Minion D Fan adapter

This adapter allows a snap in fit to the MinionD cooling duct (red section attached to the fan) https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4858249 This original duct fits the original Ender cooling fan, but I was not satisfied with the low cfm of that fan, this adapter allows you to fit a 40x20mm blower fan (no affiliation with the below link, its just the one I chose, but any similar spec'd fan should work) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08R9J189T?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1 Plus if you have already printed the original you need only to print this to upgrade, I guess you could also mod this to fit any number of fans to experiment without needing to print an entirely new minionD part. I also added a 100mil male header to my ender3 so swapping out fan assys is clean and simple for any future changes. And I'm sure there will be opinions as to what cooler is better, for better or worse this is the one I chose, and so far it works fine, doesn't require moving the CR touch or new bracket, etc. One other tip, I oriented the fan so the open side is up, the reason for this is that the lower fans have a slight offset in the blower housing, so this orientation places the "dead" space away from the opening, so it 'should' be more efficient compared to orienting the open side down, not a cooling expert, so could be wrong.
