Summary

This thing is a remix of thruit00's PLA cooling ducts, a remix of funbart's PLA ducts.

I was really a huge FAN (pun-intended) of thruit00's v2 PLA fan clip duct design, but on the CTC Creator I noticed that the vent outlet was actually rubbing/touching very snugly against the heating blocks causing sagging and warping of the vents after 10+ hours of printing.

Tested after 20+ hours of printing, same excellent results, no melting duct-ends.


UPDATE 2014/12/6: Two people have recently mentioned issues where the screws can no longer reach the block after flipping the fans on certain Creator Pros. It seems that the fan screws on their Creator Pros are only 34mm long VS the older designs with 40mm screws on the Dual.

Also with Creator Pros I've heard scattered reports of a deeper carriage preventing the fan duct from contacting the fan surface.

Be sure to verify these aspects before attempting to install this remix. Creator Pro owner's may want to try Repurposer's" remix of these clips, and if you do, DO PLEASE report back on the fitment, or leave a comment if you find ducts that match fitment more closely on the Creator Pro that way Thingiverse explorers who've found their way here can find the part they need faster. Many thanks to KrisRoberts1121 for updated details!
