Hi AndrewBCN,

Have you uploaded the files for that minimalist extruder? Have you tried it yet? Do you have a picture of it assembled???

Here is the one I was looking at:

what does the orange part do?

Andrew, can you confirm that your design is for 30mm fans?

Thanks Andrew & Dougal. I think I have a V6. The current fan is 40mm but is mounted higher than in Andrew's photo, and the bottom of the fan is lower than in the photo. I'll try to adapt Andrew's design for the V6 when he publishes it. I'll also need to add something to mount the IR sensor on.

I have one question. Does blowing cold air to tip of the nozzle improve printing quality?
