About this model
after encountering some problems with retractions on my e3d v6, and going through a rigorous testing process, i reached the conclusion that there is a problem with the standard cooling. if you attach it as intended - most of the airflow goes to the upper part of the heatsink which is not very practical, as it causes the transition zone to be higher than it could/should be. after designing a few fan holders and playing with the direction of the air - i settled on this design. it blows air to the lowest part of the heatsink and where the throat contacts the heatsink. this allows you to do shorter retracts (at least in my experience), and has eliminated any problems i was having with PLA related clogs due to the full metal path. i then wanted to try a few different layer cooling solutions. i …
