This cooling rig dramatically increased my print quality. I can now print overhangs over 45 degrees cleanly and consistently. As you can see in the CFD simulation, the 3 air ducts channel the air exactly down the center. This maximizes the cooling of the printed section. This effect can clearly be felt on the actual printer. Installing the E3D V6 on the Rostock max is easy, but thanks to its compact design it's hard to fit a layer fan. I've tried about 10 different shroud designs, fans etcetera and found that either they didn't fit, or they would not blow in the right direction. Finally decided to design my own cooling rig. I've edited the layerfan shroud design by dreyfusduke to fit the E3D V6 with the effector plate either inverted or normal. It cools the prints instantly, maximum fan setting should not exceed 70% or nozzle temperature will drop dramatically.
