Anet A6 alternative fan plate

<b>Anet A6 Alternative Fan Plate Solution</b> I aimed to provide an open extruder for a clear view of what's going on and effortless filament changes, which can be challenging with the Anet A6. To achieve this, I designed a custom fan plate to accommodate a 30x30mm fan instead of the standard 40x40mm type, incorporating cable fixation mechanisms along the way. By removing the heat sink, additional weight savings are achieved. **Drawback:** The blower blows dust directly onto the filament input. If this is undesirable, it's best not to use this solution. **Required Additional Components:** * 1x 30x30mm axial fan in place of the original 40x40mm one * 4x M3x16mm screws, nuts, and washers for mounting the fan (2 are sufficient) **History** <b>Version 0.2.0</b> An enhanced version designed for public release. <b>Version 0.1.0</b> Initial prototype featuring a 40x40mm fan - not publicly shared.
