e3d v6 Cooler for 40mm fan

thingiverse

I couldn't find any coolers for a 40mm fan that worked with these parts (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2667535 and https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1657971). Visually, everything fits perfectly. I installed two outlets pointing upwards between the extruder and the heater block to prevent melting of the printed holder at higher temperatures. You can see how it sits together with other linked parts in the pictures above. Hopefully, this design will be useful if you've encountered the same issue as I did. Update: Version 6 was noticed to have an issue where the heating block had trouble staying at target temperature with my fan. As a result, version 6 was updated so that instead of being aimed upwards, it's aimed downwards towards the print. Additionally, the distance from the print bed was increased by one extra millimeter. Update #2: Version 7 includes room for a 45x9x2mm (size of "hole" = 47x10x2.5mm) LED strip underneath as well as a funnel for the cord. There are two versions, left and right, with the funnel located either on the right or the left when viewed from the front. The exit of the funnel is in two different locations. Room was made to fit a 3-LED bar for drones, but you have the dimensions you need to know if something fits or not. The v6 version is identical except there's no room for an LED strip. Supports are needed when printing v7 and it's recommended to use tree supports or place your own so that you don't get supports on the inside. I will address this issue at a later time. Update #3: Versions of V7 with 0.5mm supports in place were added. These should be able to be printed without any additional supports other than touching the build plate. My printer is currently out of order, so I haven't been able to print yet.
