Nice!
Here's a stupid question: on pic 13, you can see the tattoo on the arm of the person. Is it a tattoo of a 3d printer? That would be the coolest tattoo I've ever seen!

The artwork must have taken many hours to design and the tattooist is a true artist!

I designed a fan duct like that last summer. It worked okay, but encouraged jamming. The flow path was smooth and had a good cross section, but the hot end would always heat soak after awhile. I added a damper that would allow some air to bypass the cooling duct and that helped a little. Eventually I abandoned the idea and decided to use three of the tiny SeeMe blowers.
I think this duct uses a larger fan than the one that came with my E3D. I wish I'd tried that!
One of the first things I 3D printed was a duct blowing into a hollow torus surrounding the hot end. The bottom of the torus is cut out for the air to escape. If the cut was the same width all around, all the air would escape at the duct, where the pressure is highest. So, I made the cut narrower there and tapered it wider towards the opposite end. At the time I didn't realize it was better to use round ducting, and I never was able to get it to flow right. Maybe with a bigger fan, that kind of design could be made to work. Potentially better than even the three-blower setup.
