I wanted to get better cooling for my foldarap and I only have the 1.1 version (to lazy to change to 2.5) so I designed this thing! Since I used this X-carriage, I used the same system to attach the duct on the head: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:84345
You might have to adjust the holes sizes, by hand to make a better fit. (especially for the part 3)
I welded part 1 and 2 by melting the edge with a lighter, but you can use glue as well.
Part 2 should be around 2 layers thick.
On the picture we can see a comparison with this duct and with just the stock fan.
It's slighly better on theses tortures tests but on larger pieces it really make a difference.
Let me know if you used it ! does it work for you ?
the two torture test I used :
