I saw many fanduct-designs for the Sidewinder X1 stock fan and found some for dual 5015 fans. Sadly the 4020 stock was a bit to loud for my feelings and had not enough air pressure for my feelings (weight Stockfan+duct ~35g). Designs for dual 5015-fans have nice/high airflow but also a high weight (~85-100g) depending on designs and materials, which can increase ghosting/ringing).
This is why I designed a new, easy printable, low weight fanduct+mount for a single 5015-fan:
- For my experience: 5015-fans have higher airflow or lower loudness compared to 4020 fans
- The fanduct allows a better airflow than stock
- Weight of fan+duct is ~45-50g (depending on materials)
- Unlike another solo 5015-fanduct that I found, it is designed for 3d printing with less issues and allows good airflow.
- There are 3 deepenings in it to put some damping materials inside between mount and fan (I don’t know if this is usefull but also saves weight, if you dont use it 😉 )
- In this design the LED on the extruder might not be useable anymore (exept if you use transparent filament)
Let me know if you run into any issue!
