CiiiCooler inverted for Wanhao Duplicator i3 / Maker Select

Invirted CiiiCooler, This is a remix of Pawpawpaw85's CiiiCooler. (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2004629) This model lets you flip the fan around so that the air intake is away from the wires and control board on the Wanhao Duplicator I3 plus. I wasn't aware people weren't supposed to remix the original CiiiCooler. Only after I tried to upload the model and list Pawpawpaw85's CiiiCooler as the original and couldn't, I found out I wasn't supposed to remix it. I've been in contact with Pawpawpaw85 and he (gender assumed; engineer and such) kindly enough explained he's very picky when it comes to the coolers since he has spent months developing, simulating, and prototyping these items, therefore having a restriction for it being modified and uploaded. That being said, I was allowed to upload it if I would include the following: With the fan being flipped 180 degrees, flow dynamics is altered and hasn't been simulated; it may or may not work as well as the original CiiiCooler. With the fan being flipped, you should be aware that you're letting slightly warmer air into the cooler because the fan draws the air right from the heat bed at low height. I print most of my prints with the bed temperature at 60°C and start cooling at layer 2; I haven't run into issues with improper cooling. Models printed with the inverted cooler and the original came out equal. This model just gives me better ease of mind knowing nothing can fall into the fan blades, no wires can get sucked into it, and the overall air intake is unrestricted. Much thanks to Pawpawpaw85 (https://www.thingiverse.com/Pawpawpaw85/about) for making the original and allowing me to upload my remixed version.
