Hot end silicone thermal sock model

WARNING: Do not print this. Use it for decoration only, and not for hot ends! If you absolutely must use it for a hot end, then use the PLA print to create a mold first, and then cast it in silicone, which can withstand higher temperatures. This is a 3D model of a thermal sock made from silicone that came with my All Metal Hot End. Despite its hard appearance, this sock is actually soft like rubber, highly temperature-resistant, and designed to wrap around the heater block of the hot end, protecting it from excessive cooling caused by the fans. I created this model to help me design my Z-X mod, a fang modification that I am working on. By sharing it, I hope other mod designers can benefit from my design as well.
