover replaces the metal one on the side of the xBuddy box and provides extra forced air cooling and ventilation.
Provided are versions with ('Active') and without ('Passive') the 40mm fan mount. There are also variations for multi-material printing.
You may need to print with auto generated support material if you're using PETG.
I'm not aware of a convenient 5v or 12v pin on the xBuddy, so power options are:
- Get a 24v 40mm fan and wire it to the xBuddy's input terminals.
- Run external power (such as from the 5v GPIO pins on a Raspberry Pi if you use one to monitor prints).
- Use a little buck regulator breakout wired to the xBuddy's input terminals.
Please do be careful when messing with your printer's electronics. No responsibility is taken for anything that happens as a result of using these models or following the suggestions herein.
