Can anyone recommend a fan shroud for the bed to aid bridging - like to give it a go.
I3v 8"
Standard Gregs Extruder
E3D-V6 hotend (which has a fan already on the upper part of the block)
Seems to be quite a few designs out there, some good comments, some bad. One with good comments looks like it would be too low for the bed and I would be nervous of it cooling the hot end too much,but I guess this is compensated by the heating staying on longer?

I discovered I installed this incorrectly. The mount to the extruder is slightly offset. I reversed and no drag now. I probably did not read the instructions.
A 40mm fan from Maplins (UK high st supplier) which strangely had three cables, fitted a treat! I discarded the yellow wire after testing that black and red were indeed power and ground. All hooked up to D9 and it works brilliantly and controlled via the software.
Just printed a big piece with two 110mm horizontal bridges and it is 99% perfect!
Just getting into 123D Design which I think very good except for moving objects against other objects - not great as processes need to be repeated and offsets calculated and adjusted for measurements. Of course I may be doing something wrong.
Thanks to those that advised. Case Closed.
