Qidi X-One Blower Fan Duct and Mount

This is an improved version of the blower fan bracket and blower fan duct assembly. Based heavily on these two designs: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2139368 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2086927 Key features of this design include: - A convenient cable bundle securement system using a zip tie. - Strategically recessed hex holes for M3 nuts. - Cooling bar-hugging walls that minimize bracket movement. - Easier-to-access mounting points for the fan duct. - A sleeker, curvier fan duct design. - Parametric Solidworks files available. While I don't expect any significant performance improvements in measurable terms (JP's fan duct was already superior to the stock fan duct), having this design in Solidworks enables me to experiment with various fan duct designs more efficiently. Additionally, swapping out the duct should now be easier due to improved accessibility of mounting points. Long-term goals include implementing magnetic mounts for the fan duct and exploring a wrap-around duct concept. This assembly is designed to complement https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2490406 Update 08-24-17: An alternative duct variant, positioned further away from the heater block with a slightly larger opening pointing downwards, has been added. This design has not yet been printed. Update 08-28-17: This assembly is also compatible with https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2502216
