You need air cooling to print PLA but do you need fan for it? Chopmeister doesn't think so. He started a project of a fanelass cool air supply to the printhead. He uses a 3d printed radial air blower powered by small DC motor to pressurize the air which then goes trough silicone tubing to the printhead and cools the printed object. |
| Fanless 3d printhead cooling - air blower and silicone tubing guide cool air to the printhead |
His next steps are to improve control electronics for the fanless cooler to make it more Plug'n'play.

Nice project Čop!
