A more powerful Fang..

[The Hat]

Ugh, you guys are the WORST influences ever!!!

If I was smart, I would have printed 5 different bridging, quality, etc. tests before, then the same ones with the exact same settings after.

... oh well, just another case where my impatience got the better of me.

If it Ain’t broke yet, then make another adjustment quick...

Probably work better as it will increase the static pressure slightly and keep the flow a bit more constant.

What is the FANG supposed to do? Cool the hot nozzle? Cool the extruded plastic as it comes out of the nozzle or as the plastic is laid down?

What is resisting the air flow that makes increased static pressure useful?

@stratman, If someone explains the ins and outs of the workings of the Fang to you, will you promise to get yourself a shiny new 3D printer for Christmas...

He has slightly narrowed the outlets creating more back pressure.

Here is a good bridging test for any "fang" if you guys want to try it out...

I thought all Nifty did was use a heat gun and tweezers to reposition the air flow, not decrease the diameter of the pipe air flows through. ???

In the example of computer case fans, you want increased static pressure (focused air flow) from a fan if there are obstacles to air flow, such as from a radiator of a water cooling unit or hard drives partially blocking air flow, so that there is less dead air due to obstruction and more air flowing around obstructions. Otherwise, a "high flow fan that provides more air per minute (CFM), but less static pressure, may provide better cooling when obstructions is not an issue.

Doesn't look like that's going to happen. No one has explained it yet.
