So its looking like the 3 cfm fans for cloughs design arent quite enough. Ive been thinking that was also part of my problem. I have both of my fans wired in parrallel all blowing out the back. Im beginning to wonder if the opening is big enough for 4-5 cfm.
Oh did you leave the shroud in place and just add the stock fan?

This is great info. I'm working on a double extruder that will take the e3d, and it sounds like I need to make room for the stock fans.

Clough42: do you think you could modify the double shroud to mount the two fans to the front of that, to still utilize the shroud and exhausting up behind the extruder?

Hey sniffle, where are you on this? I'll be throwing another v6 onto one of my printers soon and I really hate E3D's stock fan setup. Are the files you already posted current?

yeah they are complete at this point other than the part cooling which i've been sidetracked on with other projects, with the E3D there really is no other choice but to use the stock fan setup in the front, but you can use my shroud as well, and leave the fan off of the X shelf so that the air still exhausts up behind the gears.
