Ender 3 CR-10 Direct Drive BMG Bondtech Extruder E3D V6 and Volcano

This is a remix of Wundel's Ender 3 Direct Drive conversion kit, showcasing impressive promise, but unfortunately, two negative comments arose - one concerning the oversight of a spot to tie cables and another regarding tilting the 5015 fan at 45 degrees, which resulted in its swift demise. Additionally, I was dissatisfied with the part cooling aspect, as it only offered cooling from one side. Therefore, utilizing my basic 3D design skills, I made adjustments to the models to address these issues. A cable ziptie post was created, and a new two-side cooling duct was designed, featuring an upright 5015 fan. The fan duct nozzles were borrowed from Acwest's stunning Hero Me fan duct design. (Thanks are in order!) On my variant, I had to sacrifice the spot for the bed leveling sensor. To function properly, the hotend cooling duct must be attached on the right side, blowing air from right to left. The height of the part cooling fan is adjustable, and this design is compatible with both V6 Volcano and standard V6 hotends. In Wundel's original design, a 30mm clip on hotend cooling fan duct and a 30 to 40mm fan adapter were used. I merged these two components into one, combining the 30mm and 40mm ducts. Furthermore, I employed a 40mm fan guard (4HOLE.STL) from Prot0typ1cal.
