# Fanduct

## Overview
For printing clean and fast with PLA, I need some cooling on the part being printed. It started with  fan held with electric wire, but after a year or so, I thought I'd design a proper fanduct in Catia and (of course) print it.
I didn't want to make any calculation/simulation/... so I went the trial__'n error__ way. It took me serveral iterations to get a fanduct I'd be happy with:

## Differences

While I was trying my fanducts, I thought I'd do a test without any cooling, just to compare. Results are wayyyy better with cooling ^^

## Current version, mounted

So that's the final version of the fanduct, it's printable, it works, ...
