CR-10 / Tronxy Mittens Cooler

Let's keep it cool! My take on a better cooler for the CR-10 Tronxy X1/3 type hotend is a game-changer. The stock CR-10 setup can overcool the heater block if you don't wrap it, and the parts cooler doesn't cool all sides well. My Tronxy X3 didn't come with a parts cooler, which made it impossible to get temps above 205C. I tried out several popular coolers but they didn't fit my original parts blower or just weren't that efficient. So, I came up with the Mittens Cooler. It's printed in PETG and weighs only 12 grams. What sets it apart is a clever twist that creates a vortex of air. To get this cooler up and running, you'll need a few things: a 5015 blower/fan, some screws, a bit of rewiring, and a healthy dose of tenacity. Reportedly, the Mittens Cooler works with the Tevo Tornado too! **WARNING:** It works for me, but your results may vary wildly. I've spent dozens and dozens of printed revisions to get to this version. If you find it useful and want to encourage my insanity, buy a cup of coffee for me or a bag of coffee - any value will do! Thanks! Note: This cooler isn't compatible with the auto-leveling sensor. If you send one my way, I'll try to make one fit.
