Anyone willing to print a different ABS fan shroud for me?

Where are you located - country and state?

I got a spare - and can print you one if nobody else takes you up on it

Do you have a design you prefer?  I really like a modified fan shroud I downloaded from here, but you should get what you like if you want someone to print it for you.   These take about 1.5 hours to print, typically.  I have multiple colors of ABS.  Think $8 + 4 shipping.

What do you have?

I'd be interested in seeing what you have. I didn't really have much in mind, just something that gave better all around cooling, perhaps something like this maybe? https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4811985/files

@dan-rogers

I've actually never used a different shroud (simply didn't see the need for it) but now I'm curious what you've got and how it worked for you. Also, with the additional airflow, did you do a PID tuning?

Shroud

I have used that shroud and it works well.

Extra air flow

Here's the one I am using right now ... https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/31778-mk3s-fan-shroud-with-nut-holder

PID tune?  Hmm.

Quick how?

Is that something on the control menu?  It sounds like fun...

Unlike the Mini, it's easy on the Mk3S.

With the additional air flow on the nozzle/heater block, maybe that changes the thermo properties of the hotend.

Interesting. But it seems there's no Mk3S+ version of it, and both of my Mk3S are now Pluses.

Hmmm

I have it on am MK3S.  I have printed one to try on my MK3S+ - will have to see what won't work and come up with a fix.  I'm getting a much better bridge on the MK3S with this one.

Looks great

Hey that fan shroud you linked looks great! I really like how radial it is, seems like it covers more area of the nozzle for sure. Does it provide better overhangs than stock? Also, would it fit on a MK3S+? That's what I have

Not yet ...

According to the above, it probably needs some redesign to fit the S+.  I have one on an MK3S, and have one printed to try and fit on my other S+ printer - I am hoping to take a look at that this weekend.  

PID calibration - didn't seem to use the part cooling fan

I ran PID cal for 240 degrees - I watched some of it - didn't seem to use the part cooling fan that I saw.

No worries

Take your time!

I took a quick look in Fusion 360 and it's not just a simple copy and paste to add the new attachment system from the Mk3S+ shroud. Sounds interesting but I have two screwed-up printers to fix that take precedence.

Is that not always the struggler?  

Yeah, 3D printers are the gift that keeps on giving... 

First mashup

I'll be printing this mashup today in ABS and seeing how it fits on my MK3S+.  I think it will be pretty close to good. If anyone else wants to try - the pattern is attached. (untested)
