This fan duct improves the air flow so the overhangs are better (up to 70º with very good quality, 3rd picture)
I recommend to use Prusament PC Blend-Carbon Fiber or PA11-CF, because they are heat resistant and to reduce weight mainly, but other filaments may work just as well.
I also recommend to use my improved fan door (to center better the fan duct): https://www.printables.com/model/621424-improved-mk4-fan-door.
Caution: from version 7.0 sometimes it is necessary to reduce the fan speed a little! A reduction of 5-10% from your previous profile is usually sufficient.
Warning 1: If the fan test fails, please remove this fan duct and pass the test; then reinstall the fan duct. The original fan duct does not need to be installed to pass the test, it is simply left free.
Warning 2: it is recommended to be used together this model (or similar): https://www.printables.com/model/566871-mk4-hotend-fan-shield-eliminates-turbulence-drafts. It prevents air turbulences from extruder fan.
Note: This fan duct can not be used with MK4S because its different fan duct new design.
Printing Parameters:
- 5% infill
- 0.1 layer height
- 3 or more perimeters
