Ducting practice.. I have had enough for now!

I am not able to get 3 valve, 3 orifice to work substantially better than 2 valve, 2 nozzle orifice. There is not enough air available with the orifice size I am currently using with 2 valve and reduced to an overall volume of 2 valve OG duct.
Getting better results now with the 2 valve , 3 nozzle orifice.
Months and months back I made a 3 valve, 3 nozzle orifice duct that was centered around the nozzle. I felt that was the best choice due to the 360° coverage of the air. I used it for some time, and IIRC, I went to print something that did not cool well on a speed print. I removed the duct and put the 2 valve and it was good. So I wanted to revisit this and see if I can make it work... Not yet.. I may need a different approach for the next one.

Great info mate. Is there a video on the valves and their use never seen them beforneon other ducts. Cheers!

No, not really. Something I have been at for the last year or so trying to improve on.

There are some other videos I made with different style ducts, fan's and my explanations in the videos for each. I started with octoduct and it brought me into designing the valve duct.

@@MrRocksalt Have you made the designs available to the community? I'd love to try one out!

why are the ducts shaped like that with the 3 big open holes or you are calling them valves ? how do they work ?

@MrRocksalt 2 ай бұрын

A traditional 'valve', like in a motorcycle engine,is placed in that hole. The air rolls over the lip of the valve and it makes an air curtain. That air curtain travels across the plate no matter where the toolhead is. so you get dedicated nozzle cooling and some plate cooling at the same time. When the toolhead moves, that valve air is still hitting the part.

There is a version on thingiverse for VZbot: www.thingiverse.com/thing:6313653 you can play with that..step is not available to the public. That duct is a little different, same principle, and works well.
