Hi Nicolinux, I would check out version 2, which has its own page

Thanks for the design! Do you have a recommendation which RH version to use? The air might flow better if there is no indent on its way - so maybe E and C are better? And by the way - you should totally name it "Tapir Fan Duct" because the tip shape looks like a Tapir nose :) (might also make it easier to refer to when it gets famous).

Cheers Rick, I admit the hole is designed at 3.2mm so a slight clearance on the tread, but I cleared it with a 3.0 mm drill or reamer, I will change the note on both versions. BTY the V2 has the vertical adjustment.

The thumbscrews are 3mm diameter. You need to open up the holes with a 3mm drill, not larger, for a good fit. 3.2mm or 1/8" drill simply makes for a sloppy attachment, with wiggle in it.

Hi, all thanks for comments and surgestions, Version 2 is now available which has vertical adjustment to allow for variations in nozzles etc. I hope it suits your needs as well as it suits mine, Izzy.

Version 2 is being worked on that allows for some vertical adjustment.

I got this installed. It needs supports on at 25% to support the inside flanges, and, for my fans at least, I had to scale it up to 101% to get enough room for a light press fit on the fans. However, that said, it's the best design I've seen yet, and it even fits with the IH_HeatSink_FanDuct.stl for the rear fan, and the deflecteur_UM2.stl to better cool the PTFE spacer. And for an extra bonus, it gets rid of 12 screws and 18 grams of weight on the print head, which certainly helps speed and accuracy of printing. Excellent!

I really like the ability to see the extrusion at the tip of the nozzle - very helpful when tuning temps and speeds. Great design job!
