Aquarium airline pump, year old very humid PLA, and the 50mm bridge torture test: success!
Need to work on the “foot”, currently it’s only blowing in one direction.
Cool!
You may want to read my post where I bent a copper tube for the foot: http://www.tridimake.com/2016/05/3d-printing-cooling-with-air-pump-aquarium.html (Still blows in one direction, but I never saw any anisotropy contrary to the usual fan blowers, b/c the output is very focused I guess)
@Jeremie_Francois I did read your post - that’s where I got my inspiration for using the airline method.
The printed (instead of copper) foot is because I was going for an all printed design for my effector - even the hotend is held in by a two-piece twist lock.
feel aquarium pump no have constant ari flow we use a U1 server fan big noise but are able to make at 50mm/s a bridge of 150mm https://www.facebook.com/romamakers/videos/547223445441510/ design : http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1319092
Am I the only one not getting with not print this on its side instead? U wouldn’t have the drippage on bridge
@Felix_Garcia_Chaco I think the deal here is explicitly to test “bridging”, i.e. printing in air. This is tricky and a good way to learn and optimize one’s printer. Otherwise your are perfectly right: in production, it would certainly be better/easier/cleaner to print it on its side
