This is the new version of my slideX for the SmartrapCore (designed for my wooden box printer, but it will probably work just as well with the alu version), after http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1001419 I made before…

I made several little or big improvements, mostly about cooling the hot end and the printing zone.

The main body part is available for both 6mm and 8mm rods, just pick the one for your setup.

You can also choose between two different printing zone cooling systems : one for a traditionnal fan, and an other one for a radial (turbine) fan. I suggest you try this last one, it might just blow your mind off… ;)

Update (V. 3.1b Dec. 22 2015) : because of some cooling issues, I had to redesign the hot end fan and Zsensor support, and the bottom part of the radial fanduct. It's also a bit easier to print, now. :)

Update (V. 3.2. 01/25/2016) : new fanduct bottom part (032b). It's smaller, more simple, and seems more effective, so it will be the replacement for the 031 version.

Update (02/08/2016) : added a 032d version of the radial fanduct bottom. It's an extension of the 032b one, with deflectors on the sides that help to keep the air flow focused on the printing zone while keeping the printed shapes of the air exit away from the hottest part of the hot end. I'm using this one now and it seems quite effective.
