REMIX_Xafang cooling fang for Creality Hotend

thingiverse

I'm absolutely thrilled with this fang style part cooler and mount design created by Sirxaph. The nozzle visibility is simply amazing, and I found it a breeze to print compared to other fang designs out there. However, the first issue I encountered was a problem with the stock Creality 4010 fan fitting on the fang, just like with some of the other fang designs available. It turns out that the manufacturer changed the mount thickness on newer 4010 fans, as shown in the pictures below. The second challenge is that the mount relies solely on one screw to the x-axis backplate. Since the stock hot end box uses two screws for stability, I wanted to ensure the same level of support. To resolve both issues, I remixed the final mount file and the original fang models to accommodate the newer Creality stock 4010 fan, adding a hole and channel in the mounting block so that the second screw could be utilized. I hope this helps others who are facing similar problems, and I'd like to extend my gratitude to Sirxaph for designing an exceptional fang that prints exceptionally well and functions flawlessly. If Sirxaph doesn't mind, I've made a few tweaks to their design, which is already fantastic.
