E3D V6 Velleman K8200 & 3Drag extruder holder including 40mm fan-mount

Yes, another E3D V6 holder has been designed to meet specific sturdiness requirements. Previous holders did not live up to expectations. However, this one works flawlessly without any adjustments needed on the extruder base. To achieve optimal performance, I lowered the fan setting for maximum flow on lower cooling fins and maximized flow diameter. The design boasts an incredibly low temperature on the lowest fin, resulting in a drastic heat gradient through the heat break. In fact, the thermal management is so effective that retraction of filament without heating up the extruder is feasible, even though this is not recommended practice. A further benefit of this design lies in its compatibility with a gear cover - ample space for one remains in the general arrangement. Update As an additional step, material removal has been implemented to ensure optimal holding capability, as residual parts had found their way into undesirable areas. Instructions: Installation requires only minor modifications: file and sand as needed for a precise fit. The part is designed for snug installation, hence, avoid loose wobbles. Infill ratio at 25% is sufficient; use ABS plastic material due to its superior performance in this specific context. This creation drew inspiration from a similar concept found on Thingiverse under the identifier: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:832237
