We Phlatformed a new idea for a ducted fan unit. The idea came from Mark and Dennis (Green1277) talking at the flying field about splitting a ducted fan into two separate ducts and controlling each duct with a vector nozzle. It needs some tweaking but came out pretty cool.

We also announced a winner for the Design the Phlatprinter MK3 Cooling Fan Guard. Thank you everyone who entered and congratulations to 3DMON on winning the contest. Your Cooling Fan Cover is awesome and is going to go out on every Phlatprinter. We have decided to make this part, as with have with many other parts, customizable. You will be able to remove this cooling fan guard and replace it with your own.

It was a cool show and we appreciate everyone hanging out and offering their comments and opinions.
