Best part of this video for me wasn't just a potentially useful shortlist of ducts to try out but getting to hear someone just freely call stuff "shithouse" and use phrases like "rough as guts" and "dunny paper". For an Aussie living in the USA it's always nice to just hear other Aussies be Aussies :)

[@Reds3DPrinting]

man i kinda feel bad for you being an aussie stuck in the US..

[@MrTofuToast]

Thanks for this video. I didnt know about the fang duct and I can't wait for mine to finish printing.

[@marktadros8782]

Thanks for doing the research and sharing the results, Great work.

[@dreamvisionary]

The Satsana design ducts the air to the nozzle and the print directly below it, so if it was to blow the piece of paper then I would say it has failed at what it is designed to do, as that would be wasting the cooling by blowing it where it is not needed.

[@joescalon541]

My single 40/10 blower satsana does 70+ degree overhangs no issue. But ya it’s designed to blow directly at the nozzle. No issues other than cheap fans that die after 100 hours or so :(

[@DavidHodgesKU11]

I had to scroll way too far down in the comments to find this... obviously the directional ducts aren't going to move the paper like one where it was blowing directly on it. Getting cooling from multiple directions is more beneficial than one strong fan from one side in my opinion.

[@Twin_Flyer]

Was going to say exactly the same thing. The fans do not blow in the direction of the paper. Much better test when installed over a hot end over water to see where its actually blowing, IMO.

[@Litia440]

thanks a lot for your comparison and troubleshooting on the 2 fan models, i recently changed my ender 3v2 to a dual 4010 side fans and a 20x40 front fan and started having the same termal shootdown, now to prototype again or just never use too much fan since is better and more silent than the stock one

[@pitanpainter2140]

Thank-you for this, that with understanding fan options on the Ender 3 v2.

[@paulgiacomin]

Thanks a lot. I really appreciate your work. With this video you have saved me many hours of research and spending money, to show enthusiasts to modify everything, that the engineers who design the machines are not stupid. The same goes for the Capricorn...which is another blef. Thank you sincerely.

[@Dirt33breaks]

Just bought the briss!! Awesome video!! Been looking for a video like this for days

[@carlclarke1]

Thanks, I was looking at E3v2 options and found the $2 BRISS and liked the look of it - then I found your video, you have convinced me to try it. Your 'dunny roll' test is much the same as the bowl of water test that others mention except turned through 90 degrees. Maybe if you ever repeat the tests you could find a source of smoke or vapour so we can see what is going on, I suspect that some of the designs are just cancelling out the the opportunity to move air away by blowing directly at each other from both sides. I wonder what a BRISS design would be like with an adapter on top to utilise two blower fans? Anyway thanks again, interesting video.

[@Zac_Cave]

I am very happy to finally have a video on this, thank you so much. most I had found only talk about the most Popular on Thingiverse and are kinda dated and not the most clear. side note, I apologies if you referenced this already as I may have missed it, but the cfm of the hotend fan is something important to note. RPM and the CFM are part of the reason Creality uses the fan it does. On top of that is the reason why swapping in *certain* Noctua or other random 24v fans could cause issues with a stock hotend. but I'm not versed enough on the scale of 30mm fans and the cooling capacities available and pricing in bulk. but price and commonality might be another factor why creality sticks to the same basic 24v fan. among other reasons and speculations I'm just happy to finally have a good video on cooler designs, you are a god send thank you.

[@jcfpv3454]

I greatly enjoy seeing all the people's different opinions and beliefs based on different products because of this we have great products to use in 3d printing

[@ukaszjot8078]

I've been using Briss fang V4 for 1.5 year now and I really like it. The only problem is that I print a lot with higher temperatures (240-260C) and even when printed the fang in ASA the tips of air nozzles are still getting a bit melted over time. Also, I'm using the version with LEDs for hotend lit and they don't last too long (couple of months at most), likely due to high temperature (even though I'm running them at a small current of below 10mA). Right now I have a V5 printed out in CF Nylon, this one should be much more heat resistant, so I hope the air nozzles will not be melting. Also - you need to remember to glue-in this extra piece for these (I see it's not present on your prints). It's not relevant for cooling test like the one you're doing here, but if you install them without this piece it can cause some problems with clogging (you will loose some cooling of the hot end heatsink and will have some unwanted cooling of the heat block).

[@whitehathackers100]

27:10 without a doubt the design of the VORON Fan Duct Ender 3 V2 is the best very beautiful.

[@TomStroleny]

Thanks for great video and research , I printing 4.3 right now!

[@pcmobiletechnicalsolutions8504]

Please share this link

[@t3chninja_official]

I think the small bowl of water is a better test right under the nozzle on the bed where it would be printing. You can see where the air is focused. It seems you have printed a fair share of the designs out there. The Hero Me Gen5-7 work really well with a dual 5015 blower style at 50% or less power. The purpose of 2 is so you can have less noise and get great results.

[@Niedski_Productions]

Are the 5015 fans at 50% alot louder than stock?

[@Valuiskihh]

I tried to find right file for me, but didnt find for stock Hot end, bltouch and dual 5015 fans.

[@SchwettyBawls]

The Hero Me just suffers from TOOO MANY options. Trying to navigate the files without the user manual that is now locked behind a pay wall is just too annoying.

[@t3chninja_official]

@@SchwettyBawls It's not that hard to figure out. Ask questions on thingiverse or printables. The creator or user typical will answer. Paying $4 isn't that much to get all the help you need and it's well with it. The creator puts lots of time into it so you're paying him for his time, not everything in life is free. You get detailed videos to help when you pay on patreon and access to discord for quicker answers. Honestly it's a great support system. Cancel you patreon after you built it. Cost me like $4.

[@bryanst.martin7134]

The part cooling fans should be of the high pressure variety, which have broad flatter blades than the high velocity fans. I use them for electronic system radiators which the fins slow down the airflow and don't perform as well as with standard fans.

[@user-zs4iv3vf5m]

thanks for sharing , I just the beginner of FDM print by Ender 3v2, I found most user would upgrade the cooling duct, yr video was awesome reference to me for the coming upgrade, BTW, the original fans could be use on the briss fang free version?

[@jakewallace5591]

You just got yourself a sub with one phrase, “will make your prints looks like shit” I like brutally honest!

[@Michigander269]

I went with the satsana on my E3V2 but with dual 5015 part cooling fans and a 4020 hotend fan and its pushing at just 40% and quiet as a mouse 🤙

[@3sotErik]

I didn't even consider changing my stock ducked out until I printed ABS and melted the crap out of the duct. Not exactly sure what happened.

[@grantayson7938]

Hey man thanks for the video I know this is from a long time ago but would you be willing to share your remix of the Headlock shroud that would be suited for the Ender3v2

[@jraym17]

Hi I am wondering what is your ambient temperature where you are while you print? And what type of fan did you have ontop of the birds fang?

[@seanwilde3896]

Thank you for the video. I bought the Briss fang files, but I'm not sure if they will be compatible with the Ender 5 Plus with the BlTouch and which one of those files? Also, should this be printed with or without supports? I'm concerned about getting the supports out of the ducts. Thanks

[@ericvalois9966]

I would love the files for the small voron style fan duck. Would you mind sharing it?

[@user-hv2cx1mu5b]

I watched your video, thanks. on the 19th minute you show the insert after the cooler, can you share it with a 3D model? Thanks.

[@FilmFactry]

I ordered some 3010s. I printed that Headlock you liked. I was disappointed that it looks like it is for E3D not a creality hotend. Did you mod it for the Ender? I have an Ender 3 v1. Are the mounting holes that much different than the V2? Maybe you can do a vid how you'd put LEDs on the cooler mount. As you mentioned. I need to be able to see if it is printing okay, so those giant ducts are not for me. Thanks.

[@Deviled_EG]

Don’t expect any answer but what fans did you use for the cover that is hinged I am looking to make it but I want quite fans

[@cjsawinski]

Where can I find the compact one that uses 30mm fan?? That looks right up my alley!

[@AlaskanMach1]

Give the Hydra a shot. With dual 5015’s you can turn them way down and get an immense amount of air. It puts the briss, and all of the others, to shame.

[@SchwettyBawls]

Where's the Hydra located? Is it a free or paid file? Does it have BLTouch support?

[@dragonld123]

Increasing air flow will improve PLA printing results or upgrading the fans is for other materials and lower sound?

[@MaxHackbarth]

I am not backing up the Satsana in any means at all but I’ve been using one for 2 months now and they have a focal point that your setup can’t really show, a smoke test would be better in my option. Your set up with the Satsana is showing all air blowing out from underneath the part which is why you have to shove the ducts into the little paper strip, the focal point is at the nozzle and no other airflow is really wondering away from the nozzle.

[@sebastianrose9811]

[@Akira.Nibbai]

@@Defyant123 I am actually in the process of building a real dd voron for the ender 3, hopefully it goes just as well, I found that when printing the duct the over hangings on the inside needed a bit of a file, maybe that would help your turbulence

[@nicolaspolaco2836]

what layer fan do you recommend on an ender 3 v2 with an e3d v6 hotend?

[@EXTREMERC416]

Printed the ender 7 style cooler. It is not compatible with any ender 3. Only the v2 guess how i know. Made it work but the cooler is so low that it crashes into the bed clips. Loved the design and idea but just doesnt work in my case. Im surprised there was no remix made to fit those printers

[@leedo03]

I think you are overhyping the Briss fang. I currently use it and it has worst cooling on overhangs than the stock cooler. The axial fans are no match for the blower stlye fans once the ducts are close to the bed where the static pressure is increased. i improved the fang by printing little flaps that redirects the air more towards the nozzle which improved cooling and overhangs.

[@Defyant123]

Yes I seen your stick on flaps on thingyverse a true marvel of engineering..... I've already added my own using tinkercad which just seemed easier but made no difference for me

I doubt the test setup a little bit. It's not about how much air is going down but more how much air is going to the tip of the nozzle which includes also air going "sideways" instead of just down. In you setup this would not be recognized.

[@TuncayAyhan]

That’s what I thought for a while, until I printed the BrissMoto 4.3 a few days ago

[@heyspookyboogie644]

I’ve never understood why people who design these things so often feel the need to redesign the entire hotend area and not just make some ducts that attach to the fan mount, or just more simplistic and direct stuff. Most of the time all it’s doing is adding weight and size for no good reason. Doesn’t even look good.

[@SianaGearz]

20:33 no no no this is horrible... for all the reasons that you explain just after. For the cold end cooling, i think you're better off slowing down the fan rpm and installing a baffle that would prevent air from leaking from the cold end chamber into the hot end area, than trying to restrict the fan airflow. Maybe a little narrowing in the vague direction of the heatsink is OK, just a little.

Very useful

Cheers tyvm , I like the BF cause it blows a lot of air :) Regardless of static etc... air is air and the design of the BF allows a single low static pressure fan to blow air.
