An active cooling solution for printed filament of both printer heads of R2X. It reduces curling of corners and smaller parts on ABS prints.
The fan is powered by external USB power supply, like a USB phone charger, or powered USB port on computer. I decided to go with an external power source, so I don't have to monkey with the R2X electronic.
With this design, when installed properly, it will clear all internal R2X parts within the normal range of travel.
The two photos with the red sphere printed in MBI PLA shows the difference in result between with and without active cooling for PLA printing.
