Fan Shroud for PrintrBot 1401 Simple Maker's Edition with Ubis 13s hotend

I had trouble finding a design that matched my old PrintrBot 1401, so I created one in Lightwave (my go-to choice). This model uses the standard 30mm fan and laser-cut wood Y arm. I've made several upgrades to my printer (GT-belt, Stability, Filament holder, Cable Chain, Marlin 1.1.9, etc.), but this area remains mostly stock, except for the 13s hotend. I sliced the design with Cura and printed it at 90% infill without any support on my Printrbot 1401. This upgrade should make someone's 13s installation a bit easier. ("Why would you put a Ubis 13s on a PrinterBot 1401 wood printer?!!!": My ceramic hotend stopped working (irreparable repeated clogs) and I won't be doing much printing for the next 12 months or so (a guess), but I need my printer now. I want to keep it running and buy new technology later, rather than buying 2018 stuff and storing it for a year. Buying a new Ubis 13s was a great price+effort compromise, and it really works well: I can print faster and LOTS better with the 13s. I'm very happy with it now. This will also let me pass on my working starter printer to my son when I upgrade.)
