Be careful you don't overdo the cooling thing. I "upgraded" the print cooling on my Mendel variant and ran into problems with layers not adhering well. I think my problem was that the cooling air was being directed too closely to the nozzle and the filament was cooling too quickly before it could adhere properly to the previous layer. I'm actually getting better results by turning the print cooling off for all but the smallest objects and even then, only tuning it on after about 10 layers or more. Mind you, I've only ever played with PLA and mostly at 0.3mm layer height, other filaments/different layer heights may act differently. Juts a word of caution...........

I'm working on designing a loc-line style duct with multiple hoses coming from the fan that I can orient however I want. If it doesn't work, I'll go with my original plan to use two fans and I just won't use 100% power.

At the end of the day, the quality of the filament can be almost completely compensated for just by tuning the printer well. That said, I really don't know whether or not my filament (hatchbox) is "good quality" compared to other filaments. What I can tell you is after the past year of working with it, I can get some damn beautiful prints out of it with the proper settings.
