Modus Predator MK8 Cooling mod.

Like Doc Brown once said, "If you're gonna design a Time Machine, why not do it with some style!" I have a few cooling mods that didn't make the build plate, but I'll release them eventually - Aliens themed, Doctor Who, and more. I made this for myself, just for fun - it's not perfect, but the first print was good enough to use, and could've had some improvements, but as I said, it was a fun project. But when I posted this on Facebook, I got about 100 requests to post the files, so here they are - I never really intended to upload it. Unlike most other cooling ducts, this one is not designed to blow directly onto the tip of your print. It's made for large format printers like mine, which can print up to 400mm wide and fast. So the airflow needs to be directed at the bed rather than the tip - you can adjust the pipes in Blender or another modeling program if needed. I recently got a Wombot Modus and wanted to change its cooling system because the stock one was too aggressive and cooled down the nozzle too much during printing, leading to dramatic temperature drops and cold extrusions. I wanted a cooler that wasn't too intense but still did the job. It had to clear the MK8 offset and allow for clean air intake from both fans and filament feed - this design seemed like the most logical one. This cooling mod uses a 30mm fan (just like on most E3D extruders) and screws directly into the front of the existing extruder assembly. Note: You'll need to cut a small notch out of the box for the wires of the 30mm fan - it was an afterthought, so instead of reprinting the entire tubes, I just made a small notch for the wires to come through and still allow the box to snap tight.
