Flashforge Extruder Turbo Fan - retrofit to PowerSpec Pro?

[jdg56]

Hi all,

I've been puttering around looking for a better PLA solution (you know, curling, brittle separating layers...), beyond the fan shroud I've been using (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:537918).

My left extruder has gone non-functional, so I have been looking at alternatives that are less bulky and complex to service. Whilst cruising the forum archives, I saw The Half Stepper (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:551916) mentioned and liked as an alternative for those who don't want the 2nd extruder.. I like the design, but am looking at all alternatives. (installation seems to be complex )

I'm thinking of getting new nozzles, so I want to the Flashforge pages, and see there is a 'Turbo Fan' item there, that seems to Be what shippings with the printer as a stock item now (http://www.flashforge-usa.com/shop/p...turbo-fan.html).

It may just be that my google-fu is not strong, but I do not see any information about whether this might be something I can retro-fit to my Powerspec 3dPro Flashforge clone, nor to I see any installation tips, if it can be fit.

Can any one in the collective offer an opinion on this?

Thanks in advance for answers.

Cheers,

John

update: I fixed my google fu. This is effective for the left extruder. Looks like the half stepper is the way to go. Thanks!
