Twotrees Sapphire Plus Motherboard Cooling Upgrade

Since the printer already comes equipped with 2 4010mm fan, we can use them in a smarter way.

This model is a very fast, print-and-install upgrade for the Sapphire Plus 

I also included a print modifier you can use to get the same effect as I did (grid on the top). If you also want to use it, in Cura you can just upload the 2 models and center them; the modifier is created in such way that shares the same center as the print, to get a very precise alignment. For PrusaSlicer, you need to upload the model and then upload the modifier as a custom print modifier.

Cura settings I used for the modifier:

• Set the modifier as “modify setting for overlaps” and select “cutting mesh”.
• Set wall count to 2 with “alternate extra walls” active to give more strength to the infill.
• Set top and bottom layers to 0.
• Modify the infill as you prefer.
• Limit the infill speed to get a good result (60mm/s instead of default 100mm/s for me).

Materials: 

• 2*4010 fans
• 4-8*M3x12mm screws for mounting the fans onto the print
• 4-8*M3 hexagonal nuts for mounting the fans onto the print
• 2*M3x8mm screws to fix the mainboard to the original mounts
• 2*M3x35mm screws to secure the top part

Printing tips: 

• Set a high minimum layer time to limit the speed, so that the mounting legs have a good dimensional accuracy of the screw guides and spacers.
