Kossel mini effector assembly

I must admit that the design isn't particularly groundbreaking, as many others have elements similar to it. However, none of them quite matched my vision. From scratch was essentially what I had to do, since none of those designs were created using a CAD program compatible with mine. To create something truly unique, I combined the concepts I'd seen into one cohesive design. The result is an effector featuring a probe, utilizing the hotend nozzle for its purpose, and accommodating the e3dv6 hotend. A cooling duct was also incorporated, which I'm particularly fond of. Most components were printed in PLA, but the fan duct was made from PETG, along with some fan holder links that I had to print without cooling due to a lack of it at the time. PLA isn't exactly known for handling that stress well. To assemble this project, you'll need a 50x15 blower fan, a microswitch, various M3 screws and nuts in unspecified lengths, and a couple of smaller screws (2mm) for securing the microswitch. Here's what bed leveling looks like:
