			<description><![CDATA[<p>Printed out this fan shroud i found in the Fan Installation post.<br /><a href="http://www.soliforum.com/topic/182/nozzle-fan-duct/">http://www.soliforum.com/topic/182/nozzle-fan-duct/</a></p><p>Got a small switch from Autozone and some Speaker wire to hook it up.<br /><span class="postimg"><img src="http://soliforum.com/i/?Qjv0JxR.jpg" alt="http://soliforum.com/i/?Qjv0JxR.jpg" /></span></p><p>Drilled a hole in the back for the switch. Didn&#039;t want to put it in the metal case in case i wanted to remove it.<br /><span class="postimg"><img src="http://soliforum.com/i/?17lQ95P.jpg" alt="http://soliforum.com/i/?17lQ95P.jpg" /></span></p><p>I took both ends of a plug out of an old router so i could disconnect it.<br /><span class="postimg"><img src="http://soliforum.com/i/?isaXgh2.jpg" alt="http://soliforum.com/i/?isaXgh2.jpg" /></span></p><p>Shoved the wire through the braid.<br /><span class="postimg"><img src="http://soliforum.com/i/?HbnvLK1.jpg" alt="http://soliforum.com/i/?HbnvLK1.jpg" /></span><br /><span class="postimg"><img src="http://soliforum.com/i/?e1tvMj5.jpg" alt="http://soliforum.com/i/?e1tvMj5.jpg" /></span></p><p>I jumped my power from the lights but instead of splicing into the wire i saw there was some space in the plug where the wires are inserted and took some jumper wires i had and removed the plastic part, flattened the metal end and shoved it into the same plug.<br /><span class="postimg"><img src="http://soliforum.com/i/?1ApHOqP.jpg" alt="http://soliforum.com/i/?1ApHOqP.jpg" /></span></p><p>Then wired it all together.<br /><span class="postimg"><img src="http://soliforum.com/i/?6xg5I5A.jpg" alt="http://soliforum.com/i/?6xg5I5A.jpg" /></span><br /><span class="postimg"><img src="http://soliforum.com/i/?K7SiUAq.jpg" alt="http://soliforum.com/i/?K7SiUAq.jpg" /></span></p><p>soldered and heat-wrapped the female plug<br /><span class="postimg"><img src="http://soliforum.com/i/?1ixiJ3r.jpg" alt="http://soliforum.com/i/?1ixiJ3r.jpg" /></span></p><p>Hot Glued it in place. (Wasnt sure at first about using hot glue but it was actually very solid)<br /><span class="postimg"><img src="http://soliforum.com/i/?2jtyq28.jpg" alt="http://soliforum.com/i/?2jtyq28.jpg" /></span><br /><span class="postimg"><img src="http://soliforum.com/i/?xEzYMMM.jpg" alt="http://soliforum.com/i/?xEzYMMM.jpg" /></span></p><p>Plugged it in.<br /><span class="postimg"><img src="http://soliforum.com/i/?Mp4Y0SE.jpg" alt="http://soliforum.com/i/?Mp4Y0SE.jpg" /></span><br />It Works!<br /><span class="postimg"><img src="http://soliforum.com/i/?9QsMCns.jpg" alt="http://soliforum.com/i/?9QsMCns.jpg" /></span></p><p>So then i thought i ought to try it out....aaaand it melted....<br /><span class="postimg"><img src="http://soliforum.com/i/?UcOicug.jpg" alt="http://soliforum.com/i/?UcOicug.jpg" /></span><br /><span class="postimg"><img src="http://soliforum.com/i/?BeE9fgD.jpg" alt="http://soliforum.com/i/?BeE9fgD.jpg" /></span></p><p>So im printing another one. I think it may have been because it wasnt completely level witht he bed and the back side was touching the hot end. this time ill make sure its much more level.</p><p>Oh also i had to do some minor modifications to get it to fit in the first place, like filing a grove in the end to clear a bolt. you can see in that first picture of the shroud. and the top mounting piece had to be modified to fit.</p>]]></description>
