The file 'Quick Release E3D Fan Duct For Dibond Mendel90 3D Printer Model' is (stl,123dx) file type, size is 3.6MB.
A fan duct for cooling prints which can be used instead of the standard fan duct when upgrading from the J Head to an E3D hot end (in my case a v6) on a dibond NopHead Mendel90. It uses the same 60mm fan as supplied by NopHead.
This is the second version of this duct and incorporates a quick release mechanism as well as more flexible height adjustment (a common request I got on the original one here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:491316 )
I have marked it as a work in progress because even though it works great I have had issues with the release lever snapping off (ABS can be very brittle). I need to do a test print in Bridge (Nylon) to see if this solves the problem. You can repair the lever by using acetone as a glue but I have found even with the lever snapped off it still works great as it stays in place with friction (depending on your tolerances you might want add a bit of tape over the top to make it push in tighter).
NOTE: This will not fit a Sturdy Mendel90 it only fits a Dibond Mendel90. If anyone modifies it to fit please let me know and I'll include a link :)
