Description
What this is
This is a protective and aesthetic fan cover, designed for the printhead of the Kobra S1 Max.
It does NOT modify airflow performance, but helps:
- prevent accidental contact with the fan
- reduce the risk of debris entering the fan area
- improve the overall look of the printhead
Why you might want it
Let’s be honest:
Stock setup looks unfinished and the fan is exposed.
This solves that.
- cleaner visual integration
- added protection for moving fan blades
- safer handling during maintenance
Design intent
The geometry is designed to:
- keep the fan visible
- avoid blocking airflow unnecessarily
- maintain compatibility with the original housing
Print settings
- 0.2 layer height
- 3 walls
- 15–20% infill
- PLA or PETG
Installation
- Position the grill over the fan opening
- Press-fit or align depending on version
- Ensure it sits flush with the housing
Notes
- This is primarily an aesthetic and protective upgrade
- Does not improve cooling performance
- Designed for safe everyday use
