prusa Anet a8 modular extruder nozzle cooling adapter

This is an Anet A8 Extruder Nozzle Fan Mod for Standard Size 80x80 PC Fans. There are countless adapters like this out there, but none fit the Anet A8 printer perfectly, so I decided to create my own custom solution. I've made it modular, allowing you to easily connect additional accessories with ease. This adapter is fully compatible with factory nozzle cooling ducts - the duct hole mount is the same size and position as the original. All original mounting screws should fit seamlessly. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to install this mod: 1. Remove your existing nozzle duct. 2. Unscrew the existing nozzle fan. 3. Mount your new, bigger fan to this adapter. 4. Mount the adapter in place of the old fan - the fan screws should fit snugly. 5. Mount your old nozzle duct back into position. 6. Connect the fan cable. Have fun and enjoy your upgraded printer! This project is still in its testing phase, so I'd love for you to comment on any issues, print settings, pictures, or feature requests you may have. UPDATE AFTER FIRST PRINT: Everything seems to be working smoothly except for one minor issue - the mounting screw position. It's in the wrong place, and I'll need to drill a hole into the metal thing to fix it. However, when I'm done with my upgrade, I'll upload a corrected project for everyone to enjoy. You can print this mod as is and drill your own hole if needed - everything else should work perfectly. I've already tested this mod with: ABS with 0.1 layer height, 5mm brim, and support enabled. The cooler mount was laid on the bed during printing.
