40mm Dragon Fan for RepRaps
Description
You can get a good dregree of detail on your parts when using one. So...why not pimp your RepRap with a air blowing dragon!
Air on your bed can drop your temp, so I made this to keep the air where it needs to go.
Now if I could make one that breaths fire to heat the tip! hmmmm
I used Zbrush and Blender in my adventure.
Hope you enjoy;)

Love jonaskuehling's designs.
So I am also adding my clip that adds the ability to mount wires and this fan to the shuttle. Just look for the holes in back of the belt holder see pic in pictures block.
I used a 2 X 50mm M3 screws, one to mount the bracket and one to mount the fan to the clip.
I use a small black rubber band to keep the dragon pointing down (you'll see it maybe in the pic).

Got it to work eventually, needed the newest git version of slic3r, a few days out of date one crashed on loading it. I don't have a fan yet, but this is very cool, and looks much better in real life that my photo. Cheers :)
Added the blender file so you can have the source model, I use the latest blender 2.63.
I printed one on m prusa using Slic3r as the ripper, and one on my replicator by makerbot. I used Replicator G for that.
Havent had any back pressure if anything I had to turn the bugger down a little in slic3r.
Let me know if everything works out for you
:-D
I've had terrible luck with other fan nozzle restriction causing so much back pressure that I can't get air to flow. I would assume that this part has the same concern?
I want to print one, but I can't get the stl to slice, and cloud.netfabb.com can't load it either. How did you manage to slice it?
